MCK series industrial hose pumps are extremely robust, ideal for heavy duty operations on continuous or intermittent duty cycles. They are simple to use, easy to control, versatile and a reliable way to pump liquids. Their lack of valves, seals and glands makes them comparatively inexpensive to maintain. Pump design prevents backflow and syphoning without valves. Pump casings can be positioned to meet common piping configurations. The hose pumps are also non-pulsing, self-priming, and can run dry for short periods. The hose pump design makes the pump unique in its function. This results in a wide range of application areas where excessive demands to the pump system are required. MCK hose pumps are typically used to pump clean, sterile or aggressive fluids because cross contamination with exposed pump components cannot occur. Some common applications include pumping aggressive chemicals, high solids slurries and other materials where isolation of the product from the environment, and the environment from the product are critical.
