Innovation and Safety: CDR Pompe Takes Center Stage at Expoquimia 2026 with Partner Cramix

Participation in Expoquimia 2026 was a valuable moment for CDR Pompe to consolidate its position as a benchmark in the production of pumps for the treatment of corrosive and hazardous fluids in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. Through coordinated presence with Cramix, a key distributor for the Iberian market, our company presented a portfolio of technical solutions to mechanical seal what magnetic drive. We were thus able to illustrate, through direct exposure of the machines to the public present, how the correct selection of materials and the configuration of the sealing system allow for a significant reduction in the risks of releasing substances into the environment during fluid handling.

The presence at the fair guaranteed CDR Pump up a direct contact with plant managers who seek mechanical reliability and continuity of service, while the partnership with Cramix ensures comprehensive handling of requests, from the initial sizing phase to on-site post-sales support.

The trade show presence was extremely positive. We thank everyone who visited us and participated in the experience. Expoquimia 2026

Expoquimia 2026: The heart of the chemical industry in Barcelona

Held at the Fira Barcelona - Gran Via exhibition center from June 2 to 5, 2026, Expoquimia 2026 It remains one of the leading events for the chemical industry in Southern Europe. With over fifty years of experience, Expoquimia brings together scientific research, process innovation, and large-scale production, thereby setting the highest standards in the industry.

The event structure is organized to respond to fundamental pillars:

• Decarbonization and transition: specific focus on technologies capable of reducing the carbon footprint of pumping processes, through the optimization of hydraulic efficiencies;
• Chemical processes and biotechnology: areas where fluid control is critical for final product purity and reaction stability;
• Treatment plant management sector requiring high corrosion-resistant pumps, capable of operating with wastewater containing variable concentrations of aggressive chemicals.

Inside the pavilions, the exhibition area was divided into highly specialized sectors, from basic chemical processes to biotechnology, through to solutions for surface treatment and advanced fluid management. For CDR Pompe, the opportunity to exhibit at this event allowed us to put our most cutting-edge pumping solutions to a direct comparison with the sustainability parameters required by modern plants.

The trade fair, with all its professionals, also provided fundamental data for refining internal components and selecting polymer materials (such as PP, PVDF, and PFA). The 2026 edition, with a 14,000 m² exhibition area, 400 exhibitors, and over 15,000 visitors, reaffirmed Expoquimia's central role in facilitating technology transfer to the market.

Cramix: A Leading Partner in the Technical Distribution of CDR Pompe

Cramix has been operating for over 45 years in the specialized distribution of equipment for the handling, agitation, and filtration of industrial fluids. Headquartered in Derio (Biscay) With a network of strategically located delegations in Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Castellón, and Seville, as well as the Portuguese market, the company is positioned as a leading logistics and engineering hub.

The company is ISO-9001:2015 certified, a qualification that attests to adherence to strict quality standards at every stage of the service, from pre-sales consulting to the management of original spare parts. The distributor's strength lies in its ability to combine a large physical stock of machines, including centrifugal pumps by CDR Pompe, with technical support onsite. Cramix technicians not only supply products but also perform detailed analyses of the specific working conditions of each plant, verifying parameters such as flow rate, total head, and chemical compatibility, to ensure that the installed pumping unit is correctly sized according to the safety data sheets of the handled products.

Their business includes providing a vast catalog that includes industrial mixers, industrial filters with automatic cleaning, and dosing systems, guaranteeing companies a single expert contact for the entire fluid management architecture. The partnership with CDR Pompe is strengthened by the technical expertise that the Cramix team brings to the specific maintenance of magnetic drive systems, ensuring end customers maximum availability and constant support to drastically reduce machine downtime in critical and dangerous production environments.

Pumping Technologies and Materials: The CDR Pompe Proposal

The range distributed by Cramix includes the excellent solutions of CDR Pompe, both mechanical seal and magnetic drive

• Series UTN: designed to ISO 2858 standard, they are lined magnetic drive pumps in plastic and fluoroplastic material, skid-mounted (UTN-L) monoblock (UTN-BL). Magnetic drive eliminates the need for mechanical seals, making the pump much safer against external fluid leakage. The materials, including PFA, PVDF, and PP, guarantee total resistance to strong acids and bases. This type of pump, often used for handling chemical and pharmaceutical fluids, is also recommended for 24/7 applications and temperatures up to +130°;
• Series ETN EVO: another magnetic drive pump, single-stage, and used for handling chemically aggressive fluids. Its construction is of the lined: The external ductile iron body ensures mechanical robustness and ease of installation on the system, while the internal lining is made of high-strength chemical plastic materials, such as ETFE or PP. The ETN EVO range can reach temperatures up to +120°.
• Series CCL and UCL: The CCL is a mechanically sealed pump characterized by a lined casing of the wetted parts. in PP (Polypropylene). The UCL, on the other hand, is a single-stage mechanical seal pump, available in Polypropylene, PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) and PFA (perfluoroalkoxy), with execution on a base (UCL) monoblock (UCL-B). Ideal for pumping corrosive, aggressive, and hazardous liquids (slightly contaminated, clean, low viscosity) for the chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries.

Each single pump of CDR Pompe it is subjected to hydraulic and mechanical testing, ensuring that the total head and flow rate performance provided in the technical bulletins correspond to its actual behavior in the system.

Commercial relations and technological development

For CDR Pompe, participating in international events such as Expoquimia is an important opportunity to engage with plant manufacturers, production managers, designers, and professionals in the chemical and process industries. Direct dialogue with those who use pumping technologies daily allows for the collection of concrete needs, analysis of new applications, and a deeper understanding of the critical issues characterizing the handling of corrosive, dangerous, or highly complex fluids.

This listening and collaboration activity translates into continuous technical development towards the safety and efficiency of pumping systems. The support of qualified partners like Cramix plays a fundamental role, promoting widespread presence in the territory and guaranteeing customers specialized assistance in choosing the solution best suited to their specific operating conditions.

Companies that rely on CDR Pompe can count on technologies designed to ensure business continuity and reduce maintenance interventions unprogrammed and contribute to the optimization of the production cycle. At the same time, comparison with the international market allows the company to constantly monitor the evolution of industrial needs, with particular attention to energy efficiency, plant safety, and the sustainability of production processes.
