PP / PVDF Centrifugal Monobloc Pumps

ConveyPro Systems · Industrial Pumps

Polypropylene horizontal centrifugal pump with motor on base plate

Horizontal monobloc centrifugal pumps in polypropylene for acids, alkalis and chemical transfer, 10 to 55 m3/hr, to 80 °C.

Also known as: PP centrifugal pump, Polypropylene pump, Chemical transfer pump, Acid transfer pump, Monoblock chemical pump

A monobloc centrifugal pump has the impeller mounted straight on the motor shaft, so it is compact and cheap to maintain. In polypropylene it handles acids, alkalis and many aqueous chemicals that would eat a metal pump, at flows of 10 to 55 m3/hr and heads of 11 to 35 m.

The semi-open impeller tolerates some fine solids better than a closed one. The Teflon bellow seal and ceramic shaft sleeve are the parts that deal with the chemical.

It is the wrong answer above 80 °C, for strong solvents that attack PP (look at PVDF or a seal-less pump), for high-viscosity liquids, and where the pump must lift liquid from below it. A centrifugal pump needs to be primed and should not run dry.

Selection notes

  • Install it with a flooded suction (liquid level above the pump), so it stays primed.
  • Keep the suction line short, wide and air-tight.
  • Do not run it against a closed discharge for more than a short time; the liquid heats up.
  • PP has a lower temperature limit than the maximum quoted for the pump; check it against your liquid.

Strong solvents or hotter liquidsPVDF version or a magnetic drive pump

No leaks from a shaft sealMagnetic drive pump
Viscous liquidsPositive displacement or barrel pump

What to send us for a quote

Pumps are chosen by the liquid first and the duty second. Give us as much of this as you can.

  • Name of the liquid and its concentration
  • Temperature of the liquid
  • Viscosity, and the size and amount of any solids
  • Flow you need and the height or pressure it must work against
  • Where the pump sits relative to the liquid (flooded, or suction lift)
  • Power or compressed air you have available
  • Whether the area is hazardous (flammable or explosive atmosphere)

Frequently asked questions

About 10 to 55 m3/hr at about 11 to 35 m head, depending on model.

80 °C for the pump. The liquid and the PP material may limit it lower, so tell us the liquid.

Yes, many, depending on the acid, strength and temperature. Send us the details.

No. Install it with the liquid above the pump, or prime it first.

No; dry running damages the seal. Fit a run-dry protection or use an AODD pump.

Small amounts of fine solids, through the semi-open impeller. For slurries use an AODD pump.

Tell us the area and the liquid before you order. We do not claim hazardous-area certification on this page, so we will confirm what can be supplied for your area.
