High-viscosity fluids transferred at
speed
Air-operated piston pumps are particularly effective for transferring thick, viscous liquids from tanks, drums and IBCs.
Transferring thick high-viscosity fluids such as purees, pastes, creams, syrups and gels in the food, brewing and pharmaceutical industries presents unique pumping problems CSF air-operated piston pumps are ideally suited to these types of applications as they are particularly effective for transferring thick, viscous liquids from tanks, drums and IBCs

Lightweight drum emptying pump under £100
Pump Engineering have developed a unique, lightweight (700 grams), injection moulded pump, which is one of the most cost-effective pumps available on the market today.
Globe control valve for cryogenic temperatures
An extended bonnet globe control valve which is designed to operate in applications where temperatures are in the cryogenic range (to minus 268degC), is available from Pump Engineering
Also, as they are available as quick-strip versions, they can be easily dismantled for simple and effective cleaning, without the need for tools.
CSF air-operated piston pumps are competitively priced and available immediately from stock through liquids handling specialist Pump Engineering.
They can be supplied as a long version for drum emptying where the piston is below the liquid level, an option which enables the pump to handle liquids with much higher viscosities.
Short versions are also available for bottom discharge vessels or for applications where wall-mounting is required.
The positive head and bottom-entry positioning of the pump combine to ensure an improved flowrate and increased efficiency.
The CSF pump range provides models which will deliver flow rates up to 100 litre/min and pressures up to 150bar.
CSF pumps are also fitted with a special bag-in drum inlet, a feature which prevents the plastic drum lining used in some containers, from being drawn into the pump.
For nonflowable creams, pastes, gels and waxes, the pumps can be fitted with a follower plate and single or two post ram, which will empty almost any parallel sided vessel.
Materials of construction are AISI 304 or 316 polished stainless steel, with a choice of PTFE or nitrile seals.
