Accessories are an essential part of industrial fluid management systems. They do not simply complete the system, but determine its stability, continuity, and operational safety. An unsuitable fitting can cause leaks, an undersized pipe can increase operating pressure, and an incorrectly installed valve can compromise the entire transfer cycle.
In industrial plants, the quality of accessories affects:
- pump yield
- Operator safety
- reduction in downtime
- energy efficiency
- accuracy of doses dispensed
Choosing the right accessories extends the useful life of the system and reduces the need for corrective maintenance.
Gartec develops accessories according to technical criteria that take into account the physical properties of fluids, material compatibility, pressure and flow dynamics, and applicable regulations. The accessories are designed to work in synergy with the entire Gartec range:
- pneumatic, electric, and manual pumps
- dispensing guns
- hose reel
- storage systems
- digital and mechanical flow meters
This modularity allows for the creation of complete systems that can be configured according to the operational needs of industry, workshops, and fluid logistics.
The complete catalog of Gartec accessories includes:
Components for fluid distribution lines
This macro-category includes all the elements that make up the fluid path, from the pump to the dispensing gun. The quality of these components directly affects the hydraulic performance of the system: reduction of pressure drops, flow stability, absence of vibrations, and airtight sealing.
High-pressure pipes (R1AT, R2AT, TDP)
Gartec hoses are designed to withstand extremely high pressures and maintain stability even in the presence of thick oils, greases, or aggressive technical fluids.
The multi-layer structure allows:
- resistance to continuous pressure cycles, including pulsed pressure
- Compatibility with mineral, synthetic, and hydraulic oils
- Reduced risk of swelling or delamination
Undersized pipes can cause overheating or performance drops in pumps: this is why the range is wide and correctly sized.
Fittings and nipples
Made of steel, brass, or technopolymers, they define the mechanical interface between components. The quality of the threading and dimensional tolerance prevent micro-leaks and ensure a stable connection even in the presence of vibrations.
Ball valves, check valves, 3-way valves, bleed valves
Valves regulate direction, flow, and safety:
- ball valves allow rapid shut-off of the flow
- non-return valves prevent backflow, avoiding contamination
- 3-way valves allow diversion to alternative lines or multiple tanks
- Purging removes residual air and contributes to pressure stability.
Each valve is designed to withstand specific operating pressures.
Y-filters and water hammer arresters
These components protect the line from impurities, metal residues, or unexpected overpressure.
In industrial pumping systems, they are essential for preventing:
- premature pump wear
- flow instability
- damage to meters or precision instruments
These components are designed for the correct installation and configuration of Gartec pumps, whether pneumatic, electric, or manual.
Lifting kits for drums and tanks
They allow fluid to be drawn from the bottom of containers, ensuring stable flow rates, preventing air intake, and keeping the circuit clean. The dip tubes are sized for standard drums and IBC tanks, with materials compatible with oils, detergents, AdBlue, and technical fluids.
Modular extensions and dedicated fittings
They allow the length of the pump-collector unit to be adapted to the type of container or installation height. The modular extensions ensure rigidity, vibration-free operation, and precision in pressure transmission.
Fixing rings and brackets
They ensure the stability of the pump during operation.
Incorrect fastening can cause micro-movements that compromise the pump's performance or damage the pipe.
Accurate volume measurement is a fundamental aspect of the distribution of oils, lubricants, and technical fluids . Gartec offers instruments designed for high-precision applications.
Mechanical and digital flow meters
Used in professional lines, they allow for precise monitoring of the volume dispensed.
Digital models offer:
- partially resettable
- consumption register totalizers
- compatibility with high-viscosity oils
These tools are essential in regulated environments, scheduled maintenance, or centralized systems.
Level indicators
Available in mechanical or electronic versions, they allow monitoring of the residual volume in the drum or tank, preventing sudden interruptions in the process.
Control unit with timer
Used in complex systems to synchronize lubrication activities or to manage automatic safety systems.
The correct handling and movement of drums is often underestimated, but it is crucial for safety in the workshop and in production. Gartec solutions do not neglect this aspect of the work.
Professional trolleys
Available for 20–60 L and 200 L drums, Gartec trolleys reduce the risk of rolling, tipping, and excessive strain on the operator. Versions with a containment tray are designed to handle accidental spills.
Taps, vents for tanks, and clamps for drums
Specific accessories for industrial tanks and clamps for lifting and moving drums with mechanical means in complete safety.
Probes are high-precision instruments designed to extract used oil from engines, control units, and hydraulic systems.
Rigid and flexible probes
They are available in different diameters to suit individual vehicle models.
Flexible probes are suitable for complex routes, while rigid probes guarantee suction speed and stability.
Compressed air is a fluid in every sense of the word and requires dedicated components to ensure safety, continuity, and quality of supply.
FR/FRL groups
They filter, regulate, and lubricate the air that feeds pneumatic pumps and tools. Dirty or unlubricated air can compromise seals, response speeds, and tool life.
Quick couplings and polyurethane spirals
These accessories enable quick and durable connections, reducing setup times and ensuring flexibility in operational areas.
Inflation and blowing guns
Essential tools for service, maintenance, and cleaning operations.
They include tools designed for specific operational needs such as stainless steel misters, emergency lamps, wall brackets, and technical flanges.
These elements are often overlooked in preliminary analyses but significantly improve the overall efficiency and safety of the system.
Each accessory must be selected according to specific technical parameters:
- Chemical compatibility with mineral oils, synthetic oils, AdBlue, antifreeze, and detergents.
- Operating pressure and resistance to dynamic peaks.
- Operating temperature.
- Construction materials (steel, stainless steel, technopolymers, specific gaskets).
- Industry regulations (ATEX where applicable, spill prevention).
- System configuration and instructions for use.
The right choice increases system stability and significantly reduces the risk of downtime.
