Teflon (GFPTFE) centrifugal pumps — built for the toughest chemicals

PTFE lined pumps can typically operate at temperatures up to 200°C (392°F). For continuous operation, we recommend staying below 180°C for optimal liner life. The exact limit depends on the chemical being pumped and system pressure.

Standard Teflon lined centrifugal pumps are not self-priming and need to be primed before starting. However, we offer self-priming versions and PTFE diaphragm pumps that can handle suction lifts and self-prime effectively.

Liner life depends on operating temperature, chemical concentration, abrasive particles in the fluid, and thermal cycling. There is no fixed life: regular inspection of liner thickness and signs of swelling lets you predict replacement needs before failure.

Teflon pump prices vary with size, capacity, materials of construction, and configuration. Share your duty details — flow, head, chemical, temperature — and we will provide a quotation based on your specific requirements.
