Minichem PTFE
The Minichem PTFE Diaphragm Pump is able to transfer aggressive chemicals and other hazardous materials at low 50 litre and 100 litre flow rates through “½ and 1″ connections respectively, the absence of any housing and separate manifolds mean that this pump has no manifold seals and therefore no obvious leak paths.
The Minchem is a totally new and unique air-operated double diaphragm pump which is machined from one solid block of PTFE, removing the need for separate manifolds and steel casing or ‘box’.
One of the great benefits of this ‘ONE-BLOCK’ approach is that it enhances still further the ease of maintenance benefit which Flotronic’s ‘ONE-NUT’ design so effectively pioneered. Minichem maintenance need only focus on ‘ONE-NUT’ disassembly … and on the ball valves only when necessary.

Technical Data
- Engineered Polymer Composite Construction offers cost-effective corrosion-resistance, is lightweight, non-galling, non-sparking, and non-conductive.
- Unitized Case with Integrally Molded Flanges at the suction and discharge nozzles, fully gusseted for structural soundness.
- Externally Adjustable, Semi-Open Impeller provides consistently high efficiencies and minimizes maintenance.
- Shaft/Bearing System operates below the first critical speed for less shaft whip and longer bearing life.
- Bearings can be lubricated by external flush or self-lubricated by the pump fluid.
- Single-Piece Column is lightweight, filament-wound, reinforced fiberglass composite for strength and rigidity.
