Sliding Vane Pumps are a type of positive displacement pump known for their simplicity, reliability, and versatility. The core of this pump design involves vanes that slide in and out of slots in a rotor. As the rotor spins, the vanes create expanding and contracting chambers, drawing in and expelling fluid with each rotation.

Applications Across Industries:

Discover the wide-ranging applications of Sliding Vane Pumps across diverse industries:

• Fuel Transfer: Perfect for pumping various fuels, including gasoline, diesel, and biodiesel, thanks to their ability to handle both low and high-viscosity liquids.

• Chemical Processing: Well-suited for the transfer of non-corrosive to mildly corrosive chemicals, making them an essential component in chemical processing applications.

• Printing and Packaging: Used for ink circulation and packaging processes, ensuring precise and consistent fluid transfer.

• Liquid Propane (LPG) and Butane Transfer: Ideal for handling liquefied gases, contributing to safe and efficient LPG and butane transfer operations.

• Tank Truck Unloading: Commonly employed for unloading a variety of liquids from tank trucks due to their ability to handle different viscosities.

• Marine Applications: Vital in marine environments for tasks such as fueling, bilge pumping, and ballast transfer.

  
  

Advantages of Sliding Vane Pumps:
