Kecol - Transfer Pump

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring viscous food products such as pastes, purees, and sauces.
• Moving ingredients between processing stages, storage tanks, and filling lines.
• Handling delicate food items where shear-sensitive transfer is required.
• Emptying drums, IBCs, and other bulk containers of food-grade materials.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, flow rates typically range from 20 to 100 litres per minute, depending on product viscosity and pump configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, or can be pneumatically driven.

Materials of construction

Product contact parts are typically manufactured from 316-grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food applications.

Pump type

Kecol pumps are generally positive displacement piston pumps, suitable for high-viscosity products.

Typical footprint

A transfer pump of this nature typically occupies a floor space of approximately 0.5m x 0.5m, plus space for ancillary equipment.

Operating pressure

Commonly operates at discharge pressures up to 10-15 bar, depending on the specific model and application.
