Metal Finishing and Plating

Plating lines and finishing shops pump some of the nastiest chemistry in industry: chromic and sulfuric baths, pickling acids, rinses, and filtration loops that eat seals for a living. The fix is sealless. We stock the magnetic drive, vertical, and drum pump series that metal finishers run on bath transfer, filtration, and chemical handling, in the polypropylene, PVDF, and ETFE wetted materials the chemistry demands.

What finishing shops buy here

• Bath circulation and filtration: Finish Thompson DB and KC sealless mag drive centrifugals, Iwaki MDM and MXM magnetic drive process pumps, and March MDX sealless pumps.

• In-tank and sump duty: Finish Thompson AV, VKC, and MSVKC vertical pumps that run with the wet end submerged and no seal to fail.

• Drum and tote transfer: Finish Thompson EF, PF, and SF drum pumps and Lutz JESCO AIRTRAN diaphragm pumps for concentrates and additions.

• Higher head duty: Finish Thompson UC heavy duty mag drive and MSDB multistage sealless centrifugals.

• Line support: Hayward strainers, filters, and instrumentation for the loop around the pump.

Each series page lists wetted materials and chemical compatibility so you can match the pump to the bath. Browse plating pumps, metal pickling pumps, surface treatment pumps, and acid pumps, or request a quote with your bath chemistry and we will spec the wetted path.
