The HOUTTUIN screw pumps can be applied for pumping all kinds of liquids. They are very suitable for pumping highly viscous products such as tar, bitumen, molasses, syrup, vegetable oil, lubricating oil, fuel oil, bunker oil etc.Also low viscosity products such as gas oil, kerosene, water, petrol, solvents etc. can be pumped very efficiently.In addition to selling our products we can give when requested, technical advice about the possibilities and most suitable constructions. It is no exaggeration to state that our pumps are known all over the world for quality and reliability.In order to achieve and maintain our high level of quality, all product design, construc¬tion, manufacturing and testing is carried out in our own factory. Continuous research and testing results in various new design and construction techniques.
To enable Houttuin to manufacture the very complex screw shafts to the extremely high precision required, Houttuin had special purpose C.N.C. machines designed and built by a reputable machine manufacturing company to meet their own specific requirements, thereby guaranteeing the production of screw shafts to very high standards. .The machinery used for the manufacturing of other pump components, such as pump casings, casing inserts and bearing covers is of very robust construction and is capable of working to very fine tolerances, because of this it is possible for Houttuin to machine the largest components, with the greatest precision, thereby not at least the first-rate machine operators ensuring the high standard of quality with which Houttuin is associated.
Of equal importance to the quality of our product is our test facility, where every pump undergoes a hydrostatic and running test. The running test is performed in a manner approximating as near as possible the actual duty conditions. Various other tests may be carried out according to individual customer requirements, as well as independent inspections by the relevant authorities such as Lloyds.
In line with our policy of quality control all suppliers to Houttuin are carefully vetted to ensure that their products conform to one of the ISO 9000-standards, these products being subject to inspection by our own quality control department, as are the parts and components produced by Houttuin.
