Orbit Pumps

Industrial Progressive Cavity Pumps. Up to 160m³/h at 80 Bar.

Orbit's Industrial B, D and GW progressive cavity pump ranges deliver pulse-free, gentle positive displacement for viscous, shear-sensitive and fibrous products. Self-priming, reversible, and capable of handling viscosities exceeding 1-million centipoise — pressure is independent of speed, making Orbit the choice for demanding industrial transfer applications.

Orbit Industrial D
Progressive Cavity

Orbit Industrial D

At the pumping system design stage, dedicated gauges, filling/flushing connections, non-return, isolating or pressure relief valves must be provided. A pressure relief valve is recommended on the outlet side due to the positive displacement nature.

Key Specs

  • Flow rates up to 160 m³/h
  • Pressures up to 80 bar
  • Inherently self-priming
  • Solid or hollow shaft option
  • Handles products with large percentage of entrained gas
  • Loose seal/gland arrangement
  • Simple and robust construction

Orbit GW Range
Progressive Cavity — Groundwater

Orbit GW Range

High load capability with angular contact thrust bearings in discharge head — pump setting depths up to 300m. Suitable for drive by electric motor (AC/DC/solar), petrol, diesel, tractor or rotary windmill. Rubber stabilisers centralise pump and columns firmly in the borehole to eliminate noise and vibration.

Key Specs

  • New FE design — improved performance and efficiency
  • Helical rotor technology
  • High developed head — irrigation directly from borehole
  • Pump setting depths up to 300m
  • Stainless steel flexible shaft and bearing pieces
  • Rubber stabilisers eliminate noise and vibration
  • Drive by electric, solar, diesel, petrol or windmill
  • Abrasion-resistant
