I need to find a supplier from whom I can purchase a small and very
quiet electric pump, one that will run at about 1/2 to 1 gallon per
minute. The fluid to be pumped is oil (sesame, coconut, olive) or
milk (buttermilk, coconut) or water.


An electric fuel pump for an old Volkwagen Bug would work nicely. $20-
$40 at an auto parts store. I've used them for a variety of
purposes. They'll pump water but I left one full of water for a
couple of months and it wouldn't work again. Probably not a good idea
for foods, though.



What gets pumped won't be digested nor placed into the body in any
way.

You might consider one of the many styles of condensate pumps
available. They will pump fluids with some solids and are
generally constructed of non-corrosive materials.

http://hartell.thomasnet.com/category/condensate-pumps?
for example.

Some of these sell for under $100 and will achieve the 1 GPM goal.

You can search a dazzling array of different types of pumps on eBay
for more resources.
