Roto-Jet (Trillium Flow Technologies)
Roto-Jet Pumps at Siewert Equipment
High-Pressure Pitot Tube Pumps for Demanding Industrial Applications
Siewert Equipment proudly distributes Roto-Jet high-pressure pitot tube pumps across Upstate New York, offering a powerful and reliable pumping solution for severe-duty industrial applications. Manufactured by Trillium Flow Technologies, Roto-Jet pumps are engineered to provide high heads, low flows, and exceptional durability, making them the perfect choice for services such as boiler feed, water jet cutting, chemical injection, and reverse osmosis systems.
With their unique pitot tube design, Roto-Jet pumps deliver the energy efficiency of a centrifugal pump combined with the controllability and simplicity of a positive displacement pump. Their non-contacting rotor and stationary pitot tube eliminate internal wear, resulting in lower maintenance and extended operational life—especially in applications where reliability and high pressures are critical.

History of Roto-Jet by Trillium Flow Technologies
Roto-Jet was founded in the mid-20th century with the goal of creating a high-pressure pump solution that minimized internal wear and extended equipment life. Unlike traditional centrifugal or reciprocating pumps, Roto-Jet pioneered the pitot tube pump design, which uses a stationary pitot tube to extract fluid energy from a rotating liquid ring.
This innovation allowed the Roto-Jet pump to operate at higher pressures and lower flows without the maintenance concerns of impellers, vanes, or close clearances. Over time, Roto-Jet pumps gained popularity in demanding industries such as power, pulp & paper, and chemical processing.
In 2019, Roto-Jet became part of Trillium Flow Technologies, a global leader in engineered flow solutions. This integration further enhanced the company’s manufacturing capabilities and support network, allowing Roto-Jet pumps to maintain their position as the preferred high-pressure solution for challenging fluid applications worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roto-Jet Pumps
What is a pitot tube pump?
- A pitot tube pump uses a rotating liquid ring and a stationary pitot tube to generate high-pressure flow, providing smooth operation and low internal wear.
What makes Roto-Jet pumps ideal for high-pressure applications?
- Their unique design allows operation at very high heads with precise flow control and exceptional reliability.
Are Roto-Jet pumps better than multistage centrifugal pumps?
- In low flow, high head applications, Roto-Jet pumps offer better efficiency, lower maintenance, and more compact design.
What fluids can Roto-Jet pumps handle?
- They can handle clean liquids, chemicals, high-temperature fluids, condensate, and low-viscosity process fluids.
What are common Roto-Jet applications?
- Boiler feed, water jet cutting, chemical injection, hydraulic decoking, reverse osmosis, and descaling.
What maintenance is required for Roto-Jet pumps?
- Minimal. With no internal wear surfaces, they only require routine checks of bearings and seals.
Can Roto-Jet pumps run dry?
- No, they require priming or continuous liquid supply to avoid damage.
Do Roto-Jet pumps support variable speed control?
- Yes. They integrate easily with VFDs for process flexibility and energy savings.
Are explosion-proof motors available?
- Yes. We offer Roto-Jet packages with explosion-proof motors and hazardous area certification.
How do I size a Roto-Jet pump for my application?
- Siewert Equipment’s engineers will evaluate your system specs and recommend the optimal model for performance and reliability.
