Piston pump for high viscosity media
11 Jan 2016
A piston pump designed to transfer high viscosity creams, pastes and gels that do not flow easily is now available from Pump Engineering.
A specially-designed rig allows the CSF piston pump to be mounted in the centre of a follower plate, which fits into a drum and seals against the inside of the drum.
Two pneumatic cylinders force the plate onto the top of the product, as the pump empties the drum, the plate is drawn downwards keeping the inlet of the pump full of the product, Pump Engineering said.
A rubber seal on the follower plate wipes the side of the drum as it travels downwards, sealing it, meaning a minimal amount of product is wasted.
