When dealing with aggressive chemicals, flammable fluids, or high-value liquids, reliability and containment aren’t just nice to have—they’re essential. That’s where a magnetic drive pump, often called a mag drive pump, steps up. These pumps offer leak-free performance with zero shaft seals, making them ideal for high-risk fluid transfer where safety and precision matter.

At MultiTorque, we supply and service magnetic drive pumps across Australia, delivering high-efficiency solutions built to handle the harshest industrial environments.

Table of Contents

What Is a Magnetic Drive Pump?

A magnetic drive pump uses a magnetic coupling instead of a traditional shaft seal. Instead of a direct motor-to-impeller connection, two magnet sets (one on the motor, one on the impeller) transfer torque through a containment shell.

This seal-less design prevents leaks, reduces maintenance, and eliminates common failure points associated with mechanical seals.

How Magnetic Drive Pumps Work

The outer magnet is attached to the motor shaft.
The inner magnet, mounted to the impeller, spins in response.
A containment shell separates the two, ensuring zero fluid contact with the motor.

This simple but powerful design results in safer, more efficient operation—especially with corrosive or volatile substances.

Advantages of Magnetic Drive Pumps

✅ Leak-Free Design – No mechanical seals means no leaks, reducing environmental hazards and cleanup costs.

✅ Low Maintenance – Fewer moving parts mean reduced downtime and longer service life.

✅ Corrosion Resistance – Ideal for handling chemicals, acids, and caustic fluids.

✅ Energy Efficient – High-performance design ensures consistent flow with minimal power draw.

✅ Safety First – Great for explosive or flammable materials where leaks could be catastrophic.

✅ Compact & Quiet – Sleek, reliable operation with minimal noise.

Common Applications

Magnetic drive pumps are perfect for industries where contamination, corrosion, or volatile liquids pose a risk. These include:

🔹 Chemical processing
🔹 Pharmaceutical manufacturing
🔹 Mining – especially for acid dosing and reagent mixing
🔹 Oil & gas
🔹 Food & beverage – for sensitive liquid handling
🔹 Water treatment – for transferring chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, and other chemicals
🔹 Electronics manufacturing – where purity and containment are critical

Wherever there’s a need for precise, clean, and safe fluid transfer, magnetic drive technology excels.

What to Consider When Choosing a Magnetic Drive Pump

When selecting the right mag drive pump, consider:

Fluid type (corrosiveness, viscosity, temperature)
Required flow rate and head pressure
Material compatibility (PP, PVDF, stainless steel, etc.)
Installation type (horizontal, vertical, close-coupled)
ATEX compliance if used in explosive environments

When you need precise, pulse-free flow and dependable performance, a vane pump is one of the best choices available. Commonly used in fuel systems, hydraulic applications, and chemical transfer, vane pumps deliver consistent pressure, excellent suction capabilities, and long-term durability—even in demanding industrial settings.

At MultiTorque, we supply and service high-quality vane pumps across Australia, including custom systems tailored to mining, manufacturing, transport, and more. With 15+ years of pump expertise, we make sure your equipment runs at full torque, all day, every day.

Table of Contents

What Is a Vane Pump?

A vane pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses vanes mounted to a rotor. As the rotor turns inside a cavity, the vanes slide in and out to trap and move fluid from the inlet to the outlet.

Vane pumps are known for:

Smooth and quiet operation
Self-priming capabilities
Steady, low-pulsation flow
Excellent suction performance

They can handle a wide variety of fluids, from light oils and fuels to viscous chemicals and refrigerants.

How Vane Pumps Work

The rotor spins inside an offset cam ring, creating chambers that expand and contract as the vanes rotate. This action:

Draws fluid in through the inlet
Traps the fluid between vanes
Forces it out through the outlet under pressure

The vanes maintain contact with the cam ring through centrifugal force, springs, or hydraulic pressure, depending on the model.

Applications of Vane Pumps

Vane pumps are widely used across multiple industries due to their reliability and ability to handle both thin and thick fluids.

🔧 Common applications include:

Fuel transfer systems (diesel, petrol, aviation fuel)
Hydraulic power units
Chemical dosing and transfer
Lubrication systems
Refrigeration and HVAC systems
Automated spray and wash systems
Mobile machinery like road sweepers and mining trucks

Whether you’re running a fixed plant or a mobile setup, a vane pump provides the consistency your system needs.

