Tarua®: the positive displacement pump that handles anything
Where conventional pumps stop, Tarua ®
keeps going
A positive displacement pump like no other
Tarua ® is more than an industrial positive displacement pump — it is a complete line of double-acting peristaltic pumps engineered to handle liquids and solids of any size and nature without clogging. Rooted in over 40 years of industrial R&D at IDEE E PRODOTTI , Tarua ® combines full-passage technology with self-priming vacuum power to deliver reliable performance where standard pumps consistently fail.
Self-priming, non-clog and full-passage: how Tarua ® works
Tarua ® pumps are self-priming peristaltic pumps designed for the smooth, continuous transfer of any fluid — water, sludge, sand, slurry, organic waste, food products, and industrial solids of any size. Their full-passage design means no valves to clog, no filters to maintain and no shredders to replace. The result is a non-clog industrial pump that handles heterogeneous materials efficiently and continuously, from routine process transfer to the most challenging field conditions.
Key strengths of Tarua ®
positive displacement pumps
Full-passage design
Tarua ® is a full-passage industrial pump — capable of handling solids as large as the suction port diameter, from fine sand and sludge to pebbles, rags and clamps. Nothing gets stuck. Nothing clogs.
Vacuum-powered suction
Tarua ® generates suction through vacuum power, reaching up to 900 mbar — delivering constant, high-performance transfer even over long distances and significant elevation differences. No priming required.
Simple and quick maintenance
Replacing the Kodrill® valve (proprietary check valve) or membrane requires no full disassembly. Tarua ® is designed for rapid on-site maintenance — minimal downtime, no specialist tools required, operable by your own team.
Suitable for any application
Tarua ® is a double-acting positive displacement pump adaptable to virtually any industrial application — from sludge transfer and tank cleaning to food processing and environmental remediation. One pump, configured for your specific need.
Peristaltic and self-priming
Tarua ® is a volumetric self-priming peristaltic pump — it passes through any solid or liquid without retention or blockage. Unlike centrifugal pumps, it maintains consistent flow regardless of material density or viscosity, making it equally effective on construction sites, in industrial plants and in environmental applications.
Dry-run capable
Tarua ® can operate in dry-run mode — continuing to function safely when no liquid is present, without risk of damage. This is a critical advantage in unpredictable field conditions where liquid flow may be interrupted unexpectedly.
Compact and mobile like a vacuum unit
Tarua ® is a compact, wheeled non-clog pump that can be brought directly to the suction point — minimizing pressure losses and making it far more effective than a traditional vacuum unit. Its mobility makes it ideal for confined spaces, urban areas, historical centres and any site where heavy equipment cannot reach. From slurry pump applications in industrial plants to civil protection operations in confined urban areas, Tarua® gets there.
100% Made in Italy
Tarua ® is a self-priming pump engineered and manufactured entirely in Italy by IDEE E PRODOTTI. Every component is conceived, built and tested in Italy, continuously refined through field research and direct user feedback. This commitment to quality and innovation has made Tarua ® a benchmark in industrial self-priming pump technology for over 40 years.
Beyond the pump: complete pumping systems with Tarua ®
Tarua ® has always been synonymous with reliability in continuous material transfer — dense sludge, complex slurries, demanding industrial conditions. Today, IDEE E PRODOTTI goes further: a new generation of complete pumping systems integrates Tarua ® into customised configurations designed to solve the most complex application challenges. From sludge management to emergency response, from industrial tank cleaning to environmental remediation — tailored systems built around real operational needs.
