Michael Smith Engineers has launched two pump ranges from Finish Thompson that are expected to deliver reliability and durability in demanding chemical transfer applications.

The new UCR and UCP series—additions to FTI’s renowned ULTRAChem line—are ANSI-dimensional, magnetically driven lined-centrifugal pumps.

The UCR series is engineered for maximum corrosion resistance, making it ideal for extreme chemical processing environments. With a pure ETFE housing lining, barrier liner, and over-moulded magnets, the UCR pump is designed to withstand harsh chemicals. It is suited for applications such as plating, mining, chemical and metal manufacturing, and fume scrubbing.

The UCP series offers a cost-effective alternative while still delivering chemical resistance and hydraulic performance. Constructed from a combination of polypropylene and ETFE, the UCP provides a budget-friendly solution without compromising on the UltaChem line’s hallmark durability and efficiency.

“We are delighted to bring the UCR and UCP series to the UK market,” said Jason Downing, sales director at Michael Smith Engineers. “Our customers in the chemical industry already rely on the UltraChem range for its outstanding performance. These new additions offer even greater flexibility, reliability, and value—meeting the diverse and demanding needs of corrosive liquid transfer.”
