Centrifugal Ink Pumps

Lightweight, easy-to-clean pumps built for low-to-moderate viscosity inks on narrow and wide-web presses — with explosion-proof and ATEX-approved options for hazardous environments.

Powerwise centrifugal pumps use a Trifugal design with three stainless steel rods and stand directly in the ink. Each 5-gallon/20-liter unit ships complete with a full-flow by-pass, stainless steel components throughout, and a mild steel ink pail — built to be lightweight, simple to clean, and easy to swap between runs.

Where Centrifugal Pumps Excel

Centrifugal pumps are typically the first choice for low-to-moderate viscosity inks — performing well up to roughly 20 seconds on a Zahn Cup #3, with normal operating viscosity around 22 seconds on a Zahn Cup #2. Higher-viscosity inks generally call for a positive-displacement pump instead.

Available in Air-Driven and Electric Models

Centrifugal pumps are available as air-driven or electric units, sized for narrow-web or wide-web presses, and in non-explosion-proof or explosion-proof/ATEX-approved configurations for flammable-ink environments.

Explosion-Proof & ATEX-Approved Options

Ink rooms are flammable environments. Explosion-proof and ATEX-approved centrifugal pump configurations are available for operations that require them.
