When transferring potassium hydroxide (KOH) aqueous solution, two challenges always come first: corrosion resistance and leak prevention. A standard centrifugal pump with mechanical seals often fails in such conditions — seals degrade, leaks happen, and safety becomes a real concern.
That’s why more engineers are turning to magnetic drive gear pumps for alkaline chemical dosing. One model that stands out is the CX-S-6.0-88 from a trusted manufacturer — but before diving into the pump itself, let’s look at what the application demands.
Medium: KOH water solution
Flow rate needed: 1 – 10 L/min
Operating pressure: 0.5 MPa
Fluid temperature: 45°C
Power supply: 380VAC, 50/60Hz
Motor requirement: Class II explosion-proof + variable frequency
These parameters are typical for chemical dosing systems, pilot plants, and small-scale alkaline processing lines. The pump must be accurate, chemically compatible, and safe for potentially hazardous environments.

The CX-S-6.0-88 is a magnetic drive gear metering pump specifically suited for this duty. Its design eliminates dynamic seals, directly addressing the leak issue. Let’s break down why it works.
Gear: PEEK — excellent resistance to strong alkalis like KOH, even at 45°C.
Pump body: SS316 — reliable against caustic solutions and easy to maintain.
With 6.0 mL per revolution, the pump delivers consistent, pulse-free flow. Combined with a variable frequency motor, the flow can be smoothly adjusted across the 1–10 L/min range without losing accuracy.
Magnetic coupling transfers torque from the motor to the gear rotor through a containment shell. There is no dynamic seal, which means zero leakage along the shaft — a critical advantage for KOH service.
The included Class II explosion-proof variable frequency motor (750W, 2900 RPM, 380VAC) makes the pump suitable for environments with combustible dust or gases.
