What Is an Orbit Pump?

The Orbit pump is a progressive cavity pump designed for heavy-duty applications. Unlike centrifugal pumps that rely on high-speed impellers, progressive cavity pumps move fluid through a series of sealed cavities. This creates a smooth, low-pulsation flow that’s ideal for handling viscous, abrasive, or shear-sensitive fluids.

Orbit pumps are especially valued in industries where durability and reliability matter most. Their design reduces wear and tear, making them a trusted choice for continuous operation. Whether it’s in mining, wastewater treatment, or oil and gas, Orbit pumps deliver consistent performance even under challenging conditions.

Key Advantages of Orbit Pumps

Choosing an Orbit pump offers several benefits over other types of pumping systems:

Reliability in Harsh Environments
Orbit pumps are engineered to handle abrasive slurries, viscous fluids, and even fluids with suspended solids. This makes them perfect for industries like mining and wastewater management.
Smooth, Low-Pulsation Flow
Progressive cavity designs ensure a consistent flow, protecting downstream equipment and ensuring product quality.
Durability and Long Service Life
Built with wear-resistant materials, Orbit pumps can withstand the demands of heavy-duty industrial use, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Versatility Across Fluids
From chemicals and sludge to oils and wastewater, an Orbit pump can handle a wide range of fluid types without performance loss.

Industries That Rely on Orbit Pumps

Orbit pumps play a vital role in multiple sectors across Australia:

Mining: For transferring slurries, tailings, and other abrasive fluids.
Oil & Gas: For reliable handling of crude oil, drilling fluids, and other hydrocarbons.
Water & Wastewater: For pumping sludge, effluent, and other difficult-to-manage fluids.
Food & Beverage: For shear-sensitive fluids where product integrity is critical.
Chemical Processing: For safe and consistent transfer of corrosive or viscous chemicals.

Their versatility means that wherever durability and flow consistency are critical, an Orbit pump is often the preferred solution.
