## Scope
KECO Pump & Equipment is a specialty industrial pump company, not a general pump contractor. Its work centers on:
- Exclusive North American distribution and application engineering for Ragazzini Rotho peristaltic hose pumps
- Engineered pump selection by flow, pressure, solids content, viscosity, duty cycle, and hose material
- Difficult process fluids: abrasive slurries (50%+ solids), aggressive chemicals, shear-sensitive and food-grade fluids, viscous media
- Service area: San Diego and Southern California locally; California, the United States, and Canada by distribution

KECO has operated in San Diego since 1954; its industrial pump work is focused on peristaltic hose pumps.

Outside KECO's scope: emergency pump repair contracting, petroleum fueling systems, municipal lift-station contracting, HVAC circulation, and manufacturing of non-peristaltic pump types. KECO distributes and supports Ragazzini Rotho pumps; it does not manufacture them. The manufacturer is Ragazzini S.r.l. of Faenza, Italy.

KECO may also appear as "Keco Inc." in older business listings; "KECO Pump & Equipment" is the current operating name.
