Viscous Pumps from KECOL Pumping Systems.
What Are Viscous Pumps?
Viscous pumps (or high-viscosity pumps) are engineered to transfer thick, sticky, shear-sensitive, or abrasive fluids—from honey and peanut butter to heavy oils, slurries, and tars. Unlike centrifugal pumps, they use positive displacement (PD) mechanisms (e.g., piston, diaphragm, screw, gear, peristaltic) to generate high pressure and smooth, consistent flow—even at low speeds
At KECOL, our portfolio includes stainless-steel piston, diaphragm, rotary-lobe, progressive cavity, twin‑screw, and gear pumps, all tailored for viscous operations.
