Positive displacement internal gear pump · 60–6000 LPH · Up to 30 kg/cm² · Built-in relief valve
The IGX Series internal gear pump from Shubham Industries, Ahmedabad, is a positive displacement pump designed for controlled, stable transfer of fuel oil, hydraulic oil, lubrication oil, and oil-type process liquids. Unlike centrifugal pumps, the IGX delivers a steady, metered flow that is maintained across the pressure range, making it the correct specification for oil burner service, force-feed lubrication, hydraulic pressure duty, and fuel transfer where consistent delivery is essential. The IGX handles capacities from 60 LPH to 6000 LPH at 1440 RPM, at pressures up to 30 kg/cm², with a built-in pressure relief valve and external bypass arrangement. Available as a compact motor-pump group with flange and coupling parts. Manufactured at Kuha, Ahmedabad, Gujarat; ISO 9001:2015 certified since 1987.

How It Works
An internal gear pump uses two gears of different sizes rotating inside a common casing: a larger outer ring gear with internal teeth and a smaller inner gear with external teeth that meshes inside it. As the gears rotate, the unmeshed side creates an expanding cavity that draws liquid in, carries it around the casing between the gear teeth and casing wall, then pushes it out as the gears mesh again on the discharge side.
This positive displacement action delivers a steady, metered flow at a rate directly proportional to shaft speed. That makes IGX suitable for controlled oil transfer, oil burner service, force-feed lubrication, and hydraulic oil pressure duty where delivery must remain stable as pressure changes.
Centrifugal pumps lose flow as system back pressure increases. The IGX positive displacement action maintains a consistent delivery rate regardless of pressure, which is essential for oil burner service and force-feed lubrication systems where metered oil delivery is critical.
The internal gear principle is well suited for viscous oils because the gear and casing clearances seal effectively with higher viscosity liquids. Capacity is specified at 1440 RPM, so viscosity and temperature must be confirmed for accurate duty sizing.
The IGX includes a built-in pressure relief valve that limits system pressure and protects the pump, pipework, and connected equipment from over-pressure. External bypass arrangement is also available for relevant system configurations.
Configure IGX Series
IGX selection depends on liquid grade, viscosity, temperature, required capacity in LPH, pressure in kg/cm², and application duty. Use this builder to prepare your enquiry. Final model and material selection must be confirmed by Shubham Industries engineers before quotation.
IGX is for oil-type liquids only. Do not use IGX for water, aqueous liquids, corrosive chemicals, or liquids with suspended solids.
Standard IGX range: 60 LPH to 6000 LPH at 1440 RPM. Higher capacity available on request.
Standard pressure range: up to 30 kg/cm². Motor HP depends strongly on pressure duty.
Viscosity and temperature are required for correct gear pump sizing.

Applications
The IGX Series is used wherever stable, metered positive displacement transfer of oil-type liquids under pressure is required. Primary applications are oil burner service, force-feed lubrication, hydraulic systems, fuel transfer, and oil handling in industrial and energy plant settings.
Fuel oil supply to industrial and commercial oil burners and combustion equipment. The IGX delivers stable, pressure-controlled fuel oil flow for FO, HSD, LDO, and LSHS service.
Pressurised lubrication oil supply for machinery and equipment requiring force-feed lubrication systems, including gear, bearing, and journal lubrication under pressure.
Hydraulic drive and pressure pump service where controlled positive displacement supply is required against system back pressure.
Pressure and transfer pumping of diesel and fuel oil, including diesel locomotive booster pump service and filter pumping in fuel oil handling systems.
Gas oil, medium oil, heavy oil, and very heavy oil transfer where viscosity and temperature are confirmed at order stage for correct sizing.
LDO, FO, HSD, LSHS, lubrication oil, and hydraulic oil duties in compact motor-pump group assemblies for skid and panel mounting.
IGX is an internal gear pump for oil-type liquids only. For water and aqueous liquids, specify SCC or CMB centrifugal pumps. For clear chemical, solvent, or fuel transfer with self-priming requirement, specify SPX. For highly corrosive chemicals, specify CPP. For viscous food products, specify LBX. For dirty water and dewatering, specify SPA or SPM. For external gear pump duty, specify EGX; do not substitute IGX. Always confirm liquid, viscosity, temperature, and pressure before selecting pump type.
Selection Guide
Selecting between a gear pump, a centrifugal pump, and another positive displacement pump requires matching the pump type to the liquid and duty. The following comparisons cover the most common selection decisions for IGX.
Choose by duty
A centrifugal pump accelerates liquid using a rotating impeller, so flow rate drops as back pressure increases. An internal gear pump like the IGX maintains steady, metered flow across the pressure range because each shaft revolution displaces a fixed volume. For oil burner service, lubrication systems, and fuel transfer where consistent delivery is essential, IGX positive displacement is the correct specification.

Both IGX and LBX are positive displacement pumps delivering metered flow. The IGX is designed for oil-type liquids such as fuel oil, hydraulic oil, and lubrication oil in pressure service up to 30 kg/cm². The LBX is designed for hygienic viscous process duty. Choose IGX for fuel, lube, and hydraulic oil duty.
View LBX SeriesChoose by duty
The SPX is a self-priming centrifugal pump for clear liquids where flow rate and priming capability are more important than pressure consistency. The IGX is a positive displacement gear pump delivering stable metered oil flow at pressure for oil burner, lubrication, and hydraulic duty.
View SPX SeriesChoose by duty
Both IGX and EGX are gear-type positive displacement pumps from Shubham Industries, but they use different gear arrangements. IGX uses an internal gear arrangement. EGX uses two external meshing gears. Selection between IGX and EGX depends on capacity, pressure, viscosity, liquid, and application. Do not substitute one for the other without engineering confirmation.

An internal gear pump is a positive displacement pump that uses two gears: a larger outer ring gear with internal teeth and a smaller inner pinion gear with external teeth that meshes inside it. As the gears rotate, the unmeshed side creates an expanding cavity that draws liquid in between the gear teeth. The liquid is carried around the casing and pushed out as the gears mesh on the discharge side. This positive displacement action delivers a steady, metered flow at a rate proportional to shaft speed, maintained across the full pressure range.
