IMO 12L Series
MFG in Monroe, NC USA
Series 12L pumps are designed for very high pressure service primarily for compressor gas sealing, fluid power and hydrostatic bearing applications. Pumps are equipped with a steel case and balanced mechanical shaft seal. This series is believed to be the world's highest pressure capability three-screw pump.


Three-Screw Pumps
The Superior Pumping Technology
Discover our three-screw pumps - the clear choice for superior performance and versatility. The unique design with three interlocking spindles provides an extremely efficient and smooth flow, resulting in impressive overall efficiency.
In addition to excellent controllability, the self-priming pumps offer minimal pulsation and remarkably quiet operation, even at high discharge pressures.
Our three-screw pumps are true all-rounders, capable of handling a wide range of fluids of varying viscosities - from low-viscosity fluids to highly viscous substances. It’s robust design and the high wear resistance of the spindles ensure reliability and long life, making them the ideal choice for critical applications in a variety of industries.
- The world standard for gas sealing services on high pressure centrifugal compressors
- Operating noise levels typically below 75 dBA at full pressure
- Features replaceable housings to make repairs simple
- Case hardened thread ground screw set provides long life
