The challenges in the
chemical and process industries

In the chemical industry, precision is not just a question of efficiency—it determines absolute process reliability, quality, and cost-effectiveness.
However, conventional pump technologies quickly reach their limits, especially when dealing with aggressive, corrosive, or abrasive media, high temperatures, or extreme viscosities.
Problems such as pulsating delivery, inaccurate dosing quantities, leaks, increased maintenance requirements, or inadequate sealing concepts often arise. In demanding applications, such as the feeding of reactive chemicals or the pumping of temperature-sensitive reaction media, a conventional pump is often not reliable enough to keep the process stable.

Gear pumps from Mahr Metering Systems are specially designed for the extreme demands of the chemical and process industries and offer a solution based on decades of experience in high-pressure, high-temperature, and high-viscosity applications. The design, material selection, and coating technologies have been continuously refined to ensure that the pumps deliver precise, low-pulsation delivery and maximum process reliability—even with particularly difficult media and conditions.

Our solution: Mahr Chemical Pumps

Thanks to a wide range of special materials and coatings, application-specific bearing materials, and proven sealing systems, the pumps are also suitable for toxic, corrosive, or abrasive liquids. Their modular design allows them to be perfectly adapted to a wide variety of process environments.
MarChem gear pumps thus offer a reliable, precise, and economical solution for demanding chemical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Technical answers to frequently asked questions about metering solutions for the chemical industry

They offer high metering accuracy, low-pulsation delivery, chemical resistance of materials, and high process stability. This makes them ideal for applications involving aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, pressure fluctuations, and demanding metering requirements.

Gear metering pumps are suitable for a wide range of chemical media, including acids, alkalis, solvents, polymers, resins, additives, and highly viscous liquids. Thanks to the use of special materials, they are also suitable for many other corrosive and abrasive substances.

Low-pulsation dosing means uniform, continuous pumping without pressure fluctuations. This is particularly important for chemical processes, as it keeps mixing ratios stable, makes reaction processes controllable, and increases production quality and process reliability.

Compared to diaphragm or hose pumps, gear metering pumps offer higher metering accuracy, pulsation-free delivery, better controllability, higher process stability, and a longer service life in chemically demanding applications.
