Roto Pumps Ltd., a globally recognized Indian multi-national leader of positive displacement pumps with over five decades of fluid engineering excellence successfully unveiled its latest product the Roto Cake Pumps at IFAT 2024, held from October 16th to 18th at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai.

The much-anticipated product launch marks a major milestone in the company's mission to deliver high-efficiency pumping solutions for the most challenging wastewater industry applications.

The Roto Cake Pumps offer a clean, odourless solution for handling highly viscous and non-flowable liquids with high dry solid contents ranging from 21% to 45%. These pumps are designed with a spacious feed hopper, a separate compression zone, an auger feed screw with enlarged diameter & extended pitch, making them ideal for conveying highly viscous media.

Traditional methods in India involve manual transportation and processing of sludge cake, often resulting in inefficiencies and high costs. Roto’s Cake Pumps provide a reliable alternative; as it easily handles sludge cake with flow rate of up to 100 cubic meters per hour while withstanding pressures of up to 24 bar. This makes it a crucial asset for industries looking to optimize their processes and comply with evolving environmental regulations.

Harish Chandra Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director, Roto Pumps Ltd., commented on the positive reception of the product, saying, "Our latest product “Roto Cake Pump” addresses the critical need for efficient & reliable pumping of sludge cake in the wastewater treatment industry. With a comprehensive range of pumps tailored for various applications and duty parameters, we’re already seeing a huge demand in international markets, and we expect this trend to grow as industries adopt cleaner and more sustainable technologies."

“Although the initial focus of the product is on the international market, where we have already supplied units to the U.S. and are in discussions with clients in Germany. As environmental regulations become more stringent, especially regarding pollution control and waste management, the potential applications for these pumps are expected to expand domestically,” added Gupta.

Roto Pumps has long been a leader in the positive displacement pumps market, both in India and internationally.
