Europe consumes around 80 kg of paper per person, with over 50% made from recycled material. Paper manufacturing and recycling are major industries. While it would be an exaggeration to say they couldn’t function without Gorman-Rupp pumps, our solutions play a crucial role in every paper processing plant.
The paper industry relies on large volumes of recirculated water, often containing metal residues, fibers, and various chemicals. These elements can cause clogging, wear, and corrosion, leading to downtime and inefficiencies.
To keep your paper plant running reliably and without interruptions, you need pumps that can handle these challenges.
Our high-volume, self-priming pumps are built to meet the tough demands of the paper and pulp industry. Designed for durability, they resist wear and corrosion while operating day in, day out. The proprietary Gorman-Rupp Eradicator solids-handling system further reduces the risk of clogging, making our pumps the ideal choice for paper manufacturing and recycling.
For reliable pumping solutions in your paper plant, count on Gorman-Rupp.
Reliable, efficient, and easy to maintain- Gorman-Rupp self-priming pumps handle liquids containing air, solids, and debris while keeping maintenance hassle-free. Thanks to automatic repriming, they continue running even if the suction line is completely empty. Their above-ground installation ensures easy servicing, eliminating the need for confined space entry.
Designed for demanding conditions, Gorman-Rupp dry-prime pumps automatically remove air from the suction line, allowing for immediate pumping without manual priming. They deliver high flow rates, large solids handling, strong suction power, and energy-efficient operation- ideal for tough applications that require reliability and quick deployment.
The most widely used pump type, centrifugal pumps operate with rotating impellers to create a steady fluid flow. Known for their simple design, minimal moving parts, and smooth operation, they provide a cost-effective solution for general fluid transfer. Available in various sizes and materials, Gorman-Rupp standard centrifugal pumps ensure high efficiency and consistent performance.
Built for precise and controlled fluid movement, rotary gear pumps use interlocking gears to transfer liquids with a steady, pulsation-free flow. Gorman-Rupp rotary gear pumps are ideal for handling thick, high-viscosity fluids such as oils, lubricants, paints, and chemicals. Their positive displacement mechanism ensures accurate dosing, making them a reliable choice for applications that demand precision.
A ready-to-use pumping solution for maximum flexibility. Whether electric-driven, diesel-powered, or battery-operated, our pump sets come pre-assembled for quick deployment. Available in both mobile and stationary configurations, they offer easy setup, reliable operation, and long service life.
More than just a pump- Gorman-Rupp pump systems are fully engineered solutions integrating self-priming pumps, protective enclosures, and intelligent self-cleaning technology. Designed for above-ground installation, they provide seamless, low-maintenance operation while eliminating the need for deep pits, submerged components, and expensive servicing.
The paper and pulp industry uses self-priming pumps, prime assisted pumps, standard centrifugal pumps, and rotary gear pumps. Self-priming pumps are particularly well suited for handling the large volumes of recirculated water that contain fibers, metal residues, and chemicals typical in paper manufacturing.
Paper production relies on large volumes of recirculated water that contain metal residues, fibers, and various chemicals. These elements can accumulate in the pump, causing blockages that lead to unplanned downtime. Pumps selected for paper applications need adequate solids handling capability and clog-resistant designs to maintain continuous operation.
The Eradicator is a proprietary Gorman-Rupp solids management system designed to reduce the risk of clogging in self-priming pumps. It helps prevent fibrous materials and debris from wrapping around the impeller, which is particularly relevant in paper and pulp applications where the process water contains high levels of fiber and solid contaminants.
Self-priming pumps handle liquids containing air, solids, and debris, and reprime automatically if the suction line runs empty. In paper plants, this means reliable operation during varying process conditions without manual intervention. Their above-ground installation also allows direct access for inspection and maintenance without confined space entry.
The recirculated water in paper production often contains metal residues, chemical additives, and abrasive fiber particles. These elements cause abrasive wear on internal pump surfaces and, depending on the chemical composition, can lead to corrosion. Pump selection should account for these factors through appropriate materials and construction.
Yes. Recycled paper processing introduces additional contaminants such as inks, adhesives, staples, and plastic fragments into the water stream. Gorman-Rupp self-priming pumps with the Eradicator system are designed to handle these solids-laden fluids while reducing the risk of clogging and maintaining reliable operation.
For thick, high-viscosity fluids such as coatings, adhesives, or chemical additives used in paper production, Gorman-Rupp rotary gear pumps provide a steady, pulsation-free flow with accurate dosing capability. Their positive displacement mechanism makes them suitable for applications that require controlled, precise fluid transfer.
Yes. Gorman-Rupp offers pump sets as complete units with pump, drive, and frame in electric, diesel, or battery-powered configurations. For permanent installations, fully engineered pump systems such as the Reliasource / SCS integrate self-priming pumps with self-cleaning sump technology for low-maintenance, above-ground operation.
Pump selection for paper plant applications depends on the fluid composition, fiber and solids content, required flow rate and head, chemical environment, and installation conditions. Gorman-Rupp Europe provides application engineering support to determine the right pump type, materials, and configuration for your specific duty point.
Yes. Gorman-Rupp Europe provides engineering-driven application support for paper and pulp industry projects, including pump selection, system analysis, local assembly, testing, and commissioning assistance from its European facilities. Training is also available through the Gorman-Rupp Academy.
