How is the O-Pro® seal different from mechanical seals or packing?

Unlike traditional seals, the O-Pro® system eliminates complex components by using simple O-rings and lubrication, reducing maintenance, leakage, and wear.

What types of fluids can O-Pro® Seal Pumps handle?

These pumps are ideal for abrasive, viscous, and corrosive fluids, including slurries, chemicals, oils, food products, and wastewater.

Are O-Pro® Seal Pumps suitable for sanitary applications?

Yes, select models meet FDA and EHEDG standards, making them suitable for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing.

What industries commonly use O-Pro® Seal Pumps?

Industries include chemical processing, food and beverage, paint and coatings, wastewater treatment, and general manufacturing.

What are isocyanate pumps used for?

Isocyanate pumps are designed to safely transfer and meter moisture-sensitive chemicals such as MDI and TDI used in polyurethane production, coatings, adhesives, and sealants. They ensure precise flow control and protect materials from contamination.

Why do isocyanate pumps need special sealing systems?

Isocyanates react with moisture, which can cause solidification or contamination. That’s why isocyanate pumps use advanced sealing technologies to prevent air and moisture ingress, ensuring safe and consistent operation.

Which industries commonly use isocyanate pumps?

These pumps are widely used in industries such as polyurethane manufacturing, automotive, construction materials, chemical processing, and coatings, where controlled and leak-free chemical handling is essential.

Can isocyanate pumps handle other reactive chemicals?

Yes. While primarily built for isocyanates, they can also handle other reactive or viscous chemicals with similar handling requirements, provided the materials of construction are compatible with the fluid.

How do I choose the right isocyanate pump for my process?

Selecting the right pump depends on the chemical properties, viscosity, temperature, and required flow rate. Thomson Process experts can assess your process needs and recommend a compatible, safe, and efficient solution.
