Sliding Vane Pumps

Sliding Vane Pumps are designed for superior efficiency, reliability, and durability. These positive displacement pumps provide consistent flow, self-priming capability, and excellent suction lift, making them ideal for handling fuels, chemicals, lubricants, and other industrial fluids

  • Sliding Vane Pumps are positive displacement pumps designed to deliver consistent, pulse-free flow while handling a wide range of fluids — including thin, viscous, or volatile liquids. Their unique design features vanes that slide in and out of rotor slots, creating sealed pumping chambers that efficiently draw in and move fluid with every rotation. Known for their excellent priming capabilities, smooth flow, and ability to run dry for short periods, sliding vane pumps offer a reliable solution for industrial and commercial fluid handling.


    KEY ADVANTAGES INCLUDE:

    • Self-priming and dry-run capable – reduces system complexity and operational risks

    • Constant flow at varying pressures – ideal for metering or transfer applications

    • Gentle, low-shear operation – suitable for sensitive fluids

    • Compact, simple design – easy to service and maintain

    • Reversible flow direction – for added flexibility in system design

  • Sliding vane pumps are widely used in industries where reliable transfer and metering of liquid products are critical. 


    TYPICAL APPLICATIONS INCLUDE:

    • Fuel and petroleum handling - Efficiently transfers petrol, diesel, aviation fuels, and lubricants in distribution, bulk transfer, and loading operations.

    • Chemical processing - Handles acids, solvents, alcohols, and other aggressive or volatile chemicals with precision and reliability.

    • Food and beverage - Pumps flavorings, oils, syrups, and other food-grade liquids where hygiene and flow consistency are required.

    • Paints, coatings, and inks - Maintains steady flow of viscous or shear-sensitive materials in manufacturing processes.

    • Industrial and manufacturing - Transfers coolants, hydraulic oils, heat transfer fluids, and other process liquids.

    • Tank truck and bulk delivery systems - Used for mobile fluid transfer due to their compact size, reversible flow, and self-priming nature.

  • We offer a range of sliding vane pumps to suit different fluids, pressures, and operating environments.
