Product Introduction

The WFB Automatic Self-Priming Pump is a high-performance, fully automatic pump engineered for industrial, chemical, municipal, and process fluid applications. Combining self-priming technology with automatic priming mechanisms, this pump provides uninterrupted, reliable operation even in challenging suction conditions. It is particularly suited for hazardous, corrosive, viscous, or abrasive liquids, ensuring efficient fluid transfer without manual intervention.

The WFB pump incorporates advanced hydraulic design with robust materials of construction, including stainless steel, corrosion-resistant alloys, and fluoropolymer linings. Its automatic priming feature eliminates the need for auxiliary priming devices, making it ideal for continuous operations in chemical plants, wastewater treatment, industrial fluid transfer, and municipal water systems.

This pump is widely used in chemical processing, food and beverage industries, pharmaceutical production, water and wastewater treatment, and industrial fluid circulation. Optional features include VFD (variable frequency drive) compatibility, PLC/SCADA integration, thermal sensors, and automation-ready configurations, enhancing precision, safety, and operational efficiency.
