Waukesha Pumps, or more specifically, Waukesha Universal U1 and U2 pumps have been used in the hygienic processing industries since their introduction in the 1950s.

These and other brands of circumferential piston pumps, are ubiquitous in the production departments of food, beverage, pharmaceutical & personal care manufacturers as well as carrying out heavy duty industrial applications.

There are other pump manufacturers that have developed ‘rotary piston’ or ‘external circumferential piston’ pumps (to give them their full name) but perhaps the most common pump brand that we at BestPump are asked to service, repair or replace is the Waukesha Pump Universal I and II (U1 & U2) series.

The external circumferential piston pump is a good example of a positive displacement rotary pump but before we answer the question, ‘Who makes Waukesha pumps?’, let’s look at how we can help you with yours!
