The low noise and high volumetric efficiency of the Voith IPC gear pumps is made possible by the use of the internal gear principle, combined with plain bearings, sealing gap compensation (radial and axial), and involute gearing. These design features create a gear pump useable in variable-speed drives that is efficient, has very low flow pulsation and pressure pulsation, great suction capabilities, operates with a wide range of viscosities at a wide range of speeds, and can be driven by a motor. Combined pumps are available. Compact footprint, light weight, energy recovery and easy maintenance describe the Voith IPC gear pump.
