Manufacturing Industry Pumps
Don’t compromise your process for your pump!
Don’t compromise your process for your pump!
Whether you make paint, paper, metals, ice cream or cleaning products, there will be an industrial pump involved in your process. With that being said, you can imagine the unlimited of fluids and duty requirements, and so a pump that works for one, doesn’t work for another. It is vital you get the right pump, else it can cost you time, money and an imperfect product.
With 15 years’ experience, Castle Pumps regularly deal with process engineers looking for a pumping solution to upscale production, improve process efficiency or reduce maintenance costs, as well as engineering consultants specifying such on their clients’ behalf.

Who We've Worked With
Case Studies
Solvents for Metal Reclamation – AODD Pumps
Castle Pumps were approached by a precious metal reclamation and recycling company looking for a number of the same pumps. They wanted a solution for transferring the solvents used for the cleaning of recycled metal product surfaces to be used in the pharmaceutical industry. The requirements of the pumps included being driven by air as opposed to an electric motor due to previous pumps used and being capable of offering a good service life despite the aggressive nature of the solvents.
Vape Flavour Dispensing from IBCs - Food Grade Barrel Pump
Castle Pumps received an enquiry from a manufacturer of vape liquids and flavours who were looking to upscale their production. Part of this involved improving the efficiency of transferring the concentrated flavours from the IBCs where they are stored. The customer was looking for a number of container emptying solutions for fitting onto the IBCs and dispensing the favours without manually handling the fluid. They were looking for a number of container emptying solutions for fitting onto IBCs.
Water Based Dye Transfer – Peristaltic Pumps
Castle Pumps have been working for a good few years now with a manufacturer of site machinery for the quarry, mining, aggregate and forestry industries. They originally approached us when they were in need of a pump to be used with one of their large-scale colouring trommels. The trommel works by moving mulch, wood chippings, aggregates and sand in large volumes along a conveyor whilst spraying it with dye to colour it for landscaping.
