Wenesco's high-temperature pumps are used for transferring molten metal, salt, hot oil, and many other, flowing, non-viscous materials. Because these pumps are centrifugal, with bearings located out of the hot material, very little maintenance is required. They are available with electric or air motors.

SPECIAL PUMPS

This pump is used by a prominent battery manufacturer for pumping lead at 450C. The pump shaft is driven with an offset one-horsepower motor. The offset design is necessary to prevent the motor from overheating in an unusually high- temperature environment over the melting tank

This pump,18 inches high with 6-inch immersion, will deliver 1000 lbs solder per minute at 6 inch head. The 1/6-hp DC motor is controlled with a remote speed control. The control connects to 120 or 240 VAC
