20 يونيو Handling Hydrochloric Acid
At Pompe Cucchi, we know that real challenges call for real engineering.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is one of the most essential—and aggressive—chemicals used across the industrial world. From steel pickling and catalyst activation to water treatment and oil & gas recovery, HCl plays a leading role in critical processes.
But when you’re dealing with high concentrations (>30%), fumes, corrosion, and volatility quickly turn this essential asset into a serious operational risk. That’s where we come in.
Gear Pumps Designed to Thrive Under Pressure
Pompe Cucchi designs and manufactures external gear pumps that perform where others fail: in highly corrosive, low-lubricity, and chemically aggressive environments.
Whether it’s metering, transferring, or recirculating HCl and chlorinated compounds, our pumps deliver accuracy, durability, and safety every step of the way.
