Pump chambers, rear housings, covers and impellers are all precision castings to ensure that pump walls are smooth. This avoids crevices which can lead to product contamination.
Precision castings also reduce flow resistance to a minimum. This improves their hydraulic efficiencies to a level unmatched in pumps of this size.

Generous clearances and the overhung shaft design of the single-stage pumps enable them to handle corrosive liquids that contain low percentages of solids.

And their mechanical rotary seals make these pumps suitable for extensive applications with acids, alkalis, and solvents.

MOTORS
The standard motors for Eastern Centrichem pumps can be either single or three phase, 115/230 or 230/460 volt, 60 Hertz, TEFC motors. But we can furnish motors with other electrical characteristics, or enclosures, as needed.

For general purpose applications or with excessive amounts of dust, dirt, or similar foreign materials that might harm the motor, we’ll provide totally enclosed motors.

For hazardous applications involving flammable liquids or vapors we recommend explosion proof motors (approved by Underwriters Laboratories for Class 1 or 2 hazardous locations) equipped with explosion proof junction boxes. Continuous duty motors come standard on our industrial model pumps.

Air motors are also available.

MATERIALS
All models are available in 316 stainless steel and some in Alloy C. These materials are suitable for a wide variety of acid and alkali solutions. Please consult our Chemical Resistance Chart for proper selection of metallurgy and shaft seal combinations.

OPERATING LIMITS
Eastern's model D&J pumps are rated at temperatures up to 250oF, models C&H can go to 450oF, and viscosities up to 100 centipoises.
