Our Modular External Gear Pump is a robust and efficient pumping solution designed for the Oil, Chemical & Gas industries. This pump consists of two external gears supported on separate shafts with bearings. They have efficient suction lift capabilities and pulse-free flows for a smooth performance. Additionally, these pumps are ATEX-approved for use in hazardous environments.
If you’re looking for a Helical model of this pump, which features larger gears and is ideal for higher volume applications, take a look at our Helical External Gear Pump.
Typical applications for our Modular External Gear Pump:
| Specifications | Description |
|---|---|
| Max Capacity (m³/hr) | 7.7m³/hr |
| Max Pressure (m) | 300m |
| Viscosity (cPs) | 550 cPs |
| Max Speed (rpm) | 1500 rpm |
| Max Temperature (°C) | 100°C |
The pump features a horizontal shaft, 180° port position and has 2 external gears. The pump shaft operates, moving the gears that draw liquid into the port. The liquid fills the space between the gear and is transported towards the pump outlet as the shafts turn.
The valves protect the pump and drive unit from over-pressurisation. When activated, they divert excess fluid from the discharge side to the suction side, allowing recirculation until normal flow is restored. By-Passes can be fitted in pipework or directly on the pump head and are spring-loaded and adjustable to suit changing system requirements.
External Gear Pumps come with many benefits, some of which include:
