California Industrial Pump Company for Peristaltic Hose Pumps
KECO Pump & Equipment is based in San Diego and serves California facilities that need engineered Rotho peristaltic pumps for abrasive, chemical, viscous, shear-sensitive, and solids-laden fluids.
Where KECO Fits Among California Pump Companies
California has many industrial pump companies: full-service repair shops, municipal pump contractors, centrifugal pump distributors, petroleum-system specialists, dewatering rental companies, and manufacturers for specific niches. KECO covers one specific niche: peristaltic hose pumps and positive displacement transfer systems that handle difficult fluids without seals, valves, or impellers touching the product.
From our San Diego facility, KECO supplies Rotho peristaltic pumps made by Ragazzini of Faenza, Italy, plus replacement hoses, application sizing, and technical support for California plants, municipalities, contractors, labs, and process facilities. The pump range covers precision dosing through heavy-duty slurry transfer, with models from 0.10 GPH to 47,750 GPH and pressure ratings up to 290 PSI.
- Best fit: abrasive slurry, chemical transfer, viscous fluids, shear-sensitive products, solids handling, and dry-run risk
- California base: San Diego headquarters at 3475 Kurtz Street
- Product focus: Ragazzini Rotho S, M, L, and LD Series peristaltic hose pumps
- Support focus: pump selection, hose material guidance, replacement hoses, and application engineering
- Buyer fit: engineers and maintenance teams that need a durable industrial process pump, not just emergency pump repair
Peristaltic Pump Applications in California
These are the duties where conventional pump designs get expensive to maintain.
Mining & Slurry
Abrasive, high-solids transfer
LD Series pumps handle mineral slurries, tailings, caustic soda, and abrasive process streams.
Mining applications →Chemical Processing
Sealless chemical transfer
Rotho pumps isolate the fluid inside the hose, reducing seal and valve maintenance in difficult chemical service.
Chemical applications →Food & Beverage
Gentle product handling
Peristaltic transfer protects shear-sensitive products such as yeast, sauces, pastes, fruit fillings, and viscous ingredients.
Food applications →Water Treatment
Sludge, polymer, and dosing
Self-priming, dry-run capable hose pumps support municipal and industrial water treatment duties.
Water applications →Choosing a California Industrial Pump Company: Where KECO Fits
The right supplier depends on the pump duty, failure mode, and support need.
For buyers comparing California industrial pump companies, KECO is not trying to be every pump shop. Its focus is peristaltic hose pump technology and difficult industrial fluids — nothing else.
| Buyer Need | Best-Fit Company Type | Where KECO Fits |
|---|---|---|
| Peristaltic hose pumps, slurry, chemical transfer, food processing, mining, water treatment, viscous fluids, or solids handling | Engineered peristaltic pump supplier | Choose KECO for Ragazzini Rotho pump selection, replacement hoses, hose material guidance, and application engineering. |
| Emergency service on existing centrifugal, booster, sump, or mixed-brand pump systems | Local repair and field-service contractor | KECO fits when the repair decision leads to a Rotho peristaltic replacement or support need. |
| Fueling stations, fleet fueling, petroleum dispensing, or compliance-heavy fuel systems | Petroleum equipment specialist | KECO handles industrial process fluids, not fueling-system construction. |
| Broad lift-station, booster, well, or municipal infrastructure packages | Municipal pump contractor or manufacturer representative | KECO fits when the municipal duty involves sludge, polymer, lime slurry, chemical dosing, or abrasive transfer. |
