ABOUT US
No one has a longer history with Continuous Pulse-Free Pumps than Vindum Engineering.
Yogi Vindum founded Vindum Engineering in 1987, but his work on high-pressure continuous pulse-free pumps began in the mid-80s. Working with John Petro at Petrophysical Services Inc, Core Research and then Quizix, they pioneered the first truly continuous pulse-free dual-piston pump architecture. Yogi’s patented constant-volume CV valve was a critical enabling component of that breakthrough and is still widely used in high-pressure laboratory work today.
Christa Vindum joined in 2002, taking on sales and customer relationships.
In 2012, Yogi, John, Christa, Steve Kunkel and several engineers from those early development programs began work on what would become the VP-Series — a new generation of high-pressure continuous pulse-free precision pumps. Christa became CEO in 2017. Yogi and John both remain as consultants to Vindum Engineering today. Under Christa’s leadership, Vindum expanded the product line with the VIPR-Series of high-pressure pulse-free syringe pumps, released in 2022.
Four decades of experience go into every pump and valve Vindum Engineering ships today.

OUR TEAM
Our equipment is only as good as the people who design, assemble, and test it. Vindum is a small team of engineers and technicians, most with long tenures at Vindum Engineering. We design our pumps and valves in-house and work with a network of trusted machine shops to produce the parts to our specifications. Every pump or valve is then assembled, calibrated, and tested by our team in California before it ships.
When you call Vindum Engineering, you get someone who knows our products inside out because they designed, assembled, and tested them. We also continue to support our products long after they leave the shop -- parts, service, and technical guidance included.
We also build to custom specifications. Alternative seal materials, modified pressure or flow ratings, custom control options, and OEM configurations are a regular part of what we do.
