In the world of industrial fluid handling, reliability and precision are everything. When it comes to moving viscous, abrasive, or delicate fluids at a consistent rate, few technologies rival the strength and accuracy of positive displacement pumps.
At MultiTorque, we supply, service, and support a wide range of positive displacement pumps across Australia—from food-grade processing plants to heavy-duty mining operations. With over 15 years of experience and locations in Perth and Brisbane, we deliver pump solutions built to last, no matter the application.
What Is a Positive Displacement Pump?
Unlike centrifugal pumps, which rely on velocity and pressure changes, positive displacement pumps move fluid by trapping a fixed volume and forcing (displacing) it through the system. This ensures a consistent flow regardless of pressure variations, making them ideal for applications where precision and power are critical.
There are two main categories:
-
Rotary Positive Displacement Pumps (e.g. gear, screw, vane)
-
Reciprocating Positive Displacement Pumps (e.g. piston, diaphragm, plunger)
These pumps are known for their ability to:
-
Handle high-viscosity fluids
-
Operate effectively at high pressures
-
Deliver consistent flow rates
-
Tolerate fluids with solids or abrasives
Key Benefits of Positive Displacement Pumps
Here’s why industries across Australia rely on these powerful systems:
1. Flow Consistency
Whether you’re moving honey, crude oil, or sludge, a positive displacement pump delivers a steady stream. This reliability is crucial in industries like food processing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
2. Self-Priming Capability
These pumps can evacuate air from the suction line and start pumping without needing external assistance—a major win in mobile and remote setups.
3. High Pressure Performance
Positive displacement pumps can generate significant pressure with minimal flow rate fluctuation, making them perfect for spray systems, injection applications, and oil transfers.
4. Fluid Versatility
They can handle everything from water-thin solvents to molasses-thick chemicals—without skipping a beat.
5. Compact & Efficient
These pumps are often more compact than their centrifugal counterparts for the same duty, making them perfect for tight industrial setups.
