Vanton produces vertical and horizontal centrifugal pumps, peristaltic pumps and pump/tank systems for corrosion-free handling of up to 1000gal/min (4m3/min) of acidic and caustic chemicals across the entire pH range, as well as reagent grade chemicals, ultra pure water and other contamination-sensitive fluids.

‘Our pumps operate in more than 75 countries across all industries in which corrosive or ultra pure fluids are handled including water and waste treatment, pollution control, metal finishing, chemical processing, pulp and paper, mining and semiconductor manufacturing,’ said Comerford.
‘As environmental regulations tighten worldwide, dependability in containing harmful chemicals increases, which is squarely where Vanton excels.’
