Paint and Varnish
To pump paint and varnish, a pump generally needs to conform to the ATEX directive. The ATEX versions of the ALMATEC CHEMICOR line of metal pumps meet these requirements. For UV varnishes, there are E-SERIES pumps made of conductive plastic available. Due to the high pressures encountered, ALMATEC high pressure diaphragm pumps made of stainless steel (AH-S) are used in painting systems where there is only one pump as a central supply. The time required to clean the pump when changing colors is just as low as the amount of cleaning agent needed for cleaning.
