In the world of chemical processing, precision, durability, and safety are non-negotiable. Every component in your process—from storage tanks to agitators—must be engineered to handle aggressive materials, maintain chemical integrity, and perform reliably under demanding conditions.
At Kerr Pump & Supply, we understand the critical role industrial tanks and industrial mixers play in achieving efficient, consistent, and safe chemical processing. That’s why we partner with three of the industry’s most trusted names—ProQuip, Dynamix, and Amtrol—to deliver premium solutions tailored to your specific application.
Whether you are storing volatile chemicals, blending viscous materials, or maintaining precise mixing conditions for sensitive fluids, our product lines are designed to keep your operations running smoothly, day after day.
Why Industrial Tanks and Mixers Matter in Chemical Applications
Chemical processes often involve handling fluids that are corrosive, abrasive, temperature-sensitive, or highly viscous. This creates unique challenges:
-
Material Compatibility: Tanks and mixers must be constructed from materials that resist chemical attack, preventing contamination or equipment failure.
-
Precision Mixing: Many chemical reactions require consistent agitation to ensure uniformity and avoid separation.
-
Pressure & Temperature Control: Properly designed tanks and expansion systems help maintain safe conditions, avoiding dangerous pressure spikes or thermal stress.
-
Safety & Compliance: Equipment must meet strict regulatory standards to protect workers, products, and the environment.
By working with ProQuip, Dynamix, and Amtrol, Kerr Pump & Supply offers solutions that address these challenges head-on, delivering performance you can trust.
