Fluid-o-Tech Gear Water Pumps and Rotary Vane Pumps Increase in Popularity

Announcement posted by Pump Solutions Australasia 26 Sep 2013

Pump Solutions Australasia reveals why Fluid-o-Tech has become the first option for those who need rotary vane pumps and gear water pumps.
Perth, WA, September 26, 2013 - Pump Solutions Australasia is a premier importer of pumps from all over the world. They import pumps from countries across the globe and one of their most popular manufacturers is Fluid-o-Tech. Fluid-o-Tech started in 1948 in Italy and have since expanded operations to the US, Japan, China and finally Australia.

Fluid-o-Tech is well-known for being in the forefront of technological innovation, re-investing a great deal of their profits into research and development. Originally, they were more known for their expertise in the aeronautical, computing, textile and automotive industries. In 1976, they began making oscillating piston pumps and rotary vane pumps.

Fluid-o-Tech is now prominent for their work in the food and beverage industry, air conditioning, ultra-filtration and reverse osmosis. Their pumps still appear in motor vehicles for hydraulic applications and are also used in chemical plants, espresso machines, beverage vending machines, reverse osmosis systems and water dispensers.

Fluid-o-Tech has two popular designs: the gear water pump and the rotary vane pump. Both pumps work by the principle of positive displacement. Positive displacement pumps move fluids by mechanically trapping a fixed amount of fluid, then the fluid is displaced and moved into the discharge outlet.

A gear water pump moves liquids by pushing them between two gears. A rotary vane pump has a rotor with vanes sticking out. The vanes have a sliding mechanism that allows them to maintain contact with the inner wall of the pump, helping them push water in one direction. This creates a lowering of pressure at the intake opening and pushes water out of the discharge opening.

Their gear water pumps are available in two popular lines: the DGD09 and the DGM09. They are used for hydraulic fluid, chemicals, viscous fluids and clean water. The DGM09 can hold fluids as hot as 90 degrees centigrade and are modelled after Fluid-o-Tech's MG200 magnetic drive series.

The rotary vane pumps are available in five different series: stainless steel, brass, high volume, Compact and Compact Plus and the 4000 series. Rotary vane pumps are available in sizes small enough for an espresso machine or a fuel injector and large enough for heating and cooling. Some uses: ultra-filtration, reverse osmosis, espresso machines, water coolers, post-mix drink dispensers, water fountains and fuel injection systems.

According to Mike Hurlbatt, owner of Pump Solutions Australasia, Fluid-o-Tech is among the finest manufacturers in the world: “At Pump Solutions Australasia, our mission has always been to find the best, from standard water pumps for home use or food and beverage use right here in Perth, to the largest diaphragm pumps in the wastewater and chemical industries. It is our opinion that Fluid-o-Tech makes pumps that are as good as anyone in the world does.”

They have also consistently proven that they can be counted on to constantly tweak and improve their products that help evolve the industry.”
