Munsch Chemie-Pumpen

What Munsch Chemie-Pumpen does

MUNSCH Chemie-Pumpen GmbH is a privately-held German manufacturer of non-metallic (plastic) centrifugal pumps for the process industries, founded in 1964 by Erich Munsch and led since 1993 by Stefan Munsch as Managing Director. The company designs and builds centrifugal pumps constructed from high-performance plastics (PP, PE-UHMW, PVDF, PFA, PTFE) for handling corrosive, abrasive, and hazardous fluids that would damage conventional metal pumps. The product portfolio spans horizontal pumps with mechanical seals (NPC+, NPC Mammut, NP series), horizontal magnetic-coupled pumps (ECM+, CM+), vertical cantilever pumps (TPC, TPC-M), vertical centrifugal pumps (TNP-KL), and close-coupled variants (CS-B, NP-B, CM-B, TNP), with capacities from 2 to 5,000 m³/h and motor ratings up to 1 MW. Proprietary technology includes the REA-F metal-free mechanical seal, MagPull and QuickFit easy-maintenance systems, vacuum-tight spacer can technology, and CFD-optimized 3D-curved impellers, supported by an R&D investment level reported at roughly twice the German industrial average. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ATEX (EU Directive 2014/34/EU) certifications and is an EcoVadis member.

Core offering

MUNSCH Chemie-Pumpen manufactures non-metallic (plastic) centrifugal pumps for handling corrosive, abrasive, and environmentally hazardous fluids in chemical processing, metal finishing, mineral processing, and general industrial applications. The product portfolio includes horizontal pumps with mechanical seals (NP, NPC+, NPC Mammut) and magnetic coupling (ECM+, CM+), vertical cantilever and centrifugal pumps (TPC, TPC-M, TNP-KL), and close-coupled variants, with wetted parts in PP, PE-UHMW, PVDF, and PFA. The company also supplies spare parts, accessories such as priming pots, and on-site repair and maintenance services.

Product overview

MUNSCH Chemie-Pumpen is a manufacturer of industrial plastic (non-metallic) centrifugal pumps serving the chemical, metal finishing, mineral processing, and general process industries. The product portfolio comprises three main categories: (1) Horizontal pumps with mechanical seal (NPC+, NPC Mammut, NP series) for demanding corrosive and abrasive applications with flow rates from 1200 to 5000 m3/h; (2) Horizontal pumps with magnetic coupling (ECM+, CM+ series) offering hermetic containment for hazardous fluids; (3) Vertical pumps including cantilever pumps (TPC-M, TPC) and vertical centrifugal pumps (TNP-KL) for applications requiring deeper setting depths. Close-coupled versions (CS-B, NP-B, CM-B, TNP) offer compact alternatives with smaller footprint. All products feature chemical-resistant plastic wetted materials (PP, PE-UHMW, PVDF, PFA, PTFE) and are supported by accessories including priming pots. The company operates from Ransbach-Baumbach, Germany and serves global markets through a network of representatives across 60+ countries.
