GNX Series Sliding Vane Pumps & Reducers

Innovative, Reduced-Speed Positive Displacement Pump for Non-Corrosive Liquids and Petroleum Products

Introducing a standout from the Iron Line of sliding vane pumps, these Blackmer® models are uniquely designed as the only alignment-free, low-speed positive displacement pumps on the market. Perfect for both mobile and stationary uses, the GNX Series enhances the trusted features of the legacy GX Series by integrating a commercial-grade, single-stage gearbox. This advanced gearbox is strategically placed between the motor and pump, secured with a permanent dowelled connection that establishes a robust link between the system's high-speed and low-speed sections. This design eliminates the need for realignment during initial installation or after maintenance, providing operators with increased reliability. Additionally, the GNX composite baseplate offers exceptional surface flatness, and excellent vibration damping, and reduces installation expenses.

The GNX  Series pumps are versatile and engineered to efficiently manage a variety of non-corrosive, clean industrial liquids and petroleum products. Available in sizes 2, 2.5, 3, and 4 inches, the GNX Series features a 90° port orientation.
