Acrylic resin transfer pump
Thread Content
Dear teachers, our factory needs to transfer acrylic resin stored in iron drums into a mixing container, and we are considering using a pump for this purpose. What type of pump would be suitable? Since the medium is at a lower level, a pump that can self-priming is required, as well as one that is explosion-proof. Thank you for your advice!

Generally, internal gear pumps are used for fluids with high viscosity. But how high is the self-priming capacity required? If the diameter of the pump’s inlet pipe is too small, self-priming will likely be difficult
Plunger pumps are primarily used in high-pressure process systems. Moreover, they have relatively poor self-priming capabilities. If you need information on internal gear pumps, please contact us
Gear pumps are recommended; high-pressure piston pumps are not suitable, and diaphragm pumps are a better choice.
It is recommended to use a diaphragm pump; our factory uses this type
