Speciality Chemicals Production

KSB pumps handle demanding speciality chemicals safely – for more efficient and profitable batch processes.

Many industries depend on high-quality speciality chemicals, made to order. Our flexible solutions support smooth, short cycles, so you can focus on safety and profitability.

Become even more flexible with reliable pump solutions

Batch processing of performance chemicals requires a tremendous degree of flexibility. Whether your custom manufacturing plant specialises in elastomers, industrial gases, or agrochemicals, your operating cycles are always short and intense, and must run without a hitch. What’s more, you need to keep quality high while protecting employees and the environment. That’s a lot to manage, right? Don’t worry: We’ve developed our products and services for more peace of mind.

High adaptability for high quality – batch after batch

For custom manufacturing plants producing high-value speciality chemicals, flexible and dependable fluid handling ensures profitability. Plants need reliable pumping equipment that will support a wide variety of workflows. For these reasons, KSB’s world-class products are the perfect fit for performance chemical processes.

Have a look, find your match: Our extensive portfolio for speciality chemical manufacturing includes corrosion-resistant, standardised process pumps, seal-less pumps, high-pressure pumps, and much more.

  • A clear leader, our MegaCPK is the top standardised chemical pump in its class. Optimised hydraulic components set new standards in energy efficiency, while low NPSH ensures smooth and quiet operation.
  • The Magnochem magnetic drive pump series, available in many different variants, also meets your most stringent requirements.
  • The CPKN is ideal for pumping aggressive organic and inorganic fluids in chemical process engineering.
  • And the Estigia vertical immersion pump is available in an ATEX-compliant version.

Reliably handling everything from hot acids to solids-laden lyes, KSB pumps are your trustworthy partners for batch chemical production.

How KSB supports speciality chemical production

We understand the extreme time pressures you face. KSB’s advanced fluid-handling technologies ensure that aggressive, corrosive and explosive fluids are safely contained and transported. Our expertly engineered chemical pumps offer trouble-free, efficient operation along with low life cycle costs. 

But we deliver more than robust, reliable products – we also support you in developing custom processes. Take advantage of our application know-how!

Beyond that, we offer specialist services: from installation and commissioning, to inspection and maintenance. And if any repairs are needed, we come to you.

Why do effect chemical producers keep returning to KSB? For two good reasons: They benefit from our deep knowledge and our broad range of products for batch manufacturing in the chemical industry.