Key Benefits of Vane Pumps

✅ Pulse-Free Output – Ideal for applications needing steady flow without fluctuations
✅ Self-Priming – Excellent suction for dry-start and intermittent flow conditions
✅ Compact Design – Space-saving in mobile or confined installations
✅ Wear-Resistant Options – Available in materials that handle corrosive or abrasive media
✅ Quiet Operation – Lower noise levels than many other pump types

When it comes to fire suppression, speed, reliability, and flow consistency are non-negotiable. In high-risk industries like mining, oil & gas, and remote operations, relying on gravity-fed systems or inconsistent pump pressure can put both assets and lives in danger. That’s why many professionals are turning to a positive displacement fire pump—the ideal solution for low-flow, high-pressure fire suppression applications.

At MultiTorque, we supply, service, and support positive displacement pumps designed specifically for demanding fire protection systems. Built tough, engineered for consistency, and ready when you need them most, these pumps offer a superior option where centrifugal pumps may fall short.

Table of Contents

What Is a Positive Displacement Fire Pump?

A positive displacement fire pump is a pump that moves a fixed amount of fluid with each rotation, stroke, or cycle. Unlike centrifugal pumps that rely on kinetic energy, positive displacement pumps trap fluid in a cavity and force it through the discharge line.

They are ideal for:

Systems requiring high pressure at low flow rates
Applications where viscous fire suppressant fluids are used
Situations that demand consistent volume output regardless of pressure changes

Types of Positive Displacement Pumps Used in Fire Systems

There are two main types commonly used in fire suppression setups:

1. Rotary Gear Pumps

These pumps use meshing gears to move fluid with precision. They are ideal for:

Diesel fuel delivery to fire pump engines
Lubricant or chemical injection systems
Compact and mobile suppression setups

2. Rotary Vane and Piston Pumps

Offering greater pressure capabilities, rotary vane and piston pumps are commonly used in:

Pre-engineered fire suppression systems
Remote installations with pressurized suppressant agents
Portable and vehicle-based fire units

Where Positive Displacement Fire Pumps Excel

Positive displacement fire pumps shine in niche fire suppression environments where centrifugal models may struggle.

1. Mobile Equipment Suppression
Heavy machinery like dozers and loaders often rely on pre-charged systems. A positive displacement pump delivers controlled fluid injection to extinguish fires quickly.

2. Fixed Remote Installations
In isolated or off-grid areas, pressure loss can’t be tolerated. These pumps deliver predictable output even when line resistance changes.

3. Viscous Agent Transfer
Foams, gels, and chemical suppressants can gum up centrifugal pumps. Positive displacement models handle thick or non-Newtonian fluids with ease.

4. Emergency Diesel Supply Systems
When a fire hits, your backup engine needs fuel—fast. Gear-driven pumps ensure your diesel delivery system is pressurized and ready.

The horizontal centrifugal pump is one of the most widely used pump types across industrial, agricultural, and commercial sectors. Known for its reliability, simplicity, and efficient performance, this pump style is ideal for moving large volumes of fluid with minimal fuss. If you’re in need of a cost-effective, high-flow pump solution, a horizontal centrifugal pump may be the perfect fit.

Table of Contents

What Is a Horizontal Centrifugal Pump?

A horizontal centrifugal pump is a dynamic pump where the shaft is mounted horizontally to the ground, and the motor and pump are aligned side-by-side. It uses a rotating impeller to transfer energy to the fluid, creating flow and pressure through centrifugal force. These pumps are a staple in fluid handling due to their ease of maintenance and suitability for a wide range of applications.

Unlike vertical pumps, horizontal centrifugal pumps are typically easier to access for servicing, require less overhead space, and can be mounted on skids, trailers, or bases for flexibility.

How Does It Work?

Horizontal centrifugal pumps operate on a simple principle: when the impeller rotates, it imparts kinetic energy to the fluid, pushing it outward through the pump casing and into the discharge line. The low-pressure area at the impeller’s eye draws more fluid into the pump, resulting in continuous flow.

