Transfer

Electric pumps for transferring various liquids such as wine, milk, diesel, and water.

Transfer · Specification range

A transfer pump is a surface electric pump designed to move liquid from one container to another — between barrels, from a tanker to a storage tank, from a drum to a cistern — in temporary or semi-permanent installations that do not require continuous pressurisation. JOVAL distributes in Portugal the BE-M range, with a bronze body and single-phase 230 V supply, for transfer of multiple liquid types.

Transfer · Technical Overview

The BE-M range covers flows from 1 700 l/h on the BE-M 20 (0.37 kW, DN 1/2") up to 4 800 l/h on the BE-M 30 (0.74 kW, DN 1"), with manometric heads of 14 to 18 m depending on the model. The bronze body is chemically compatible with wine, must, milk, vinegar, diesel, light oils and brackish water, covering both winery and dairy applications and the transfer of agricultural fuels and occasional pumping of saline water. IP 44 protection and Class F insulation allow operation in environments without excessive humidity.

The BE-M is typically used in manual or semi-automated operations — switch on, transfer one tank, switch off — without the constant-pressure architecture of a multistage centrifugal pump in a booster set. For continuous pressurisation installations, see the Surface Pumps category (MV, CDMF, CDLF, CHLF series). For pool installations with permanent recirculation, the corresponding option is the Winner range published in Swimming Pool Pumps.

Frequently asked questions

  1. What is a transfer pump and how does it differ from a pressurisation pump?

    A transfer pump moves liquid from one container to another in discontinuous operations — filling a tank, emptying a barrel, transferring between cisterns — without holding constant pressure on a network. A pressurisation pump, like the MV or CDMF surface series, holds permanent pressure on a closed hydraulic system.

  2. Why is the body in bronze and not stainless steel?

    Bronze is chemically compatible with most traditional transfer liquids — wine, must, milk, vinegar, diesel, light oils — and offers good corrosion resistance combined with economical machining. For more aggressive liquids, the standard choice is a dedicated stainless-steel pump.

  3. Can I use the BE-M to transfer diesel or fuel oils?

    Yes, bronze is compatible with diesel and light fuel oils at ambient temperature. The maximum liquid temperature is 40 °C, so it should not be used for heated fluids. For volatile fuels (petrol, solvents) the manufacturer must be consulted before any installation.

  4. What flow and head can the BE-M series deliver?

    The BE-M 20 (0.37 kW, DN 1/2") reaches 18 m of head and 1 700 l/h; the BE-M 25 (0.4 kW, DN 3/4") covers 14 m and 2 400 l/h; the BE-M 30 (0.74 kW, DN 1") reaches 4 800 l/h. Higher-power models exist on the full datasheet.

  5. Does the BE-M replace a pool pump or a pressurisation pump?

    No. For continuous pool circulation, the matching range is Swimming Pool Pumps (Winner series). For continuous pressurisation, the choice is Surface Pumps (MV/CDMF/CDLF/CHLF). The BE-M is specifically for intermittent transfer.
