Today, Michael Smith Engineers Ltd, the UK’s leading pump specialist, announced the launch of two innovative pump ranges from Finish Thompson Inc. (FTI), a global leader in the corrosive chemical transfer industry.
The new UCR and UCP series, additions to FTI’s renowned ULTRAChem® line, are ANSI-dimensional, magnetically driven lined-centrifugal pumps specially designed to provide exceptional reliability and durability in the most demanding chemical transfer applications.
The UCR series boasts maximum corrosion resistance, making it the perfect choice for extreme chemical processing environments. With a pure ETFE housing lining, barrier liner, and over-moulded magnets, the UCR pump is specifically engineered to withstand harsh chemicals. It is particularly well-suited for use in plating, mining, chemical and metal manufacturing, and fume scrubbing applications.
The UCP series offers a cost-effective alternative while still delivering impressive chemical resistance and hydraulic performance. Constructed from a combination of polypropylene and ETFE, the UCP provides a budget-friendly solution without compromising on the durability and efficiency that are hallmarks of the ULTRAChem line.
“We are thrilled to introduce the UCR and UCP series to the UK market,” said Jason Downing, Sales Director at Michael Smith Engineers Ltd. “Our customers in the chemical industry already trust the ULTRAChem range for its outstanding performance. These new additions offer even greater flexibility, reliability, and value, meeting the diverse and demanding needs of corrosive liquid transfer.”
With decades of experience handling challenging liquids, from acids and solvents to slurries and flammable compounds, Michael Smith Engineers is a trusted partner for industries across the UK, providing reliable and expert pump solutions.
