Piston Pumps Specifications
Pneumatic Piston Pump Operation
Pneumatic piston pumps are powered by an air motor that alternately drives a piston up and down to draw material from a container and deliver it under pressure. During the up stroke, material enters the fluid section; during the down stroke, it displaces material into the pressure line — generating consistent output for spray guns or dispensing systems.
Design Features & User Benefits
Engineered for industrial use, all piston pump fluid sections are constructed with stainless steel components, large replaceable inlet/outlet valves, and integral pressure regulation. Key practical advantages include:
- Low pulsation for smoother spray and reduced finish variability
- Easy-to-maintain fluid section with quick access to service parts
- Air motor with IceBreaker technology to minimize icing during operation
- Precise material pressure control via pump ratio and air pressure settings
- Long-term reliability with a three-year warranty (excludes wear parts)
Low vs. High Pressure Piston Pumps
Kirkco piston pumps are available in configurations that balance flow rate and working pressure for specific processes:
- Low-Pressure Pumps: High volumetric flow at lower working pressures — ideal for material transport and supply systems.
- High-Pressure Pumps: Lower flow with elevated pressures — suitable for direct application in Airless, AirCoat, and electrostatic spray operations.
IceBreaker Air Motor Advantage
The industry-proven IceBreaker air motor design significantly reduces internal icing — eliminating frequent work interruptions for thawing. This also enhances performance with:
- Integrated pressure regulation
- Pneumatic control without the need for oil
- Low pulsation for smoother material flow
- Compact, ergonomic housing for industrial environments
Packings
Packings are seals that seal the piston from the piston guide. Packings can either be static, which means they are permanently attached, or dynamic, in which case they move with the piston.
The material used for packings should be chosen in accordance with the material being processed. One of Kirkco’s technical specialists can assist by providing more information.

Piston pumps with explosion protected inline fluid heater Wagner Thermo technology combines the tried-and-tested pneumatic piston pumps Puma 28-40 and Leopard 35-70 with an explosion-protected inline fluid heater. This guarantees a constant paint temperature with a maximum outlet temperature of 65 ° C and a maximum working temperature of 80 ° C. This temperature control of the sprayed material reduces its viscosity, achieving better atomisation and quicker degassing. The drying times are reduced, the process characteristics improved, and a homogeneous, smooth surface is achieved. Not only furniture manufacturers (wear-proofing), window makers, and carpentry and joinery firms benefit from Thermotechnik, but it is also used in heavy steelwork, shipbuilding, and plastics processing (e.g., for car accessories).
