GVR Pompe

GVR Pompe S.r.l. is an established and respected Italian family-owned company specializing in the manufacture of gear pumps. The company was founded in 1956, and with more than 60 years of experience, it has established its position as a reliable supplier both in Italy and internationally. The company is family-owned and led by the Beltramini family.

Core business and product range

GVR Pompe focuses on positive displacement pumps, more specifically gear pumps. These pumps are very well suited for transferring viscous and lubricating liquids, as long as the liquid does not contain solid particles or abrasive substances. The product range is comprehensive and includes different types of gear pumps designed to meet a wide range of industrial needs:

• Close-coupled gear pumps, models BMF and BCF: Compact, durable and versatile pumps with an integrated electric motor. These pump models are suitable for liquids with a viscosity of 1 to 1,000 cSt.
• High-pressure gear pumps, model APF: Designed for applications that require higher pressure, up to 25 bar. This model series is designed for slightly lower flow rates.
• Gear pump with coupling lantern, model BFC: A pump model with a coupling lantern used to connect the pump to the motor.
• Low-viscosity gear pump, model IF: Optimized for efficient pumping of low-viscosity liquids.
• Bare shaft gear pump with its own feet, model B: A pump without a motor, offering flexibility for installation, for example with the customer’s own motor.
• Long-coupled gear pumps with motor, models MBM and MBMC: Complete units where the pump and motor are pre-installed on a strong steel baseplate, simplifying installation.
• Gear pump with heating chamber, model BC: Specifically designed for liquids that require heating to control viscosity or maintain process temperature.
• ATEX-certified gear pumps: Models are available for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Construction materials

• Cast iron: Durable and cost-effective for general use.
• Bronze: Excellent corrosion resistance, especially in seawater applications.
• AISI 316 acid-resistant stainless steel: Excellent corrosion resistance when handling chemicals and food products.
• Duplex steel: For applications requiring higher corrosion resistance.
• Shafts and gears are usually made from steel or stainless/acid-resistant steel. Mechanical shaft seals, gland packing or lip seals are used depending on the application.
