Pneumatic Pumps

01/19/2010 9:29 PM

Is it true that SUPAVAC doesn't have a wearing parts? We're using the versa-matic pump before but we had to stop because it can easily get worn as we are using it as a sample pump for the slurry.. I just want to be sure on purchasing SUPAVAC pump because I had once failed after i ordered versa pump with a metallic casing..
