Road Salt & Liquid Deicer Pumps

Reliable Flow for Safer Roads

Weather may be unpredictable, but road safety doesn’t have to be. Whether you're in the Snow Belt or a region that only occasionally sees frost, ice and snow pose serious hazards to drivers. That’s why municipalities and contractors rely on Oberdorfer™ bronze gear pumps for dependable performance in liquid deicing and salt brine spraying systems. Built to withstand corrosive fluids and harsh winter conditions, these pumps deliver controlled, pulse-free flow for consistent application—keeping roads safer and operations running smoothly.

Key Features of Oberdorfer Road Salt Pumps

Corrosion-Resistant Bronze Construction

  • Pump housings and gears are made from high-quality bronze, ideal for handling salt brine and deicing chemicals.
  • Stainless steel shafts and fasteners provide added protection against rust and corrosion.

Positive Displacement Gear Design

  • Delivers a fixed volume of fluid per shaft revolution, ensuring smooth, accurate flow.
  • Ideal for metered application of brine and deicing solutions.

Built for Harsh Environments

  • Performs reliably in freezing temperatures, wet conditions, and high-vibration mobile equipment.
  • Trusted by DOTs, municipalities, and snow removal contractors.

Compact and Easy to Integrate

  • Fits easily into brine sprayers, salt trucks, and mobile deicing units.
  • Simple design with minimal moving parts for easy maintenance.

Safe and Efficient Operation

  • Flow is not affected by discharge pressure, and the pump can be shut off without risk of overloading or line damage - no relief valve required.

Typical Use Cases in Winter Road Maintenance

  • Liquid Brine Spraying – Applying salt brine directly to road surfaces before or during snow events.
  • Pre-Wetting Systems – Spraying brine onto dry salt to improve adhesion and melting efficiency.
  • Anti-Icing Operations – Preventing ice formation on bridges, overpasses, and high-risk areas.
  • Mobile Deicing Units – Integrated into trucks and trailers for on-the-go application.
  • Airport Runways and Parking Lots – Controlled application of deicing fluids in critical areas.
