ROTAN internal gear pump for self-priming, pulsation-free transfer of high-viscosity media such as resins, paints, syrups, asphalt and edible oils across chemical, petrochemical, food and paper industries, with reversible flow direction and back-pull-out design for easy maintenance.
A leading manufacturer of internal gear pumps
A/S SE SMITHSKE, founded in 1834, became known worldwide for its DESM-brand products. ROTAN pumps, manufactured by DESMI ROTAN, are distributed across the globe through its subsidiaries, agents and distributors.
In 1915 a Danish-American immigrant invented the working principle of the internal gear pump. In 1921 a Danish company was licensed to manufacture this type of gear pump and promoted it worldwide under the ROTAN brand. The standardized structural design of the ROTAN pump has become today's widely recognized state-of-the-art internal gear pump design.
The ROTAN internal gear pump provides favorable flow conditions, since a change of flow direction requires only a minor adjustment to the pump. This delivers exceptional self-priming capability and smooth, steady transfer, while also handling high-viscosity media.
