Viscous Pumps
What are Viscous Pumps and What are they used for?
Vertical, horizontal or wall mounted viscous pumps and stubby pumps are Piston Pumps which are ideal for moving or transferring high viscosity liquids and pastes. They are clean quiet and efficient. Viscous Pumps and Stubby pumps can be stalled without damage.
Kecol manufacture a range of Air Powered Stubby Piston Pumps to suit standard and non standard Drums, Containers or IBC’s. Maximum delivery output and pressure 130 L/Min. and 175 Bar.

Ultimate Guide to Viscous Pumps 💧 – KECOL Pumping Systems
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.
Why You Need a Viscous Pump from KECOL:
Unrivalled Fluid Handling Designed for fluids from tomato purée to molten sugar (> 500 cSt),
our PD pumps offer reliable, low-shear performance Customized Configuration.
We analyze viscosity, flow rate, shear sensitivity, abrasion, and feed conditions to select the best pump type—piston, twin-screw, diaphragm, peristaltic or gear.
Hygiene & Compliance
UK-manufactured in 316L stainless steel with EHEDG / 3-A / FDA-grade options, compatible with CIP/SIP and caustic cleaning
Precision & Reliability
Built to ISO 9001 standards, our pumps meet exacting performance specs in harsher environments.
Pumps in Action: Real-World Examples:
Food & Beverage: From sauces and jelly to cake batters and oils — our pumps ensure texture and taste integrity
Cosmetics & Pharmaceuticals: Accurate dosing of creams, lotions, gels with minimal shear.
Chemical & Slurry: Handling adhesives, tars, resins, mine slurries, and heavy oils.
