Kecol - Transfer pump

• Transferring viscous food products like jams, purees, or sauces within a processing line.
• Moving cosmetic creams, lotions, or gels in manufacturing facilities.
• Handling pharmaceutical pastes or ointments in a controlled environment.
• Dispensing industrial greases, oils, or sealants in manufacturing processes.
• Filling drums, IBCs, or other containers with semi-solid or high-viscosity materials.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, flow rates can typically range from 10 to 100 litres per minute, depending on the product viscosity and pump configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on 400V 3-phase electrical supply, though pneumatic or hydraulic drives are also found.

Typical pressure

Discharge pressures for transfer pumps can typically range from 5 to 20 bar, suitable for moving high-viscosity products.

Construction material

Process-grade transfer pumps are commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Viscosity handling

This type of pump is designed to handle products with viscosities typically up to 1,000,000 cP or higher.

Footprint

The footprint for a standalone transfer pump unit is typically compact, often around 0.5m x 0.5m, excluding any associated hoppers or trolleys.

• What type of products is a Kecol transfer pump suitable for?

  Kecol transfer pumps are generally designed for high-viscosity products, including pastes, creams, purees, and other semi-solid materials across various industries.

• Does 'good used condition' imply any specific guarantees?

• What maintenance is typically required for a transfer pump?

• Can this pump handle abrasive products?

• Is this unit suitable for CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems?

Food processing pumps are valued for reliability and durability in continuous operations. Buyers typically prioritise corrosion resistance, hygiene compliance, and consistent flow rates. When purchasing used units, inspecting seals, impellers and motor condition proves essential. Industry sentiment favours models with straightforward maintenance requirements and availability of spare parts. Stainless steel construction and gentle handling capabilities for delicate products are consistently sought features.
