Choosing The Right Gear Pump For Your Industry

With the ability to transfer fluids from one place to another, gear pumps find their application in different industries without the wait. Considering the loads and forcing the appropriate gear pump for the appropriate application is pragmatic. Hence this paper attempts to understand the considerations in selecting a gear pump and how they affect the working of industrial processes.

Key Concepts of Gear Pumps

Gear pumps operate by displacement with the aid of gears where these gears come in contact with each other transferring fluids they are simple and dependable and can pump small viscous fluids.

Usages in Different Industries

It is observed that gear pumps are required in almost all industries but the specifics of the requirement in each industry vary. For instance, in the food and beverage industry sanitary gear pumps must be made of stainless steel and in the chemical industry motors and pumps which come in contact with bears salt solutions and acids have to be used.

Flow Rate and Pressure Derivatives

The requirements in terms of flow rate and pressure of any gear pump should be equivalent to the application in which it is going to be used. For modifications of pumping where the adjustments in flow rate are possible then it becomes so easy to transfer or dose the fluid.

General Conditions

The materials that make the construction of gear pumps need to be compatible with the fluids that are being pumped using this equipment. In this way, the fluids will not destroy the pump and its 
efficiency will be retained over time.

Note on Maintenance and Durability their Longevity

For the gear pumps to be durable, there is a need for regular maintenance. If possible, find pumps where maintenance and replacement parts are easy to reach through the casing. Did we honestly say that all these factors that we have considered affect the fact that pumps would have to perform effectively calling for less downtime.

 Among other aspects there is also “fit for purpose” consideration in terms of performance and material of construction. Depending on the type of industrial application, performance, and ease of use, various gear pumps are available at ATUS for the client’s industrial processes. agro-pulp-timber industry or any other flow devices ATUS pump remains the gear that satisfies this need.
