From Blackmer
Callahan Chemical, one of the top 25 chemical distributors in the U. S., recently redesigned its flagship facility in Walpole, MA, utilizing Blackmer GX Series sliding vane pumps. Since the redesign, the Callahan Chemical facility has been operating at full capacity. The pumps selected for the job were Blackmer is a leader in the design and manufacture of high-quality flow technologies including peristaltic hose, eccentric disc, and rotary vane positive displacement pumps, centrifugal pumps, screw compressors, air elimination systems, and sliding vane and reciprocating compressors for the transfer of liquid and gas products. Callahan is a distributor and repackager of volatile, highly flammable and combustible chemicals, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), ethyl acetate 99, isopropynol 99, toluene, mineral spirits (used to make lighter fluid), textile spirits, heptane, 142 solvent and hexane. As a result, Callahan needed highly reliable transfer pumps with high suction lift capabilities and explosion-proof motors. To meet their special needs, they selected Blackmer GX2.5B Series sliding vane pumps Products & Services
Chemical pumps are designed for applications requiring greater reliability and durability than conventional pumps.
