Gear Pump Power: 7 Unstoppable Reasons It’s the Backbone of Fluid Control in 2024
🔩 Gear Pump Power: 7 Unstoppable Reasons It’s the Backbone of Fluid Control in 2024
When precision meets raw power, you get one elite piece of equipment: the gear pump. If you’re moving oil, fuel, chemicals, or other viscous fluids, a high-quality gear pump delivers unmatched efficiency, reliability, and performance.
At MultiTorque, we don’t just supply gear pumps—we design, build, repair, and upgrade them for industrial legends across Australia. Let’s break down why this mechanical marvel continues to dominate the fluid-handling world.
⚙️ 1. What Is a Gear Pump?
A gear pump is a type of positive displacement pump. It uses two intermeshing gears to transfer fluid by displacement. As the gears rotate, they trap fluid between the gear teeth and the casing, moving it smoothly and with pressure from the suction side to the discharge side.
This simple, rugged design makes gear pumps ideal for:
-
High-pressure applications
-
Viscous fluids like oils, adhesives, or resins
-
Chemical dosing
-
Lubrication systems
🔥 2. Unmatched Pressure & Flow Control
A standard gear pump can deliver pressures of up to 3000 psi (or more, depending on the build) and handle fluids with viscosities up to 100,000 cP. You get a steady, pulseless flow, making it perfect for operations that demand control and consistency.
Whether you’re running hydraulic systems, transferring diesel, or dosing chemicals, this pump type brings you elite performance every time.
🛠️ 3. MultiTorque: Custom Gear Pump Solutions
Cookie-cutter isn’t our style. We manufacture custom gear pump systems mounted on:
-
Trailers
-
Skids
-
Generator-powered modules
-
Stainless or cast-iron frames
-
ATEX or hazardous zone configurations
Whether you’re in mining, oil & gas, agriculture, or manufacturing, MultiTorque can build the exact gear pump system you need—and we’ll do it tough.
💧 4. Gear Pump vs. Centrifugal Pump: Know the Difference
Not sure if you need a gear pump or a centrifugal pump? Here’s the simple breakdown:
Feature | Gear Pump | Centrifugal Pump |
---|---|---|
Flow Type | Constant, positive displacement | Variable, dynamic |
Ideal For | Thick/viscous fluids | Water and thin liquids |
Suction Strength | Strong | Moderate |
Pressure Handling | High | Medium |
When you’re working with oils, polymers, or chemicals, gear pumps win every time.
🔧 5. Full-Service Repairs & Upgrades
