Straight talk on

Pumping Muriatic Acid Old-time process engineers used to shudder at the thought of pumping muriatic (hydrochloric) acid. This highly corrosive acid, as is well known, attacks most metals and packing materials, so that before the advent of Van ton Pump's unique sealless design, it presented a chronic and annoying pumping problem. Two standard solutions were available in those days, neither of them completely satisfactory: one, rubber pumps, of conventional design, and with the usual seal problems; the other, pumps made of Hastelloy C, a special corrosion-resistant alloy, with special seals. This was extremely expensive, as these small-capacity pumps often cost consider­ able sums. A Vanton sealless plastic pump now does the same job, without shaft seals, leakage, or mainten­ ance problems—at one tenth the pump cost! Vanton's solution is a combination of two new

ideas: new materials, plastics, that resist attack by almost any corrosive material going; and a radically new design, that eliminates shaft seal problems by simply eliminating shaft seals! Van ton sealless plastic pumps are now in use in factories throughout the nation, handling everything from sulfuric acid and hypochlorite bleach to abrasive slurries and contamination-sensitive solutions as well. No matter what your corrosion, abrasion, or con­ tamination-sensitive pumping problem may be, you deserve to take a look at what Van ton's combination of new design and new plastic materials can do for you.Write for descriptive literature to Van ton Pump & Eqpt.
