Product Introduction
The Series is a self-contained, portable oil transfer pump unit, powered by a dependable diesel engine. This robust assembly combines the reliable, positive displacement action of a KCB gear pump with the go-anywhere convenience of diesel power. It is engineered specifically for the transfer of viscous, lubricating liquids such as diesel fuel, machine oils, hydraulic fluids, and heavy oils. The pump is the ideal solution for mobile refueling, remote oil transfer, and emergency fluid handling in construction, agriculture, mining, and marine applications where electrical power is unavailable.
Design Philosophy & Construction
This unit is a complete, field-ready system designed for toughness and portability, integrating a specialized pump with a reliable power source.
The Pump End: KCB Gear Pump
- External Gear Principle: The unit features a KCB external gear pump, which uses two intermeshing hardened steel gears to move fluid. As the gears rotate, they trap the oil in the spaces between their teeth and the pump casing, transporting it from the suction to the discharge side with a steady, predictable flow.
- Positive Displacement Action: As a positive displacement pump, it delivers a fixed volume of liquid with each revolution. This ensures a consistent, non-pulsating output that is ideal for transfer and refueling operations, and it is highly efficient across a wide range of fluid viscosities.
- Built for Viscous Liquids: The entire pump end is designed for oily, lubricating fluids. The internal components, including the bushings that support the gear shafts, are lubricated by the fluid being pumped.
The Drive End: Diesel Engine Assembly
- Fuel-Efficient Diesel Engine: The pump is connected to a carefully matched, air-cooled or water-cooled industrial diesel engine, chosen for its fuel efficiency, reliability, and easy starting. A heavy-duty gearbox is often used to reduce the engine’s high RPM to the optimal lower speed required by the gear pump.
- Portable & Robust Chassis: The complete assembly—pump, gearbox, engine, and fuel tank—is mounted on a rugged steel frame. This frame is often configured as a two-wheeled cart for maximum portability or as a compact skid base for mounting on a truck bed or trailer.
- Turnkey Solution: The pump is designed as a ready-to-use system, frequently supplied with suction and discharge hoses, a fuel filter, and a dispensing nozzle.
Key Features & Benefits
- Total Portability & Power Independence: The diesel engine and mobile chassis provide the ultimate freedom to transfer fuels and oils in any location, from remote construction sites to agricultural fields.
- Reliable Viscous Fluid Handling: Expertly handles a wide range of fluids, from thin diesel and kerosene to thick gear oils, hydraulic fluids, and even molasses.
- Steady, Metered Flow: The positive displacement action ensures a smooth, consistent output, making it perfect for refueling machinery without splashing or surging.
- Excellent Self-Priming: The gear pump design creates a strong suction lift, allowing it to easily and quickly prime itself when drawing oil from drums, tanks, or sumps below.
- Simple and Durable: Both the KCB gear pump and the industrial diesel engine are known for their simple, robust designs, ensuring a long service life with straightforward maintenance in field conditions.
Common Applications
The pump is used for any application requiring the mobile transfer of fuels, oils, and other viscous liquids.
- Mobile Refueling: Refueling excavators, bulldozers, tractors, generators, and other heavy equipment on construction sites, farms, and in mines.
- Remote Oil Transfer: Loading, unloading, and transferring oils and fuels from storage tanks, drums, and tankers in off-grid locations.
- Marine Operations: Bunkering (refueling) of vessels, transferring bilge oil, and handling lube oils on ships and in ports.
- Industrial Maintenance: Draining and filling large gearboxes, hydraulic reservoirs, and transformers in the field during service operations.
- Emergency Services: Pumping out oil sumps or executing emergency fuel transfers during power failures.
