High Viscosity Pumps
High Viscosity Pumps for Viscous Fluids & Thick Slurries
Applications involving the pumping of high viscosity fluids, for example viscous chemicals, adhesives, pastes and slurries, require specific types of pumps able to handle them. As the liquid passing through the pump internals is thick, certain technologies such as centrifugal pumps struggle due to frictional losses inside the pump making the flow rate rapidly decline.
We offer a range of viscous fluid pumps, with the solutions most suited pump high viscosity liquids being peristaltic pumps and progressive cavity pumps. The peristaltic design is a popular and versatile choice for viscous fluids, as the only part of the pump that comes into contact with the pumped liquid is the flexible inner tube, which is available in a range of materials to increase compatibility.
