Innumerable objects that we see and use in our daily lives only achieved their final form after a harsh production process that may have included the use of any number of abrasive media. This white paper examines several manufacturing applications or components where abrasive chemicals are used and the best type of pump technology to incorporate in those processes. Choosing the right pump will not only ensure that the desired final product is produced, but that the entire manufacturing process will be completed efficiently and effectively at a cost-conscious rate, and with a minimum of potentially costly pump maintenance and downtime.
