GoatThroat Pumps for the Electronics Manufacturing Industry

Choosing the proper drum pumps for electronics manufacturing is an important task for anyone who is in charge of designing or managing a working environment. The fact of the matter is that preventing injuries and exposure to hazardous chemicals is a serious task that requires a serious pump. GoatThroat® design pumps that are suitable for anyone looking for drum pumps that can be used in a manufacturing environment. This is a leading product to know about when searching for a chemical transfer pump that is approved for safe contact with a wide variety of liquids such as acids, caustics, and other corrosives. This is also a choice that should be considered when sourcing a barrel pump for solvents that can be used in an electronics manufacturing environment. A GoatThroat pump can help to reduce spills and create an environment that meets compliance requirements. The specific plastic that is used in these pumps makes them capable of being used with everything from food-grade materials to flammable liquids.

Find the right Pump

When selecting the proper drum pumps for manufacturing electronics and electronic components, chemical material safety data is tantamount. Adhering to the material safety guides for industrial chemicals is essential in maintaining solid quality production. It is also beneficial in preventing possible injuries and exposure to hazardous chemicals that can cause severe immediate and long-term health effects. Handling such powerful materials requires a serious, reliable pump. If you are managing equipment acquisitions for an electronics or electronic component manufacturing company, GoatThroat can supply you with the drum pumps needed to properly and safely handle, transfer, and disperse dangerous industrial chemicals.

Safe Chemical Transfer

Electronics manufacturers are likely to work with hazardous chemicals to treat silicon boards and other internal components. There are thousands of possible chemical treatments. These are some of the common chemicals used during electronic component production along with possible harmful health effects of exposure:

  • Acetone;  Can irritate your nose, throat, lungs, and eyes. It can also cause headaches, dizziness, confusion, a faster pulse, nausea, vomiting, effects on the blood, passing out and possible coma, and a shorter menstrual cycle in women.
  • Alcohol; Can lead to the development of chronic diseases and other serious problems including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, and digestive problems. Cancer of the breast, mouth, throat, esophagus, voice box, liver, colon, and rectum.
  • Benzene; Can cause damage to bone marrow, anemia, immune system effects, leukemia.
  • Cadmium; Can cause damage to the lungs, renal dysfunction, bone defects, hypertension, or prostate cancer.
  • Hydrochloric Acid; Can cause severe chemical burn damage to the eye and skin, conjunctivitis, dermatitis, or respiratory irritation.
  • Methyl Chloroform; Can cause headaches, central nervous system depression, poor equilibrium, or cardiac arrhythmia.
  • Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK); Can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, nausea, blurred vision, and may cause you to pass out. Repeated high exposure can damage the nervous system and may affect the brain.
  • Toluene; Can cause weakness, confusion, memory loss, nausea, damage to the brain, speech, vision, and hearing, or loss of muscle control.
  • Trichloroethylene; Can cause dizziness, drowsiness, speech and hearing impairment, kidney disease, blood disorders, strokes, or diabetes.

These chemicals among many others are effective for their respective tasks but dangerous for the health of factory workers. Even the fumes that emit from them are toxic. Personal protection equipment goes a long way in ensuring the health of workers handling such materials. With GoatThroat pumps, your factory can take employee safety to the next level by further limiting possible chemical exposures. Our pumps are a go-to product for industry professionals acquiring chemical transfer pumps. They are approved for safe contact with a wide variety of liquids such as acids, caustics, and other corrosives like the chemicals listed above. A GoatThroat pump can help to reduce spills and create an environment that meets OSHA and EPA compliance requirements. GoatThroat is also an excellent choice when sourcing a barrel pump for solvents that can be used in an electronics manufacturing environment.

GoatThroat chemical transfer pumps bring reliability and ease of use to an electronics manufacturing environment. They can be used with a variety of flammable liquids. What’s more, they meet both NFPA 77 and NFPA 30 requirements. Our pumps can play an integral role in preventing spills and reducing hazards that can lead to costly and time-consuming injuries and will mitigate worker compensation claims by preventing worker exposure to hazardous chemicals and by eliminating repetitive motion and other injuries.

The chemical-resistant nature of GoatThroat’s products is a perfect match for use as Electronics Manufacturing pumps. The specific plastic that is used in these pumps makes them capable of being used with everything from food-grade materials to flammable liquids. We have worked to create a chemical compatibility guide with over 2000 different industry-grade chemicals. Our product repertoire includes existing solutions for the most common chemicals used in the manufacturing process. Search through our chemical guide to find the chemical pump for your needs. If you are working with a chemical that is not on the guide, contact an expert from GoatThroat to get help creating a solution for your unique purposes.

Electronic Manufacturing Applications

  • Silicon board treatment
  • Photoelectrochemical etching
  • Chemical-mechanical polishing of silicon wafers
  • Increase conductivity of semiconductor material
  • Electroplated soldering
  • Component washing/cleaning
  • Material thinner and stripper
  • Component adhesion
  • Solder treatment and cleaning
  • Protective coat layering

Numerous manufacturing processes require the frequent use of hazardous chemicals. As smaller and smaller components take the forefront, chemical treatments take the forefront in small component production. From adhesion to increased semiconductor functionality, your factory requires handling, transferring, and applying techniques for hazardous yet helpful chemical materials. GoatThroat pumps are created to make the acquisition of safe and effective chemical pumps easy.

GoatThroat pumps are durable, reliable, and ready to take care of your chemical needs for electronics manufacturing applications. Our pumps are ready to work in smaller environments that use 2.5-gallon drums to large applications that use 55-gallon drums to store and transfer chemical reserves. We have the pumps you need to create the perfect solution.

The High Cost of Exposing Workers to Chemicals at Point of Use

Every day industrial workers transfer potentially hazardous chemicals, such as solvents, acetones, lubricants, cleansers, and acids, from large drums into smaller containers, or into machinery. This transfer of chemicals at the point of use, however, can have serious consequences when manual ?tip-and-pour? techniques or poorly designed pumps are used. Whether the chemicals are toxic, corrosive, reactive, flammable, emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), or are even potentially explosive, the danger of accidental contact, even for short periods, can pose a severe hazard to workers. In addition to the potential for injury, there can also be serious financial ramifications for the facility involved. The risks include cost to treat injuries or perform cleanup, as well as workers? compensation claims, potential liability, OSHA fines, loss of expensive chemicals and even facility/production shutdown. ?It can be catastrophic to a company if toxic or highly flammable material is accidentally released at the point of use,?...
