The one problem that many factories face is the issue of pumping viscous liquids from one place to another. Pumps and VALVES do not work the same with viscous liquids as they do

with less viscous liquids, and finding the right solution for the right liquid can be a challenge.

Luckily, there are a variety of miniature solenoid valves and pumps specifically designed for use with viscous liquids. In fact, some valve and pump systems are capable of pumping viscous liquids with pressures up to 99.7 psi and a liquid flow rate of 1/32 gpm. This allows for a steady flow rate of viscous liquids with viscosity up to 50,000 cps, which is one of the thickest viscosity ratings for any liquid. These miniature solenoid valves can even pump suspended solids at temperatures of 20 degrees Celsius.

One advantage of this kind of pumping system is that the pump can operate dry without damaging the system. The pumps can also self-prime, which can save time and expense in operating the pump. These special pumps are designed for use with chemicals of all
types and are easy to use in demanding applications, such as locations with explosive atmospheres or high humidity.

The combination of cold-rated, high chemical resistance, and humidity tolerance makes these viscous liquid pumps highly useful for the pumping of any viscous liquid for any imaginable use. The small size of the VALVES and pumps also makes the unit highly versatile in applications with limited space and resources. Some pumps even allow adjustable flow rates to provide different pumping speeds for different uses. Factories can choose between single and double acting pumps to provide for a variety of manufacturing and material transfer needs in their factories.
