In fish and seafood processing, pumps play a vital role to support a range of applications from live fish handling to fish oil extraction and chum production. They are also used in aquaculture, where seawater or freshwater must be pumped and filtered to maintain optimal breeding conditions. Selecting the right pump is crucial to preserving the quality of seafood products, ensuring hygienic processing, and maintaining the welfare of live fish.

Edible oils and fats consist of various oils used within cooking and food processing which require transfer as part of the process. They may also be removed at the end of their useful life by oil and fat collection companies to be recycled or disposed of as they are unable to be flushed down drains.

Drilling mud is an essential process in oil and gas exploration. Sometimes called drilling fluid, it is continuously circulated through boreholes to cool and lubricate drill bits. It also transports drill cuttings to the surface and maintains hydrostatic pressure within the well. During the process, the drilling mud is filtered and recirculated to ensure maximum efficiency while minimising waste.

The pumping of dairy, milk and ice cream requires careful planning to ensure consistency of final product, ensuring the nature of the liquid does not change as well as accommodating the handling of ingredients such as nuts, sweets, fruit and chocolate.
