Pumping Difficult Viscous Products

Pastes and high viscosity products pose a challenge as they do not flow easily, preventing the pump from priming properly and causing cavitation, which results in pumping air instead of the product.
The solution is to use a Kecol Maxiprime twin cylinder pressure priming system in conjunction with a Kecol stubby pump, maintaining a positive prime on the pump and thus ensuring that it does not cavitate. As the product level falls, the sides of the drum are wiped clean by the follower plate on the priming system.
