Arvex/s Submersible Chemical Resistant Water Pumps - 316 Grade Stainless Steel
Arvex 150/S – 316 Stainless Steel Submersible Pumps
The Arvex S submersible chemical pump is a robust, high‑performance pump designed for demanding chemical and industrial applications. Built for continuous or heavy‑duty use, it is well suited to larger volumes, harsher liquids and more demanding operating environments.
Designed for seawater, saltwater, light chemicals, and final effluent, they offer robust performance in demanding industrial environments. The Arvex 150/S manages solids up to 50 mm thanks to its wide-casing design and features biodegradable lubrication oil for environmental protection.
Solids Handling and Pump Applications
Arvex 150/S pumps are built from 316-grade (1.4401) pressed stainless steel, offering significantly enhanced chemical and corrosion resistance compared with standard 304 stainless steel. They are suitable for industry, light chemicals, seawater, saltwater, and final effluent applications.
- Arvex 150/S handles soft solids up to 50 mm, supported by a wide casing ideal for fibrous waste
Both pumps are appropriate where a higher level of durability, corrosion resistance, and materials quality is required. They are not recommended for ponds or water features.
These models feature upgraded sealing components, including silicon carbide mechanical seals, providing improved resistance to aggressive or lightly corrosive liquids.
Construction and Build Quality
The Arvex S pump is engineered with a reinforced chemical‑resistant housing designed to withstand prolonged exposure to aggressive liquids. Its robust internal components support extended operation, making it suitable for heavier‑duty and continuous‑use scenarios. The pump is fully submersible and built for long‑term industrial reliability.
