Brubin Pumps, which was taken over and placed under new management at the beginning of 2001, is the only manufacturer of magnetic drive sealless pumps in South Africa. With its range of pumps manufactured from a wide range of chemical-resistant alloys and plastics, Brubin is in a strong position to provide the chemical and allied industries with the only cost-effective alternative to pumps using dynamic seals.
Operating out of East Rand, Brubin Pumps has a fully equipped workshop and stores to provide customers with the ever-important after-sales service, spares and repair requirements.
Brubin Pumps is also the sole distributor for Caster Magnetic Drive pumps. The complement of both product ranges places them in a unique position to focus on applications where operators are finding it more and more difficult to safely pump corrosive, toxic, explosive and hazardous chemicals.
It is this focus that enables them to meet their customers' expectations through value added service and innovative solutions.
