3HP Molten Metal Pump

For the Transfer of Zinc and Other Molten Metals

Introducing the Original WEMPump: a powerful 3 H.P. Centrifugal Pump for Molten Zinc and other molten metals like lead, tin, aluminum and sulfur. Designed for quick and safe emptying of galvanizing settings, melting and holding furnaces, this pump ensures efficient transfer of molten metal to containers, molds, or auxiliary settings.

 

Built to withstand the harshest environments, our pump is simple and rugged, delivering reliable performance even in demanding conditions. The powerful air motor is designed to operate in hot industrial environments, eliminating costly delays from stalls or heat related lockups. By adjusting a simple valve in the airline, the operator can remotely throttle the pump speed to deliver metal at full flow or reduced rates for small container filling.

 

During emergencies or maintenance operations, a single operator can safely handle the pump, effectively managing pan failure during shutdown periods. With the ability to economically lower the zinc level at intervals, inspections of the pan can be conducted to detect failures before they occur, protecting brickwork and burners from damage caused by leaking zinc.

 

The pump can be conveniently hung from a crane or chain hoist, allowing for continuous filling of containers or molds by pivoting the discharge pipe. Ordinary 50-gallon oil drums make excellent containers, and no cleaning is required after use as the pump is self-draining.

We created the original WEM Pumps in 1950 to replace hand ladling molten solutions. We’ve maintained the simplicity and principles of our original pumps, but have adapted our designs and materials to meet the demands of modern industry.
