Echidna Gear Pumps

Robust Positive displacement gear pumps for liquid transfer, factory process pumping, viscous fluids with particulates.

ECHIDNA Gear Pumps

The tough solution for high-volume pumping of viscous fluids like tallow, sludge, bitumen, glue, waste, oil, molasses, feed-mix, resin etc.

Large capacity positive displacement pumps suitable for liquid transfer, factory process pumping and lubrication duties in corrosive and abrasive environments.

For more than 20 years Echidna Pumps have been used for bulk liquid transfer around Australia. In that time they have developed a loyal following in the trucking of molasses and feedlot supplement. Why? Because they work: High-flow, cost effective and durable with a ready supply of aftermarket options and replacement parts.

Echidna Pumps are a popular replacement upgrade for older AJAX pumps.

C&C offer a range of custom options for these heavy-duty pumps - portable skids, electric drives, torque-limiting clutches and a range of seal and packing types.

Pumping molasses isn't easy...

The liquid transport industry requires high flow rates and reliability. Other pumps on the market quickly fail when used to pump Molasses-based supplement mix. Highly viscous, corrosive and abrasive mixtures are terrible for operational lifespan so Echidna have developed specialised pumps for the demands of bulk liquid haulage. Echidna combines high flow rate with durability and cheap replacement servicing.

Echidna Pumps are over-engineered for demanding applications: molasses-based feed supplements, bitumen, tallow, resin, food bi-products, oils, sludge, adhesives, and other high-viscosity fluids that might contain impurities and abrasives. Unlike most bitumen pumps, Echidna's unique lobe design can easily handle foreign objects that are commonly found in supplement feed mix.

The latest generation of Echidna pumps have significant improvements, but are still compatible with older designs. They now feature large external bearings, stronger seals, improved durability and simpler servicing. Existing customers can use new parts to upgrade older pumps.
