MTH Pumps is a U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in regenerative turbine and centrifugal pump technologies for high-pressure, low-flow applications. Operating since 1965, the company designs and manufactures pumps in Plano, Illinois, with a focus on applications requiring consistent pressure and controlled flow.
MTH pump designs are commonly used in boiler feed, condensate return, temperature control systems, refrigeration, and industrial process applications where system pressure varies, but flow must remain stable. Their regenerative turbine pumps are engineered to maintain near-constant capacity across changing pressure conditions, making them well-suited for systems where centrifugal pumps cannot maintain performance.
MTH Pumps’ product line is centered on regenerative turbine pump technology designed for applications requiring high pressure at relatively low flow rates. These pumps use multi-vane impellers that recirculate fluid within the casing, enabling them to generate higher discharge pressures than conventional centrifugal pumps at similar flow rates.
Typical operating ranges extend from fractional flow rates up to approximately 150 GPM, with pressures reaching up to 1,000 PSI, depending on the series and configuration.
In practical applications, this design is used where systems require stable flow under varying pressure conditions, including boiler feed systems, condensate handling, and closed-loop temperature control. The ability to maintain performance across pressure fluctuations is a defining characteristic of regenerative turbine pump operation.
MTH pumps are designed to operate across a defined performance range, making them well-suited for specialized applications requiring precision and reliability.
All pumps are 100% tested in an ISO-certified manufacturing facility prior to shipment to ensure performance, reliability, and consistency across applications.
This combination of performance range, material flexibility, and testing validation allows MTH pumps to support both standard and custom-engineered systems.
MTH offers a focused product portfolio designed to address specific hydraulic challenges, particularly in applications requiring high head and low flow.
MTH’s core product line, regenerative turbine pumps, uses a unique impeller design that recirculates fluid within the casing to generate higher pressures than standard centrifugal pumps. These pumps are available across multiple series with capacities up to approximately 160 GPM and heads exceeding 2,000 feet, depending on the model.
Sealless and hermetically sealed pump designs are available for applications requiring leak-free operation. These pumps are commonly used with refrigerants and other controlled fluids, offering capacities up to approximately 45 GPM and heads up to 450 feet.
MTH also manufactures close-coupled centrifugal pumps for general fluid handling applications, including washdown systems and process circulation. These pumps deliver efficient performance in low-head applications, with capacities up to approximately 110 GPM.
This combination of technologies allows MTH to support a wide range of system requirements while maintaining a focus on compact, efficient pump design.
MTH pumps are used in applications where pressure stability, compact design, and consistent flow are critical to system performance.
Typical applications include:
These pumps are especially effective in systems such as condensate return, pressure boosting, and heat transfer loops, where maintaining consistent pressure is essential for reliable operation.
MTH pump designs are engineered to solve specific hydraulic challenges that standard pump technologies may not address efficiently.
Key advantages include:
Their regenerative turbine technology is particularly valuable in applications where space constraints, pressure requirements, and system efficiency must all be balanced.
