High Flow Rate Cast Steel or Cast Stainless Steel High-Efficiency Sliding Vane Pump — Fuel Transfer & Refueling Station Applications
The YB-XX series of rotary sliding vane pumps has transformed the liquid transfer industry with its innovative sliding vane technology. Its unique self-adjusting sliding vane design automatically compensates for wear, maintaining a stable flow rate over time. This design provides excellent self-priming capabilities and dry-run protection, ensuring reliable operation even under low tank levels or empty pipeline conditions. With a compact structure and easy maintenance, the vanes can be replaced without removing the pump from the piping system, saving both installation and service time.
The YB-XX series is suitable for a wide range of fuel handling applications, including gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and other refined fuels. It is widely used for fuel delivery, fleet refueling, aviation fueling, chemical transport, and even biofuel handling. This series delivers outstanding performance in fuel stations, industrial sites, and chemical transport, handling both high-viscosity and low-viscosity liquids without the need for expensive heating systems, while minimizing energy consumption.
In terms of technical specifications, the YB-XX series offers nominal diameters from 50mm (2”) to 100mm (4”), with flow rates ranging from 150L/min to 1900L/min, covering a variety of operational requirements. Working pressure reaches up to 5 bar, with a vacuum capacity of 0.5 bar. Motor power options range from 2.2KW/3HP to 18.5KW/25HP. The pump body is primarily made of stainless steel, providing excellent resistance to corrosion, long-term durability, and low maintenance costs in harsh environments.
Internationally, the YB-XX series is known by different names. In Egypt, it is called stainless steel rotary vane pump; in Nigeria, it is industrial fuel sliding vane pump; in Spain, bomba de paletas deslizantes; in Portugal, bomba rotativa de palhetas; in the USA, rotary sliding vane fuel pump; and in Russia, ротационный лопастной насос. Despite the varying names, all models maintain the same core features: high efficiency, self-priming, dry-run protection, low maintenance, and versatile fluid handling capabilities.
Additional features include high suction lift and complete line-stripping capability, allowing the pump to fully empty tanks and pipelines. Its large displacement and low internal velocity enable it to handle liquids with minor solids content. The self-adjusting sliding vane mechanism minimizes wear and reduces failure rates. Highly energy-efficient, these pumps require less horsepower than other types, saving both initial motor investment and ongoing electricity costs. Overall, the YB-XX series is an ideal solution for fuel transfer, refueling stations, chemical transport, and high-viscosity liquid applications, balancing performance, cost-efficiency, and ease of maintenance.
