High Pressure Peristaltic Pump
Peristaltic pumps are another excellent option for edible oil applications and benefit from a highly efficient pump system. They offer low maintenance costs and design for the operator to quickly and easily change the hose inside if required. They are also ideal for transfer, metering, and dosing applications capable of pumping low and high viscous products.
Oil pumps for industrial applications
A progressive cavity pump is a great option for pumping oils with the ability to pump super thin and thick fluids. Tapflo’s Wobble pump is an excellent low-cost solution that can pump a range of industrial based oil applications, including oil sludges, mineral oil, sludge and greases. The wobble pump from the nova rotas diamond series features a modular design that can reach up to 48 bar pressures.
Another range that is ideal for industrial oil applications is from a French manufacturing company called Jump. We proudly supply their pump systems at Tapflo UK including disc pumps and a sliding vane pump system.
