What LIQUIFLO does

Liquiflo Equipment Company is a privately held specialty manufacturer of industrial gear pumps and centrifugal pumps, founded in 1972 and headquartered at 443 North Avenue, Garwood, New Jersey. The company designs and builds pumps specifically for the chemical processing industry, using high-alloy materials (316 Stainless Steel, Alloy-C, Titanium), magnetic-drive sealless technology, fluoropolymer-lined (PFA) construction, and a patented Air-Barrier architecture (Endura AB-Series) that enables indefinite dry running and solids handling up to 40%. Its product portfolio spans six gear-pump series (H, 3, Max, Poly-Guard/P, 4, 2) and three centrifugal-pump series (Centry, Endura AB, Endura MC), covering flows from 30 GPH in ultra-low-flow dosing applications up to 770 GPM in full ANSI Group I & II installations, with differential pressures up to 350 PSI and viscosities from 0.3 to over 100,000 cP. The company holds two registered patents (Air-Barrier and Dual-Kan temperature control) and received the 1995 Vaaler Award from Chemical Processing Magazine.

Liquiflo generates revenue through hardware sales of pumps, aftermarket parts (repair kits, replacement cartridges, accessories), and ancillary products (relief valves). Pricing is quote-based via an Online Application Data Sheet form reviewed by application engineers, and commercial terms are described as multi-year contract oriented. Distribution is hybrid: direct sales for engineered applications supported by in-house application engineers, alongside a worldwide network of USA and international distributors that provide regional sales, application support, and aftermarket service. The company maintains a single manufacturing/headquarters facility in Garwood, NJ and reports a headcount in the 1-10 range. Its primary served vertical is chemical processing (chemical plants, refineries, fertilizers), with secondary exposure to pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, OEM equipment manufacturers, and municipal water/wastewater.

The company's stated end-markets span 17 industrial verticals (adhesives, coatings, steel mills, metal finishing, mining, pulp & paper, textiles, etc.), but its competitive positioning is narrowly focused on corrosive, hazardous, and high-purity fluid-handling applications where sealless reliability, chemical compatibility, and customization matter more than scale or digital integration. There is no public revenue disclosure, no external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no M&A history, and no software/API surface — the business is a classic, stable niche industrial equipment manufacturer.

Core offering

LIQUIFLO manufactures industrial gear pumps and centrifugal pumps from high-alloy materials (316 Stainless Steel, Alloy-C, Titanium) specifically engineered for chemical processing applications. The product line covers six gear pump series (H, 3, Max, Poly-Guard P, 4, 2) with flows up to 55 GPM and differential pressures up to 350 PSI, plus centrifugal pump lines (Centry, Endura AB, Endura MC) covering flows up to 770 GPM. Pumps are offered in sealed or magnetic-drive configurations and are designed to handle corrosive chemicals including acids, caustics, solvents, and polymers, complemented by relief valves and aftermarket parts.

Product overview

LIQUIFLO is a manufacturer of industrial positive displacement and centrifugal pumps specifically designed for the chemical processing industry since 1972. The product portfolio consists of two main pump categories: Gear Pumps (H-Series, 3-Series, Max-Series, Poly-Guard P-Series, 4-Series, and 2-Series) and Centrifugal Pumps (Centry-Series and Endura Series including AB and MC sub-series). Gear pumps range from ultra-low flow (2-Series at 30 GPH max) to heavy-duty industrial applications (H-Series at 55 GPM max), while centrifugal pumps cover sub-ANSI to full ANSI Group I & II applications (up to 770 GPM). All pumps are manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials (316 Stainless Steel, Alloy-C, Titanium) with multiple sealing options (mechanical seals, magnetic drives) and are designed to handle chemicals including acids, caustics, solvents, and polymers. The company also offers ancillary products including relief valves.
