Introduction
If you need a Gear Pump Supplier in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar or Oman, Pokhara Motors (Pokhara Trading LLC-SP) is the leading gear pump supplier across the GCC region.
With over fourteen years supplying industrial pumps to the UAE and the wider Gulf, we’re the first point of contact for engineers, procurement teams, and industrial operators who need gear pumps delivered fast and backed by full technical support.
Gear pumps are positive displacement pumps: they use meshing rotating gears to move liquid from inlet to outlet, giving a steady, pulse-free flow even with thick or difficult fluids.
Whether you need a stainless steel gear pump for food industry use, a jacketed gear pump for bitumen transfer, a heavy-duty cast iron gear pump for a hydraulic system, or an injection gear pump for chemical applications, you’ll find the right model in our range.
How Does a Gear Pump Work?
A gear pump is a positive displacement pump that moves liquid by trapping fluid between rotating gears and the pump casing. As the gears rotate they carry the fluid from the inlet toward the discharge side.
Unlike a centrifugal pump which depends on velocity generated by an impeller a gear pump delivers a more controlled volume of fluid with each rotation. This makes gear pumps particularly useful when the application requires consistent flow or when the liquid is too viscous for a conventional centrifugal pump. The actual flow depends on factors such as pump displacement, rotational speed, fluid viscosity, pressure and internal clearances.
For this reason selecting a gear pump isn’t simply about choosing a pump with the required motor power. The fluid and operating conditions need to be considered first. For a deeper technical breakdown of how positive displacement pumps work, the Hydraulic Institute’s pump guide is a useful independent reference.
Internal Gear Pump vs External Gear Pump
Not every gear pump has the same internal arrangement.
External gear pumps use two external gears that rotate together to transfer fluid from the suction side to the discharge side. They are widely used for hydraulic systems, lubrication, fuel transfer and industrial fluid handling. Internal gear pumps use an internal gear arrangement where one gear rotates inside another. This configuration can be useful for handling viscous fluids and applications where smooth fluid transfer is required.
The right configuration depends on the fluid properties, required flow, pressure, temperature and application. When choosing a Gear Pump supplier in UAE, ask for the pump type that matches the actual fluid rather than selecting a model only from the required flow rate.
How Viscosity Affects Gear Pump Selection
Viscosity is one of the most important factors when selecting an industrial gear pump.
Low-viscosity liquids behave very differently from heavy fluids such as bitumen, oils, resins and certain chemical products. Gear pumps are well suited to many high-viscosity applications because their positive displacement operating principle allows them to move thick fluids while maintaining controlled flow.
However very high viscosity can also increase the torque required to rotate the pump. Pump speed may need to be reduced and the motor may need to be sized accordingly. This is why the supplier should know the minimum, normal and maximum viscosity of the fluid whenever possible. For example the Pokhara Motors stainless steel rotary gear pump range currently lists viscosity handling up to 100,000 cSt depending on the application and model.
Flow Rate and Pressure Matter Together
A common mistake is to select a gear pump based only on flow rate. A pump that needs to deliver 20 m³/hr at low pressure has a different requirement from one that needs to deliver the same flow against a much higher discharge pressure.
The supplier needs to consider:
- Required flow rate
- Operating pressure
- Maximum pressure
- Fluid viscosity
- Fluid temperature
- Pump speed
- Motor power
- Suction conditions
- Required connection size
- Operating hours
Flow rate is normally specified in L/min or m³/hr while pressure may be specified in bar. Providing both values gives the supplier a much better basis for selecting the pump.
Gear Pumps for Bitumen and Heavy Fluids
Bitumen and asphalt applications require special attention because the fluid becomes highly viscous and temperature-sensitive. A conventional pump may not be suitable for transferring heavy bitumen efficiently.
Jacketed gear pumps can be used for applications where the fluid needs to remain at an appropriate temperature to maintain flow. Heating around the pump and relevant connections can help prevent the product from becoming too viscous during transfer. Pokhara Motors’ current gear pump offering specifically identifies jacketed gear pumps for bitumen transfer and asphalt applications.
When specifying a bitumen gear pump provide the required flow rate, operating temperature, viscosity, pressure and transfer conditions.
Stainless Steel Gear Pumps for Food and Chemical Applications
Material selection becomes important when the pumped liquid can react with the pump body or when hygienic handling is required. Stainless steel gear pumps can be suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical and other applications where corrosion resistance and cleanability are important.
Pokhara Motors currently offers an SS304/SS316 rotary gear pump with CIP compatibility, an FDA-compliant seal option and connections including Tri-Clamp, BSP and flange configurations.
The correct material should still be selected according to the actual fluid, concentration, temperature and cleaning process.

Gear Pump Applications in UAE Industries
Gear pumps can be used across many industrial sectors in the UAE because different industries need controlled transfer of oils, chemicals, food products, bitumen and other liquids. Common applications include:
Oil and Gas
Gear pumps can be used for lubrication, fuel transfer, oil handling and certain process applications where the pump specifications match the fluid and pressure requirements.
Asphalt and Construction
Jacketed gear pumps can be used to transfer bitumen and other heavy materials in asphalt plants and infrastructure projects.
Food and Beverage
Stainless steel gear pumps can be used for controlled transfer of viscous food products when the pump construction, seals and connections meet the application’s hygiene requirements.
Chemical Processing
Chemical-resistant materials and suitable seals are important when handling aggressive liquids.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Hygienic stainless steel construction and appropriate sealing can be important where contamination control is required.
Manufacturing and Machinery
Gear pumps are also used for lubrication, hydraulic systems and fluid circulation in industrial machinery.
How to Choose the Right Gear Pump
Before contacting a Gear Pump supplier in UAE, prepare the following information:
- Fluid: What liquid are you pumping?
- Viscosity: What is the viscosity in cSt?
- Flow: How many L/min or m³/hr are required?
- Pressure: What is the normal and maximum discharge pressure?
- Temperature: What is the minimum and maximum fluid temperature?
- Speed: What RPM will the pump operate at?
- Material: Is cast iron, carbon steel or stainless steel appropriate?
- Seal: What seal material is compatible with the fluid?
- Connections: What suction and discharge connection is required?
- Duty: Will the pump run continuously or intermittently?
The more complete this information is the easier it becomes to select the correct pump.
Common Gear Pump Problems
A gear pump can experience problems when the pump is incorrectly selected, installed or operated. Common symptoms include:
- Low flow
- Excessive noise
- High motor load
- Leakage
- Excessive temperature
- Reduced pressure
- Premature gear wear
- Seal failure
- Cavitation or suction problems
These symptoms don’t always mean the pump itself is defective. Incorrect viscosity, blocked suction lines, excessive pressure, poor alignment, incorrect speed or unsuitable seals can all affect performance. If a gear pump isn’t performing as expected the complete system should be checked rather than replacing the pump immediately.
