With over 100 years of pump making expertise Albany Engineering recently introduced new technology into their rotary gear pump designs. Investing in SolidWorks® CAD software has enabled Albany to find new ways of simplifying pump design. Based on fewer components, the RightGear® design enables Albany to increase their range of pumps whilst reducing their stock holding. This means even more choice for customers, rapid manufacturing and reduced spares stock.

RightGear® was launched at ACHEMA 2009 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany from 11th – 15th May and is part of a broad range of pump solutions from Albany Engineering. On show are Albany’s double helical pulsation free pumps and working models of high capacity twin screw pumps. Also on display were corrosion resistant Stanwin stainless and the economical FF range of nylon pumps.
With pumping volumes from 5 l/min – 1000 m³/hr and operating pressures reaching 40 bar, Albany pumps have been reliably transporting materials including molasses, fuel oil, sea water, bitumen, liquid wax and chocolate for decades.
