\"How<\/a>
How to select a paint manufacturing pump<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When paint production facilities require pumping equipment to transfer paint there are a number of factors that should be considered. From understanding the abrasives in the paint to the configuration of your production floor here are some tips to keep in mind:<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. What is the consistency of the paint being pumped?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is one of the most important considerations when selecting the right pumping equipment. <\/p>\n

Many customers have experimented with several different pump options to no avail. Most paint transfer application involve moving a thicker slurry. In the first photo<\/a> you see here, we recommended that the customer go with a Mud Sucker ball valve style diaphragm pump designed for thicker grease type consistencies.  This style of pump is transfers thicker slurries like bentonite\/water mixtures. The Mud Sucker 2B-DD can also pump primer, abrasive paint, hot bituminous paint, latex  water soluble, non-abrasive, paint base, alkyd base, epoxy paint, acrylic paint, and more. The pump features a 2\u201d connection and a single suction and single recirculation point.<\/p>\n

2. Analyze Your Paint Production Process<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mud Sucker 2B-DD double diaphragm pump shown here is used to pump paint from a 1000 gallon holding tank to the production floor and then recirculated back to the tank.<\/p>\n

3. Consider the pump components for your process<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mud Sucker Diaphragm Pump is available with application specific components like Neoprene flappers, diaphragms and check balls that are generally resistant to solvents, select chemicals and oily abrasive applications.<\/p>\n

4. Consider your flow rate<\/strong><\/p>\n

Understanding your paint transfer process is the key to selecting the right pumping equipment. The Mud Sucker pump product line is available with a number of connection options ranging from 2\u201d-4\u201d. We typically recommend the heavy duty P Series Professional diaphragm pumps for process applications. These pumps can transfer up to 220 GPM of viscous fluids.
