The chemical industry demands equipment that can safely handle aggressive, toxic, and often high-value fluids. Every transfer, circulation, and containment process must be reliable to maintain plant safety and efficiency. Leaks or mechanical failures are more than an inconvenience, they can create environmental hazards, production downtime, and significant financial losses. For these reasons, many chemical processors rely on chemical pumps from Dickow Pump Company, Inc. The company has built its reputation by providing technology that meets the high standards required for safe and efficient chemical handling.
Why Chemical Manufacturers Choose Dickow
Dickow Pump Company, Inc., backed by more than a century of engineering experience from Dickow Pumpen in Germany, has supported chemical plants across North America for decades. The company delivers solutions based on proven designs, modern manufacturing, and strict ISO-certified quality. From chemical process pump systems to advanced magnetic drive designs, Dickow provides products that help manufacturers meet safety regulations, maintain efficiency, and operate with confidence.
Chemical plants often handle a wide variety of liquids, from strong acids to caustics, solvents, and resins. Dickow’s chemical pumps are built with these challenges in mind, offering dependable operation where reliability cannot be compromised.
Sealless Chemical Pump Technology
One of Dickow’s major contributions to the chemical processing sector is the development of the sealless chemical pump. Using magnetic drive technology, these pumps eliminate the need for mechanical seals, the most common source of leaks in pumping systems. By removing this weak point, Dickow pumps provide truly leak-free performance—critical in facilities where even small releases of hazardous fluids are unacceptable.
The NMR with an oil bath bearing bracket or the NMB close coupled design, demonstrate their suitability for rigorous process environments. They are also valued for reducing maintenance needs, since there are no seals to replace or repair. The result is a safer, more reliable, and more cost-effective operation over the life of the pump. For more stringent applications, our PRM pump can be offered meeting the API 685 specification.
Mechanical Sealed Chemical Pumps
While sealless options are preferred in many applications, certain processes still call for mechanically sealed pumps. Dickow offers a full range of chemical pumps with high-performance sealing technology. These pumps deliver reliable service for standard duties where containment risks are minimal but efficiency and consistency are still required.
Specialized Chemical Process Pump Designs
The chemical sector is diverse, and so are the processes involved. Dickow’s product range reflects this diversity:
- Hot oil and thermal fluid circulation pumps support heating systems and reactors in chemical plants.
- Side-channel chemical pumps are well-suited for low-flow, high-head duties, such as solvent handling or distillation.
- Multistage centrifugal chemical pumps are used for large-scale transfer and recirculation tasks across plants.
- Vertical chemical process pumps handle fluid transfer from tanks, pits, or sumps with efficiency.
These variations give chemical producers the ability to choose the right configuration for each process requirement.
Safety and Monitoring in Chemical Operations
Safety is never an afterthought in chemical manufacturing, and Dickow has integrated advanced monitoring into its pump systems. Features such as Mag-Safe containment shell temperature sensors, power monitoring, and breach alarms add extra layers of protection. These tools allow operators to respond quickly to changing conditions, helping protect workers, equipment, and the surrounding environment.
Service and Support for Chemical Plants
The value of a pump extends beyond the equipment itself. Dickow Pump Company, Inc. provides chemical manufacturers with complete support services. This includes engineering guidance for selecting the correct chemical pump, assistance during installation and start-up, and ongoing maintenance programs. Replacement parts are stocked in the company’s U.S. facility, which helps reduce downtime and keep plants running smoothly.
