can this handle somewhat thicker liquids like apple sauce or ketchup?

I've never tried it but it'd depend on the thickness and consistency of the sauces. The pump needs priming and I can't imaging priming it with apple sauce unless watered down.

No. This is a centrifugal pump and must be primed with the liquid. Thicker liquids would only swirl around in the pump, if you could even get them to flow into it. Sauce and ketchup need something self priming and positive displacement.

That's a good question. These pumps are designed for use with high temp liquids. Chugger may make a pump to handle what you want but you would be better off contacting them directly.

My chugger has trouble with anything thicker than beer. probably will not take anything like ketchup or apple sauce

The motor is magnetically coupled to the rotor so when something thicker was inside the pump head I think it would slip. As stated previously this pump must be primed which could be difficult with something thicker. I have never pumped anything but beer through mine.

no, it can't do the larger sizes. Will do the standard size and the smaller size - like the small tomato sauce.

No it won't it's just for liquids anything thicker it won't mix. Just mixes doesn't blend.

I'd say that it can handle up to a 1/4 of inch with no problem anything thicker will be tougher. Hope this helps.

I've only used it on Aluminum drink cans as well. I would not expect that it can handle food cans or such like that though.

No at this time it works fine for vey liquid items - WD 40 etc - anything thicker and it is not a good spraying device

NOT leak proof!!!! I would put dry goods in it. If you are able to transport it while keeping it upright, then I would put thicker sauce in there, but definately nothing runny.

I bought mine for applesauce. The electric one needs a little adapting. The crank one comes with the problem solved. (you have to put something at the end of the spout to keep the pulp out of the sauce.)

Only if you mix it with something else! It's rather thick and viscous (think peanut butter), but it mixes with things like sesame oil, water, and vinegar pretty well. Just thin it down a bit and you could get it into a ketchup bottle no problem.

I don't think the unit would handle liquids well. Probably make a big mess.

It can handle something at most 3/8" thick at the base. The Macbook Pro is 0.95" thick. It's not going to work.

i dont see why not, liquid is only in contact with steel and the silicon o-ring. i think its unlikely that it would warp or expand and break the bottle join. it would get hot to hold though.

Yes, this could work well for that purpose. Keep in mind the cup capacity of this appliance. You won't want to fill it to the top with your sauce. As long as you do that, you should be fine. I've been able to get smooth purees-- it's great for that.

NO..small amounts work just fine. One thing is how hard you push the 'squisher' from the top, which moves the food from the top down to the grater or slicer. The lighter the pressure the finer your food will slice or grate. The harder you press will create a thicker slice or heaver grate. Cool?!!

Ed--we've only used the standard in ours so far. I think it can take thicker, but I do not have any to test that question. It's a great dispenser. Solved a lot of the problems we've had.

If it is too thick add something to it. Like apple which is a little more watery. I always combine fruits and veggies some thick with some thinner ones. hope this helps. I also add whole organic plan yogurt which thins it out too.

Probably, depending on how much lasagna and how thick your sauce is. Soupy sauce would leak out, otherwise it should be fine as long as you make sure it's closed correctly.
