Try a GlobalSpec search, or a google search for "sludge pump" or "slurry pump".

Talk to some manufacturers/suppliers. If you specify your needs, and what they supply is not fit for purpose, they'll have to come & take it away & give you the money back - possibly with compensation.

Lobe pumps are sometimes used to pump strawberry jam, among other highly viscous things. They are positive displacement pumps, and therefore the downstream pipework requires careful consideration during the HazOp Study.
