River City Enterprises, bulk storage containers for viscous products.

Pump selection is important. Pumps must be positive displacement pumps, such as reciprocating, diaphragm or gear. They should be mounted close to River City containers so that the distance does not exceed 18" or 1/2 meter. All fittings must be tight and secure to eliminate air leaks. It is very helpful to mount the pump on a movable base with wheels or casters to allow for easier hook-up to our piston bins. Pump speed is also an important consideration when discharging viscous products. Pumps should be run as slowly as possible to fully load on each stroke. If the pump operates too fast, the material will not load properly and will "churn" until it begins to foam.

It is very important to discuss the pump setup or lay-out prior to installation. We have worked with several major pump companies, and the experience we have gained can be very useful in getting the proper design at the beginning of each project. In many cases, modification of drum pumps is possible to hook up with our system. In some situations, new pumps may have to be purchased. Please contact us for further information.
