The pump includes two pistons 10 each sliding in a cylinder 11. These are fed by a screw 21 through ports 12. Upon delivery, a rotary valve 6 turning in a bearing 1A2 in succession closes off and uncovers the passages 1A1 from the cylinders. This rotary valve 6 includes an axial bore 61 and a slot 62 through which the material collected from the cylinders passes in the direction of the outlet orifice of the pump.
