Blackmer Sliding Vane Pumps in Thin and Viscous Applications

Positive displacement sliding vane pumps provide superior performance over all other positive displacement pump technologies in moving low viscocity, thin liquids, such as refined fuels, LPG, refrigerants, liquid carbon dioxide and ammonia, to name a few. Vane pumps are clearly the pump of choice in thin liquid applications.

But, it should also be known that vane pumps are very effective at moving high viscosity liquids in the range of 50,000 ssu and higher.
