The DOP-160 is a fully submersible vertical screw pump which is able to pump a wide variety of oils and liquids up to 30 m³/hr / 132 US gallons per minute. The DOP-160 pump is a positive displacement pump, making it ideal for oil spill applications. It is capable of handling a wide range of fluids from water to extremely viscous oil, even with some trash content. The screw and casing are fitted with a sturdy cutting knife arrangement that can slice through or crush items such as marine grasses, seaweed, line and plastic. The maximum discharge pressure this pump can generate is 10 bar / 145 psi - far greater than most centrifugal or diaphragm pumps. This high output pressure enables the pump to deliver oil through long lengths of hose. The gentle action of the DOP-160 does not emulsify oil and water when pumping. This means that water can be quickly and easily separated from the recovered oil before storage. The pump can be operated at variable speeds from zero to maximum. As it has positive displacement the output is directly proportional to the screw rpm. This allows the operator to accurately set the flow rate to the optimum setting.
