Fuel transfer pump PANTHER EX

Product code: PANTHEREX

The PIUSI Panther EX is an ATEX/IECEx-certified AC electric fuel transfer pump designed for handling gasoline, diesel, kerosene, HVO, and XTL fuels in potentially explosive environments.  

It is engineered for:

• Continuous-duty operation (S1),
• High flow performance (~56–72 L/min depending on version),
• Safe use in hazardous (Zone 1/2) environments,
• Heavy-duty industrial applications such as mining and logistics.
