GoatThroat Pumps for Furniture Manufacturing

GoatThroat® Pumps provide countless enterprises with a safer, easier method for transferring chemicals. That includes small, medium-sized, and large businesses in the furniture industry. Why should you consider GoatThroat when sourcing a furniture industry chemical pump? While there’s no substitute for planned maintenance programs that seek out, identify, and mitigate causes of spills and contamination, one thing is for sure: manual drum-emptying practices frequently generate spills that present management with OSHA-related work safety issues or problems with EPA regulations. Plant management is never happy with the loss of costly, usable chemicals, particularly when a low-cost, preventive approach exists. GoatThroat designs a chemical transfer pump that not only meets the requirements set by OSHA and the EPA, but also integrates into your annual budget by cutting short-term costs associated with a reduction in wasted product and long-term costs, associated with lawsuits, claims, and citations by regulating agencies.

Find the right Pump

Why should you consider GoatThroat when sourcing a furniture industry chemical pump?

Producing high-quality furniture means working with timber, fabric, cushion, metals, and other sturdy materials that require processing treatments. The machines used to shape and process the materials into a final product also need chemical maintenance. Frequently, the handling of these chemicals takes caution and must follow OSHA and EPA requirements. GoatThroat provides quality products for use as furniture industry chemical pumps. With one of our formaldehyde pumps, your factory can handle chemicals more efficiently and safer from improper chemical exposure and harmful emissions.

Wood stains, varnishes, spray treatments, and other finishing products aren’t as harmful as the more corrosive chemicals used to keep heavy machinery in working order, but are still flammable and emit toxic fumes. Utilizing personal protection equipment, unwanted exposure to these chemicals can be limited. With GoatThroat quality pumps, potential accidents, spills, and leaks are greatly reduced. The added chemical safety provided by our closed system pumps makes workplace safety even easier. The manual design of the pumps even removes the concern of sparks igniting stored chemicals.

The improved ability to fully drain chemical containers over gravity-powered pump solutions will reduce chemical waste and increase your chemical reserves’ effective output. With the extra savings in chemical cost, reduced cost of chemical-related workplace accidents, and by cutting chemical waste disposal, your manufacturing facility will benefit in both the short term and long term.

Our pumps are designed with safety and efficiency at the forefront.

GoatThroat’s chemical-resistant pumps are perfect to use for furniture manufacturers’ industry-grade chemical applications. Handling large amounts of concentrated hazardous materials like acetone, formaldehyde, or chemical solvents becomes a simple and safe process with our reliable pump designs. Our pumps can make handling every chemical in use in your facility a safer and more efficient process.

Using our products takes minimal training to master. This allows every factory worker who needs access to chemical use the ability to use reserves more efficiently. In return, chemical reserves will last longer as every drop is utilized. Product finishing solvent used to remove leftover processing chemical residue, flashing, and foreign debris will last longer as well.


Chemical Drum Transfer

You may be dealing with the constant threat of dangerous, costly, and time-consuming spills if you currently rely on the tip-and-pour method to manually extract liquids from containers at your facility. The reality is that human error and gravity both conspire to make this a very risky and inefficient method for handling liquids. There is a better way to complete a barrel pump transfer from a larger drum to a smaller drum. GoatThroat pumps create a consistent, controlled pour that is activated with a single motion. These pumps do not rely on gravity to dispense liquids. What’s more, they are designed to eliminate contamination, leakage, and spills.

The easy-to-use nature of our pumps allows everyone to easily perform best practices following OSHA and EPA compliance requirements. Easier working methods allow your workforce to reduce unnecessary energy expenditure which translates to a greater focus on the quality of production. It also helps to contribute to a happier and healthier workplace environment. The higher the morale of your team, the more productive they will be.

It’s an easy choice to allow GoatThroat pumps to provide your furniture manufacturing facility with the hand drum chemical transfer pumps and other pump solutions.

Chemical Dispensing Woes Cured at North Carolina Furniture Plant

New pumps allow resin casting company to substantially reduce acetone spills and avoid EPA fines. Companies that use aggressive chemicals often purchase those chemicals in 55-gallon drums, and the majority of spills happen when getting the chemicals out of the drums. Workers often manually lift and tip the drum or use a fork truck to pour the contents into another container, a cleaning tank, or a process vessel. At Carolina Casting Inc., High Point, N.C., drums of acetone were stored upright to avoid leakage. To dispense the solvent, the 350-lb. drums were moved to another location, placed on a cradle, attached to bonding and grounding wires, and tilted to permit dispensing through hand control of a faucet. After dispensing, they were returned to the storage area. The process was slow, labor-intensive and subject to spills, according to Dan Stiles, a plant engineer. The company tried using rotary hand-crank pumps with...
