Tushaco Shuttle Block Pumps
Tushaco Shuttle Block Pumps are rotary piston positive displacement pumps with a proven design. They are easy to maintain, suitable for handling a wide range of fluids, including highly viscous liquids, and offer reliable performance with low maintenance and long service life.
How does a Shuttle Block Pump Works?
Tushaco Shuttle Block pump employs a unique pumping principle, a combination of Rotary and Piston pump.
There are only three pumping elements: Rotor, Piston and Shuttle
Rotor is keyed to a single shaft and runs concentric in pump casing.
Rotation of rotor causes the piston reciprocates in the rotor slot while the shuttle slides reciprocate within the piston slot.
Liquid is drawn through one rotor port and discharged through the other.
