ENGINEERING BEYOND THE PUMP
Rethink the pump.
Improve the whole process.
When seal leakage and repeated pump servicing disrupt a viscous-liquid process, a pressure-vessel system offers a different approach. SINOSEN integrates the equipment and operating logic into one engineered package.
No rotating pumping element
Compressed air provides the driving force. The transfer vessel has no rotating pumping element or mechanical shaft seal.
A coordinated dual-vessel cycle
One vessel fills while the other transfers. Coordinated switching supports continuous upstream feeding within the engineered duty.
One integrated skid
Vessels, valves, instruments, pipework and control cabinet arrive assembled on a common frame for the agreed skid package.
ONE PLATFORM. MANY PROCESS DUTIES.

Explore the solutionTHE GENERATION 5 PRINCIPLE
Two vessels.
One coordinated process.
Follow the alternating cycle. Compressed air moves the liquid; the PLC manages filling, isolation, discharge and venting.
01
Fill & transfer
Vessel A receives product while vessel B transfers to the receiver. Upstream and downstream permissives govern the cycle.
02
Isolate & prepare
The full vessel is isolated before pressurization. The empty vessel vents through the specified arrangement before refilling.
03
Change over & transfer
The PLC exchanges the roles of the vessels. Vessel A transfers while vessel B fills, subject to the agreed permissives.
04
Vent & reverse
The emptied vessel A vents while vessel B prepares to transfer. The cycle repeats; actual timing depends on the product, route and available air.
Arrives integrated.
Starts with a clear plan.
The Generation 5 skid brings vessels, control cabinet, instruments, valves and pipework together before dispatch. Factory testing and defined site interfaces shorten the route from delivery to production.
Factory-tested control logic
The sequence and agreed interfaces are checked before dispatch. Defined site connections and remote support simplify start-up.
Built-in operating flexibility
A suitable A/B arrangement can continue at reduced capacity with one vessel isolated. Level and time modes support an agreed fallback strategy.

Technical questions, answered
Is this an air-operated diaphragm pump?
No. SINOSEN uses a pressure-vessel transfer system. Compressed air acts on the liquid in the vessel; an automated valve sequence controls filling and discharge. It is also different from pneumatic conveying of dry powders.
Does “modular” mean no work is needed on site?
The skid is preassembled and factory-tested to reduce site assembly and tuning. The site still provides the foundation, product pipes, power, compressed air, vent arrangement and agreed control interfaces. Local checks and commissioning acceptance remain necessary.
Can it replace every gear or rotary lobe pump?
Replacement is application-specific. We check viscosity at operating temperature, solids, air compatibility, flow stability, pressure drop, hygiene and total compressed-air cost. Metering duties, oxygen-sensitive products and hazardous fluids need separate review.
Is the system maintenance-free?
It removes the rotating pump element and its shaft-seal maintenance. Valves, seats, instruments, filters, pressure protection and the vessel still require planned inspection and service.
