Why Choose the CX-S-6.0-88 Magnetic Gear Metering Pump?

 

Given the corrosive and crystallization-prone nature of potassium hydroxide solution, along with the site requirements for explosion protection and variable speed control, the CX-S-6.0-88 model delivers significant technical advantages.

 

First, superior corrosion-resistant material combination.

 

Potassium hydroxide is a strong alkali and demands high material standards for pump construction. The CX-S-6.0-88 features an SS316 stainless steel pump body, which offers outstanding resistance to alkaline corrosion. The gears are manufactured from PEEK engineering plastic. PEEK not only withstands high temperatures and chemical attack but also maintains excellent dimensional stability, making it ideal for handling 45-degree Celsius KOH solution while effectively resisting wear from abrasive crystals that tend to form in alkaline media.

 

Second, magnetic drive for leak-free operation.

 

The pump employs a magnetic coupling drive design, eliminating the need for traditional mechanical seals. This static-sealing configuration ensures completely leak-free operation, preventing costly loss of potassium hydroxide solution while significantly enhancing operator safety and maintaining a clean working environment. It is particularly well-suited for handling corrosive and hazardous chemical fluids.

 

Third, precise flow control.

 

As a positive-displacement gear pump, the CX-S-6.0-88 delivers stable, pulse-free flow output. When paired with a variable frequency drive, it enables accurate flow adjustment across the 1 to 10 L/min range, ensuring formulation accuracy and consistent production quality in chemical processes.

 

Fourth, explosion-proof and drive configuration.

 

The pump is equipped with a Wenzhou Nanyang brand secondary explosion-proof variable frequency motor at 750W, 380VAC, fully compliant with safety regulations for potentially flammable or explosive atmospheres. Additionally, the 88 external magnetic assembly and connecting components ensure efficient and reliable power transmission.

 

Application Prospects

 

The CX-S-6.0-88 magnetic gear metering pump is not only ideal for potassium hydroxide solution transfer but also well-suited for dosing other acids, alkalis, organic solvents, and fine chemicals. It is a reliable choice for fine chemical manufacturing, pharmaceutical intermediate production, new energy electrolyte transfer, and other demanding applications.
