Announcing the decision to distribute Slack & Parr gear pumps in the UK, AxFlow managing director Tony Peters said that AxFlow would be targeting fluid handling and metering problems in the Chemical, Petro-Chemical and Coatings Industries. “Slack & Parr is an internationally respected company and although much of its output is for the export market, we aim to reverse that trend by taking the share of the UK gear pump market that Slack & Parr deserves,” comments Tony Peters.
“Within the processing industries applications ranging from oils to paints, cosmetics to adhesives can all be accurately metered either using one of Slack & Parrs off the shelf industrial pumps or using a solution specifically designed for the application”, continues Tony Peters. “For these industry sectors, the choice of material is critical to ensuring accurate metering in corrosive and extreme environments. As well as using hardened tool steel and stainless steel for critical components, Slack & Parr has also found that Zirconia ceramic has been especially successful in the most severe operating conditions.”
