Corrosion-Resistant Thermoplastic Pumps for Aggressive Chemical Applications
Cummins-Wagner proudly distributes Vanton Pump & Equipment Corp. products—engineered for corrosion resistance, chemical compatibility, and unmatched durability. Vanton pumps are fabricated entirely from engineered thermoplastics, making them the ideal choice for transferring aggressive, abrasive, and high-purity fluids in chemical processing, wastewater treatment, and other demanding industrial environments.
From vertical sump pumps to self-priming sealless designs, Vanton offers a complete line of pumps built to withstand the harshest chemicals—acids, alkalis, solvents, slurries, and more—without the risk of metal corrosion or process contamination. These pumps are widely trusted in industrial, pharmaceutical, biotech, electronics, food, and metal finishing applications where uptime, chemical compatibility, and safety are critical.
Backed by Cummins-Wagner’s expert application support and service teams, Vanton pumps provide long-term value and reliability in environments where metal pumps simply can’t perform. Whether you’re upgrading an existing pump system or designing a custom chemical skid, we help you integrate the most effective and maintenance-friendly solution.

History of Vanton Pump & Equipment Corp.
Founded in 1950, Vanton Pump & Equipment Corp. revolutionized fluid handling with the introduction of the world’s first all-plastic centrifugal pump, specifically engineered for chemical resistance. Headquartered in Hillside, New Jersey, the company quickly became an innovator in non-metallic pump technology, offering solutions where traditional pumps would corrode or leak.
One of Vanton’s early breakthroughs was the Flex-I-Liner® pump, a sealless, self-priming rotary design that limits fluid contact to a plastic body and a flexible liner, preventing cross-contamination and allowing safe transfer of corrosive and viscous fluids. This design, originally created for a heart-lung device, set a new industry standard for chemical compatibility and hygienic pumping.
Over the decades, Vanton expanded its product line to include vertical and horizontal centrifugal pumps, magnetic drive pumps, and engineered pump skids—all fabricated from solid polypropylene, PVC, CPVC, or PVDF. Today, Vanton remains a trusted leader in engineered thermoplastic pumping systems, offering the broadest line of plastic pumps in the industry.

- Vanton pumps are made from solid thermoplastics (like PVDF, PP, or CPVC), offering superior chemical resistance compared to metal pumps.
Can Vanton pumps handle high temperatures?
- Yes, depending on the thermoplastic material selected. PVDF pumps can typically handle temperatures up to 275°F.
Are Vanton pumps available in sealless designs?
- Yes, many models are available in mag-drive or Flex-I-Liner® sealless configurations for leak-free operation.
How do Vanton self-priming pumps work?
- These pumps use a specially designed volute to lift fluid from below grade without external priming systems.
Is there a horizontal ANSI pump option from Vanton?
- Yes, Vanton offers horizontal centrifugal pumps that meet ANSI B73.1M standards.
Can Vanton pumps be used in hazardous chemical applications?
- Absolutely—Vanton’s chemical compatibility and leak-free designs make them perfect for hazardous environments.
