Iwaki SP22-10 Bellows Pump 230V
Reliable chemical handling depends on a pump that won't fail when it matters most, and that's exactly where the Iwaki SP22-10 earns its reputation. Built around a shaft-seal-free bellows design, this 230V pump moves aggressive liquids without the leak points found in traditional seal-driven pumps, making it a trusted choice across industrial plants, laboratories, water treatment facilities, and specialty processing lines.
What sets this pump apart is its versatility. While bellows pumps are often associated with marine or aquarium-adjacent uses, the SP22-10 is just as suited to plating baths, photographic processing, medical equipment, and general industrial dosing tasks. Its self-priming capability and dry-run tolerance mean operators spend less time troubleshooting and more time running their process smoothly.
Durability is baked into the core of the pump. The bellows itself is molded as a single, uninterrupted body designed to withstand millions of expansion and contraction cycles, paired with a rugged drive mechanism that keeps performance consistent over years of continuous or intermittent operation. For teams that need dependable, low-maintenance chemical transfer, the Iwaki SP22-10 is a proven workhorse.
