Chemical Spill Clean Up

Chemical spill clean up

The Salarollpump system can be used for chemical spill clean up as no mechanical components will come into contact with the discharged media.
The hose inside the pump housing is made from Nitrile, which is resistant to many chemicals. Other hose materials are available and can be supplied upon request.

The Salarollpump can handle temperatures of 212^oF (100^oC) and may increase to 266^oF (130^oC).

When pumping flammable liquids the system must be grounded to earth. The power pack can be placed in a location that prevents contact with flammable liquids and fumes.

Combination of high temperatures and aggressive chemicals may reduce the lifetime of the hose. It is recommended to replace the hose after a clean-up of aggressive chemicals. The table opposite indicates values estimated for normal clean-up.
