VPP Sliding Vane Pump

Fuel & Oil Transfer for Tank Trucks

The VPP Sliding Vane Pump is a high‑performance solution designed for the transfer, loading, and unloading of fuel and chemical products in transport applications.

Featuring a parallel‑port sliding vane design, constant‑flow performance and fully self‑priming capability, the VPP delivers smooth, reliable operation even in harsh environments. Its compact footprint, low weight combined with high flow and easy maintenance make it particularly well suited for modern tank trucks, trailers, and skid‑mounted systems.

High Flow Rate with Low Weight

The VPP sliding vane pump combines a high flow capacity with a compact and lightweight design, making it especially suitable for tank trucks where payload optimization and layout flexibility are critical. Its parallel‑port internal geometry ensures strong throughput while keeping overall weight and installation space to a minimum.

Low Maintenance with Self‑Lubricating Components

Maintenance requirements are minimized thanks to self‑lubricating carbon bushings and wear‑resistant materials. These features significantly reduce service intervals and lifecycle costs while ensuring consistent performance over time.

Easy Maintenance and Serviceability

The VPP pump is engineered for quick and easy servicing, requiring no special tools. A single mechanical shaft seal and a straightforward internal layout allow maintenance tasks to be completed efficiently, helping to minimize vehicle downtime.

Robust Construction for Transport Environments

Designed for harsh operating conditions, the VPP features a rugged cast‑iron body and durable internal components. This robust construction ensures long service life even when handling demanding fuels and chemicals in transport applications.

Constant‑Flow Sliding Vane Technology

Thanks to its sliding vane principle, the VPP delivers a steady flow across a wide range of operating conditions. This constant‑flow behavior ensures accurate and smooth transfer of fuel and chemical products, improving system efficiency and operational reliability.

Fully Self‑Priming Performance

The VPP pump is fully self‑priming, providing strong suction capability even in demanding transfer situations. This allows reliable loading and unloading operations without external priming systems, reducing system complexity and setup time during field operations.

Quiet and Smooth Operation

The optimized vane design, balanced rotating components, and internal lubrication result in low noise and vibration levels during operation. This makes the VPP particularly suitable for urban deliveries and applications where operator comfort and noise reduction are important.

Parallel‑Port Sliding Vane Design

The VPP pump features a parallel‑port sliding vane configuration that enables compact installation while maintaining high hydraulic efficiency. This design supports flexible mounting on tank trucks and mobile systems, optimizing available space without compromising flow performance.

Constant‑Flow, Self‑Priming Performance

Designed around proven sliding vane technology, the VPP delivers a continuous flow across its operating range. The pump is fully self‑priming, providing reliable suction performance for efficient loading and unloading operations without the need for auxiliary priming equipment.

Flow Rate and Operating Pressure

The VPP is engineered for high‑capacity transfer of fuel, oil, and compatible chemical products while operating at elevated rotational speeds.

  • Maximum flow rate: up to 1050 l/min
  • Maximum working pressure: 12 bar g
  • Differential pressure: 0 – 10 bar g
  • Maximum rotation speed: 1100 rpm

Fluid Compatibility and Operating Range

The VPP pump is suitable for a wide variety of transport fluids and maintains stable performance across demanding operating conditions.

  • Dynamic viscosity: up to 5000 cSt*
  • Fluid temperature range: –20 °C to +70 °C
  • Compatible with diesel, gasoline, kerosene, ethanol, methanol, petrol, and oil
  • Depending on rotation speed

Sealing Concept and Low‑Maintenance Design

The pump is equipped with a single mechanical shaft seal, designed for durability and ease of replacement. Combined with self‑lubricating internal components, this sealing concept reduces wear, limits maintenance requirements, and supports long service intervals.

Integrated Bypass and Rotation Flexibility

For system protection and operational adaptability, the VPP can be supplied with an integrated mechanical or pneumatic bypass valve. The pump supports clockwise or counter‑clockwise rotation, ensuring easy integration into various vehicle layouts and drive configurations.

Drive Options and Certification

The VPP pump is compatible with the most common transport drive solutions and meets safety requirements for hazardous environments.

  • Drive options: PTO, hydraulic, electric, or diesel/petrol engine
  • Certification: ATEX compliant
