Since their inception in 1957 in Barcelona Spain, TECNIUM Thermoplastic Centrifugal Pumps have remained a solid force for innovation in the field of non-metallic pump construction. Tecnium engineered plastic pumps are some of the most reliable and high efficiency centrifugal pumps and pumping systems available for the pumping of extremely corrosive chemicals and chemical applications. Tecniums safe, reliable corrosion resistant material construction is ideal for highly corrosive and abrasive applications.
Currently, Tecnium has 5 product lines, a horizontal pump, a close coupled pump a vertical dry mount and wet pit pump and the newest line is a Tencium magnetic drive pump capable of running dry. The Tecnium pumps are available in 6 different plastic materials to suit most corrosive pump applications.
