Product Introduction

The IHF Fluoroplastic Centrifugal Pump is a high-performance, corrosion-resistant pump specifically engineered for handling highly aggressive chemicals, corrosive liquids, and abrasive fluids in industrial, chemical, and municipal applications. The pump’s fluoroplastic lining, typically made from PTFE, PFA, or FEP, ensures excellent chemical resistance, preventing corrosion and prolonging service life even under harsh operating conditions.

Designed for industrial processes requiring reliability, precision, and energy efficiency, the IHF Fluoroplastic Centrifugal Pump is widely used in chemical processing, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment, and industrial manufacturing. Its horizontal or vertical configuration and availability in single-stage or multistage designs provide versatility in meeting various flow and pressure requirements.

The pump integrates advanced hydraulic design, robust construction, and precision-engineered components, ensuring leak-free operation, stable flow, and energy-efficient performance. Optional mechanical seals, magnetic drives, and automation features allow integration with modern industrial systems, including PLC and SCADA-controlled processes. The pump also complies with international standards such as ISO 2858, ISO 5199, API 610, CE, and ISO 9001, ensuring safety, quality, and regulatory compliance.