The efficiency of this process makes horizontal centrifugal pumps ideal for transferring water, chemicals, slurries, and oil-based fluids in systems where a steady, high-volume flow is needed.

Advantages of Horizontal Centrifugal Pumps

1. Simple Design
Horizontal centrifugal pumps have fewer moving parts than positive displacement pumps, making them easier to maintain and less prone to mechanical failure.

2. Space Efficient
With the pump and motor mounted side-by-side, they are compact and ideal for installation in skid-based systems or equipment rooms.

3. High Flow Rates
Capable of moving large volumes of liquid quickly, they’re perfect for water transfer, irrigation, and processing.

4. Easy Maintenance
Their horizontal orientation provides easy access to internal components, allowing for faster repairs and part replacements.

5. Cost-Effective Operation
Low initial cost and low operating expenses make them a smart choice for high-duty cycle systems.

Common Applications

Horizontal centrifugal pumps are used in a wide variety of industries:

Water Treatment Plants: For pumping treated and untreated water

When it comes to transferring oil efficiently, gear pumps for oil are one of the most reliable and effective options available. Built for consistency and durability, these positive displacement pumps are used across industrial, automotive, and lubrication applications due to their ability to handle viscous fluids and deliver steady flow at high pressure.

Table of Contents

What Are Gear Pumps?

A gear pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses meshing gears to move fluids. These pumps work by trapping oil between the teeth of two rotating gears and the pump casing, then transferring it from the inlet side to the outlet side with precision.

Because gear pumps generate flow with tight internal clearances and minimal pulsation, they’re especially suited for handling viscous liquids like motor oil, hydraulic oil, gear lube, and synthetic lubricants.

How Gear Pumps Work

Gear pumps come in two main types:

External Gear Pumps: Feature two identical gears rotating against each other. Oil enters the pump as the gear teeth unmesh, creating a void. The oil is then carried around the outer casing and exits when the gears mesh again.
Internal Gear Pumps: Contain a larger outer gear and a smaller inner gear, offset inside the casing. These provide smoother, quieter operation and are ideal for applications requiring compact, low-noise designs.

Both types maintain a steady, pulse-free flow, making them ideal for metering and lubrication.

Why Gear Pumps Are Ideal for Oil

1. Viscosity Handling
Gear pumps thrive when dealing with viscous fluids. Whether it’s thick hydraulic oil or cold gear lube, these pumps provide smooth, continuous flow without performance loss.

2. High Pressure Capability
Many gear pumps can handle pressures up to 3000 psi, which is more than sufficient for oil transfer, circulation, and injection applications.

3. Compact Design
Gear pumps have a small footprint, making them ideal for installations where space is limited — such as skid-mounted units or mobile equipment.

4. Minimal Maintenance
Thanks to fewer moving parts and tight tolerances, gear pumps are known for their durability and long service intervals.

Common Applications of Gear Pumps for Oil

Hydraulic Oil Transfer: Used in mobile machinery, industrial systems, and hydraulic power units.
Engine Lubrication: Circulates oil in diesel engines and generators.
Industrial Lubrication Systems: Maintains flow in automated grease and oil lubrication systems.
Oil Filtration and Fuel Polishing: Transfers oil through filters to maintain clean systems.
Marine and Mining Equipment: Handles heavy-duty oil transfer and circulation in tough environments.

Selecting the Right Gear Pump

When choosing a gear pump for oil, consider:

Viscosity range of the oil being pumped
Required flow rate (usually measured in litres per minute)
System pressure
Temperature range
Material compatibility (cast iron, stainless steel, or bronze)

At MultiTorque, we help you match the right gear pump to your specific oil type, application, and operating conditions.

Gear Pump Maintenance Tips

Monitor for Wear: Over time, gears and internal clearances may wear, reducing efficiency. Inspect regularly.
Check Seals and Gaskets: Leaks around the shaft or casing can be resolved by replacing seals.
Use Clean Oil: Dirty oil accelerates wear. Use filters and perform oil changes as recommended.
Lubricate Bearings: Some gear pumps rely on oil-lubricated bearings. Keep them in top shape.

Preventative maintenance helps avoid unexpected breakdowns and keeps oil systems running at full capacity.
