De-Icing Equipment Pumps

High-Pressure Performance for Aircraft and Runway Safety

In aviation, safety starts on the ground. During winter operations, effective de-icing is critical to ensure aircraft performance and prevent hazardous ice buildup on wings, fuselage, and control surfaces. Oberdorfer™ gear pumps are a trusted solution for de-icing trucks and ground support equipment, delivering the high-pressure, corrosion-resistant performance needed to spray de-icing fluids with precision and reliability—even in the harshest weather conditions.

Key Features of Oberdorfer De-Icing Pumps

High-Pressure Capability

  • Positive displacement gear design generates the pressure needed to overcome long hose runs, elevation changes, and flow restrictions.
  • Ensures consistent spray coverage across aircraft surfaces and large areas.

Corrosion-Resistant Bronze Construction

  • Pump housings and gears are made from high-quality bronze, ideal for handling glycol-based de-icing fluids and other chemical solutions.
  • Stainless steel shafts and fasteners provide added durability in cold, wet environments.

Smooth, Pulse-Free Flow

  • Gear pumps deliver a steady, non-pulsating stream—critical for uniform application of de-icing agents.
  • Flow rate is directly proportional to shaft speed, allowing for precise control.

Compact and Mobile-Ready

  • Easily integrated into truck-mounted tanks and mobile de-icing units.
  • Compact footprint and robust design make it ideal for airport ground operations.

Low Maintenance, Long Service Life

  • Carbon-graphite bearings and minimal moving parts reduce wear and extend operational life.
  • Designed for continuous-duty performance in extreme temperatures.

Typical Use Cases in Aviation and Transportation

  • Aircraft De-Icing Trucks – Spraying heated glycol or other de-icing fluids onto aircraft surfaces.
  • Runway and Taxiway Treatment – Applying anti-icing agents to prevent ice formation on pavement.
