The Right Transfer Pump for the Job

No leaks. No guesswork. From totes to day tanks, Liberty specs transfer pumps that run dry, handle solids, and stop vapor-lock — protecting uptime and budgets.

Run-Dry Safe, Self-Priming, Solids-Friendly

Wins on dirty/viscous/abrasive streams, tote transfers, intermittent duty, and anywhere air is available.

  • Self-priming to ~15–20 ft dry lift.
  • Run-dry & dead-head tolerant (no seal burn-out).
  • Solids to ¼–2″ depending on model.

Case • Tote → Day Tank

PVDF AODD with pulsation dampener + back-pressure: no nuisance trips, diaphragm kit at 12 months looked new — PM cycle extended to 24 months.

Maintenance delta

Diaphragm + check kits typically 30–70% cheaper than comparable mechanical seal service on centrifugal transfer.

Air cost control

Right-sized pump + regulator + cycle counter trims 15–25% air use vs. “wide-open” installs.

How James specs it
  • Wetted materials matched to chemistry (e.g., PVDF/PTFE for oxidizers).
  • Sized for 50–70% stroke rate — no red-lining diaphragms.
  • Flow smoothing: dampener + back-pressure on long runs.
  • Grounding/bonding & quick-connects for safe tote swaps.

Peristaltic Transfer

Vapor-Lock Proof, Reversible, Gentle on Fluids

Crushes off-gassing hypochlorite problems, protects shear-sensitive media, and makes changeovers fast.

  • Dry-run capable; valveless (no vapor-lock).
  • Stable accuracy ±1–2% in steady state.
  • Only tube contacts chem → quick, clean swaps.

Case • Hypo transfer fix

Off-gassing defeated checks on a small pump. Switched to peristaltic: <2% dosing error, zero vapor-lock, planned tube change every 6–9 months on 24/7 low-flow duty.

Changeover time

Standardized drum couplers & quick connects cut changeovers from 20–30 min → 3–5 min.

Tube-life ROI

Tubes are a predictable consumable. Operators prefer planned refreshes to unplanned seal failures — uptime stays high.

How James specs it
  • Tube elastomer matched to chem & temp (e.g., EPDM/Norprene for oxidizers; fluoroelastomer for acids).
  • Occlusion set for tube life vs. accuracy sweet spot.
  • Calibration column added for verified flow without cracking the line.

Every Transfer Package, Spec’d by James

Transfer mistakes are expensive. James pairs the right technology with the right accessories, verifies NPSH/air curves, and sizes for longevity — so changeouts are planned, not emergency calls.

  • Leak risk ↓ >80% moving from sealed units to sealless/diaphragm tech in typical chemical service.
  • Service cost ↓ 30–70% using diaphragm/check kits vs. mechanical seal rebuilds.
  • Operator time ↓ standardized couplers, quick connects, and clear calibration points.
