History and Development
Shanghai Jiyo was founded in 2003 as a distributor and service provider for fluid-transfer equipment. Its early business model focused on representing established international pump manufacturers and supplying equipment to industrial users in China.
Several milestones shaped the company’s subsequent development:
- 2003: The company was established in Shanghai, initially building its business around industrial pump distribution and technical support.
- 2010: Jiyo established equipment-assembly and processing capabilities together with a professional testing platform, expanding its role from product agency into system integration and project delivery.
- 2014: Shanghai Jiyo was listed on China’s National Equities Exchange and Quotations under stock code 831533, according to corporate-information records.
- 2016: The company formed a strategic cooperation relationship with Swiss automation-technology supplier Rocksensor, adding pressure and temperature sensors, transmitters, and flowmeters to its broader process-equipment offering.
- Subsequent development: Jiyo expanded its activities into plastic-pelletizing systems and developed proprietary product lines, including the SeficoPower air-operated diaphragm-pump brand and the ZOOM plastic-pelletizing system.
This progression reflects a broader pattern in China’s industrial-equipment sector: companies that began as distributors increasingly added engineering, assembly, automation, and service capabilities to address customers seeking complete process solutions rather than individual components.
Business Operations and Segments
Jiyo’s business can be grouped into three closely related activities.
Fluid-transfer equipment distribution
The company supplies pumps and related equipment from international manufacturers. Reported partner and product brands include Tuthill, PSG brands such as Wilden, Blackmer, Mouvex, Griswold, Alm atec, and EnviroGear, as well as Maag, PPI, Serfilco, SEKO, FTI, and other specialized suppliers.
This distribution activity gives customers access to equipment designed for abrasive, viscous, corrosive, volatile, or otherwise difficult-to-handle media. It also requires application engineering because pump performance depends on fluid viscosity, solids content, temperature, pressure, flow rate, chemical compatibility, and the required degree of metering accuracy.
System integration and engineering services
Jiyo provides project-oriented services covering:
- Process-scheme design
- Pump selection and sizing
- Fluid-system calculations
- Equipment matching and package assembly
- Automation and instrumentation integration
- Installation and commissioning
- Maintenance and technical support
The company’s reported experience covers more than 300 fluid-handling process applications, while its customer base has included hundreds of foreign-invested and industrial enterprises in China. Such experience is particularly relevant to plastics and chemical plants, where pumps are often integrated into larger systems for raw-material transfer, additive dosing, filtration, extrusion support, solvent handling, and product recovery.
Manufacturing and proprietary equipment
In addition to representing external brands, Jiyo markets proprietary products. These include the SeficoPower air-diaphragm-pump line and the ZOOM plastic-pelletizing system. The combination of proprietary equipment, third-party machinery, and engineering services allows the company to participate at several points in the equipment value chain.
Products and Technologies
Pump technologies
The company’s principal pump categories include:
- Air-operated double-diaphragm pumps: Suitable for intermittent or variable-flow service and for transferring liquids containing solids or requiring leak-resistant handling. Pneumatic drive systems can be advantageous in hazardous or washdown environments because the pump does not require an electric motor at the point of operation.
- Gear pumps: Positive-displacement pumps commonly used for viscous fluids, lubricants, polymers, resins, and other materials requiring relatively stable volumetric delivery. Their practical performance depends on gear geometry, internal clearances, operating temperature, and the viscosity of the conveyed medium.
- Vacuum pumps: Used in evacuation, degassing, drying, filtration, vacuum conveying, and process-support duties.
- Vane pumps: Applied in liquid-transfer services where smooth flow and compact construction are required.
- Metering and dosing pumps: Used to deliver controlled quantities of chemicals, additives, catalysts, solvents, and treatment agents.
- Centrifugal pumps: Listed among the company’s equipment categories for applications involving comparatively lower-viscosity fluids and higher-volume transfer duties.
Pump selection in plastics production requires attention to shear sensitivity, melt temperature, solids loading, contamination risk, pressure pulsation, and compatibility between wetted materials and the process medium. In polymer-related applications, positive-displacement pumps are often preferred where a controlled flow is required for viscous or high-temperature materials.
Plastic-pelletizing systems
Jiyo also supplies plastic-pelletizing equipment under the ZOOM name. Pelletizing systems convert extruded polymer strands or melt streams into granules suitable for transport, blending, storage, compounding, and subsequent processing.
Depending on configuration, a pelletizing line may include:
- Extruder-to-die connection equipment
- Strand or underwater cutting arrangements
- Cooling and solidification systems
- Pellet dryers
- Screening and classification equipment
- Conveying and collection units
- Process monitoring and control components
Pellet quality is influenced by die design, cutting geometry, melt temperature, cooling conditions, residence time, strand stability, and the polymer’s rheological properties. Consistent pellet dimensions and low fines generation are important for downstream feeding, blending, and packaging.
Instrumentation and automation
Through its cooperation with automation and measurement suppliers, Jiyo has expanded beyond mechanical equipment into process instrumentation. Relevant devices include pressure sensors, temperature sensors, transmitters, and flowmeters. These components help monitor operating conditions and support closed-loop control, fault detection, energy management, and production consistency.

For plastics manufacturers, this type of applied development can be significant because equipment performance depends heavily on the interaction between pump design, polymer formulation, temperature control, extrusion conditions, and automation. Improvements in monitoring and process integration can help reduce unplanned downtime and improve consistency, even where the underlying pump or pelletizer technology is established.
Sustainability and Environmental Considerations
The company’s equipment contributes indirectly to environmental performance through applications in water treatment, waste handling, process-efficiency improvement, and chemical dosing. Pumps and control systems can support more accurate use of treatment chemicals, reduce leakage, and improve the reliability of industrial processes.
In plastics manufacturing, system design also affects resource efficiency. Stable transfer and metering may help reduce off-specification production, while effective pelletizing can improve material recovery and downstream handling. However, the environmental performance of a pump or pelletizing line depends on the complete system, including motor efficiency, operating point, maintenance condition, process losses, cleaning requirements, and the fate of products at end of life.
Plastic-pelletizing equipment is relevant to both virgin-polymer and recycled-polymer operations. In recycling applications, reliable cutting, cooling, drying, and classification are important for producing pellets with consistent dimensions and moisture levels. These factors influence the usability of recycled material in compounding and subsequent manufacturing.
