Caustic Transfer Pumps: Safe, Reliable Fluid Handling for Harsh Chemicals 2025
When working with aggressive chemicals like sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, or ammonium hydroxide, safety and equipment durability are non-negotiable. That’s where caustic transfer pumps come in—designed specifically to handle corrosive and high-pH fluids without damage to pump components or risk to operators.
At MultiTorque, we supply, service, and support a wide range of caustic transfer pumps for industries across Australia. Whether you’re in mining, food processing, manufacturing, or water treatment, our pumps are engineered to withstand the harshest substances—and keep working day after day.
What Are Caustic Transfer Pumps?
Caustic transfer pumps are designed to move highly alkaline (basic) fluids safely and efficiently. These chemicals are extremely corrosive and can degrade standard pump materials like cast iron, mild steel, or even certain plastics.
To combat this, caustic pumps are built using resistant materials like:
- Polypropylene
- PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride)
- PTFE (Teflon)
- Stainless steel
- Hastelloy (for extreme applications)
They often include mechanical seals or seal-less magnetic drive systems to prevent leaks, protect operators, and comply with strict safety regulations.
Where Are Caustic Transfer Pumps Used?
MultiTorque supplies caustic-resistant pumps for a variety of sectors, including:
- Water Treatment Plants: Transferring sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) for pH balancing and treatment processes.
- Mining Operations: Handling reagent chemicals in mineral processing.
- Food & Beverage Manufacturing: Cleaning systems using caustic CIP (clean-in-place) chemicals.
- Chemical Dosing & Blending: Accurate transfer of aggressive chemicals with minimal operator exposure.
- Industrial Cleaning: Circulating caustic detergents and degreasers.
If your operation involves high-pH fluids, you need a pump that can handle the job without corroding, leaking, or breaking down unexpectedly.

Choosing the Right Caustic Transfer Pump
Selecting the right pump involves more than just checking flow rate and power. Here are the key considerations:
- Chemical concentration & temperature
- Required flow rate (L/min) and head height
- Material compatibility with wetted parts
- Pump type (diaphragm, centrifugal, peristaltic, mag drive)
- Seal vs. seal-less requirements for leak prevention
