FLUID-O-TECH

Fluid-o-Tech is an Italian manufacturer of rotary vane pumps and fluid handling components, with a product history spanning several decades in the industrial pump sector. The company's core technology is the rotary vane principle, which uses sliding vanes in a rotor to move low-viscosity fluids with a pulseless flow and self-priming capability. Fluid-o-Tech produces both direct-drive and magnetic-drive configurations, and offers pump bodies in stainless steel and other materials to suit different fluid compatibility requirements. The pumps are commonly specified for clean, non-abrasive, non-aggressive liquids in applications where consistent flow and compact size are important.

About FLUID-O-TECH

Fluid-o-Tech is an Italian manufacturer of rotary vane pumps and fluid handling components, with a product history spanning several decades in the industrial pump sector. The company's core technology is the rotary vane principle, which uses sliding vanes in a rotor to move low-viscosity fluids with a pulseless flow and self-priming capability. Fluid-o-Tech produces both direct-drive and magnetic-drive configurations, and offers pump bodies in stainless steel and other materials to suit different fluid compatibility requirements. The pumps are commonly specified for clean, non-abrasive, non-aggressive liquids in applications where consistent flow and compact size are important.

3G Electric supplies Fluid-o-Tech rotary vane pumps across a range of motor sizes and port configurations. The current catalog includes stainless steel body pumps with 1/3 hp, 1/2 hp, 1 hp, and 2 hp motors, operating on 115/230V AC single-phase power. Port sizes include 3/8" NPT, 1/2" NPT, and 1" NPT, allowing integration with various piping systems. Both direct-drive and magnetic-drive variants are available. Magnetic-drive models eliminate shaft seals, which reduces the risk of leakage in applications where containment is a concern. Direct-drive models use a mechanical seal and are suited to standard transfer duties. Strainers are not included with these pumps, so suction-side filtration should be specified separately if required.

Fluid-o-Tech pumps are used in industrial fluid handling systems, water treatment, cooling loops, and other processes involving low-viscosity fluids. The stainless steel body construction provides corrosion resistance for many aqueous and mildly aggressive solutions, though the pumps are not intended for abrasive slurries or highly viscous media. The rotary vane design offers self-priming and can run dry for short periods, but continuous dry running should be avoided. Motor enclosures are typically totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) for general-purpose industrial environments, though specific IP ratings should be confirmed per model.

3G Electric supports the Fluid-o-Tech line with multiple SKUs in stock, including repair kits and replacement parts. The company ships globally and provides logistics support for both standard and expedited orders. For technical selection, buyers should confirm fluid compatibility, viscosity range, required flow and pressure, port size, and motor voltage. 3G Electric can assist with cross-referencing manufacturer part numbers and identifying the appropriate pump or repair kit for a given application. The product range covers common industrial needs, but custom configurations or special materials may require lead time. All pumps are supplied as described in the product listing, and buyers should verify that the selected model meets their specific operating conditions.

Common Applications

  • Water treatment — Fluid-o-Tech stainless steel rotary vane pump for transferring clean water and mild aqueous solutions in dosing or circulation loops.
  • Industrial cooling — Magnetic-drive Fluid-o-Tech pump for leak-free circulation of low-viscosity coolants in closed-loop systems.
  • Chemical transfer — Direct-drive Fluid-o-Tech pump with stainless steel body for compatible non-aggressive chemicals in batch transfer.
  • Food and beverage — Fluid-o-Tech rotary vane pump for moving clean, non-abrasive liquids where stainless steel construction is required.
  • Laboratory and pilot systems — Small-frame Fluid-o-Tech pump (1/3 hp or 1/2 hp) for precise fluid handling in test rigs and pilot plants.
  • OEM equipment — Fluid-o-Tech pump integrated into original equipment for continuous duty transfer of low-viscosity fluids.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about FLUID-O-TECH from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between Fluid-o-Tech direct-drive and magnetic-drive rotary vane pumps?

Direct-drive Fluid-o-Tech pumps use a mechanical shaft seal to separate the motor from the pump chamber. Magnetic-drive models use a magnetic coupling to transmit torque through a sealed barrier, eliminating the shaft seal and reducing leak paths. Magnetic-drive pumps are often chosen for fluids where leakage is a concern or where seal wear would increase maintenance. Direct-drive pumps are simpler and typically used for standard transfer duties. Both types are available in stainless steel body construction with 115/230V AC motors.

What motor sizes and port sizes are available for Fluid-o-Tech stainless steel rotary vane pumps from 3G Electric?

The current catalog includes Fluid-o-Tech stainless steel body pumps with 1/3 hp, 1/2 hp, 1 hp, and 2 hp motors. Port sizes include 3/8" NPT, 1/2" NPT, and 1" NPT. Both direct-drive and magnetic-drive configurations are offered. Motor voltage is 115/230V AC single-phase. Strainers are not included with these pumps. Specific model availability may vary, so buyers should confirm the exact SKU and configuration when requesting a quote.

Are Fluid-o-Tech rotary vane pumps self-priming?

Yes, Fluid-o-Tech rotary vane pumps are self-priming. The rotary vane design creates suction as the vanes sweep the pump chamber, allowing the pump to draw fluid from a source below the pump inlet. However, the pump should not be run dry for extended periods, as the vanes rely on the pumped fluid for lubrication and cooling. For initial priming, it is good practice to fill the pump chamber with fluid before startup. Suction line sizing and lift should be checked against the pump's specifications.

What fluids can Fluid-o-Tech stainless steel rotary vane pumps handle?

Fluid-o-Tech stainless steel body rotary vane pumps are designed for clean, non-abrasive, non-aggressive fluids with low viscosity. Typical applications include water, water-based solutions, and mild chemicals compatible with the pump's wetted materials. They are not suitable for abrasive slurries, highly viscous fluids, or fluids that would attack the stainless steel or internal components. Buyers should verify chemical compatibility for their specific fluid. If the fluid contains particulates, a suction strainer or filter should be installed upstream to protect the pump.

Does 3G Electric supply repair kits for Fluid-o-Tech pumps?

Yes, 3G Electric supplies repair kits and replacement parts for Fluid-o-Tech rotary vane pumps. Repair kits typically include vanes, seals, and other wear components. When ordering a repair kit, provide the pump's manufacturer part number (MPN) or the SKU from the original purchase to ensure the correct kit is supplied. 3G Electric can assist with identifying the appropriate kit if the MPN is not available. Availability and lead time for repair kits may vary by model.

What should I check before ordering a Fluid-o-Tech pump from 3G Electric?

Before ordering, confirm the required flow rate and discharge pressure at your operating conditions, the fluid viscosity and compatibility with wetted materials, the suction conditions (lift and line size), the port size needed for your piping, and the available motor voltage. Also decide between direct-drive and magnetic-drive based on leakage risk and maintenance preferences. Check whether a strainer is needed on the suction side. Provide the manufacturer part number if known. 3G Electric can help cross-reference MPNs and verify that the selected model meets your specifications.
