Piston Pumps are commonly used in the Process manufacturing industries, such as Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals. They represent a trusted and proven technology that is easy to clean between batches and delivers a reliable flow of product during production. Yet, they suffer from a number of issues that are inherent to their core technology
This pump has difficulties with suction of the highly viscous liquids, such as “hand cream” and this tends to result in excess product wastage left inside the pump and inlet hose
The core reciprocating pumping motion can cause sensitive chemical components to separate during the pumping process thus negatively impacting the quality of product
Due to the extra workload performed during suction power consumption is often high during pumping
Solution
SwashPump core technology is based on an oscillating plate inside the pumping chamber using a sinusoidal motion, i.e. Non reciprocal.
This results in,
Very smooth flow at the discharge, thus constant delivery of liquid with no pulse
High levels of vacuum generated at the inlet allowing the pump to pull the hand cream through a one inch pipe from a height of 1.5 m
A completely clean inlet pipe and pumping chamber once the product vat has been emptied reducing waste by a factor of 40 resulting in considerable savings on the high cost product
