Gear Pump

Applications:

All varieties of fuel oil and lube oil

Resins and Polymers

Alcohols and solvents

Asphalt, Bitumen, and Tar

Polyurethane foam (Isocyanate and polyol)

Food products such as corn syrup, chocolate, and peanut butter

Paint, inks, and pigments

Soaps and surfactants

Glycol

Gear pumps are commonly used for pumping high viscosity fluids such as oil, paints, resins or foodstuffs. They are preferred in any application where accurate dosing or high pressure output is required. The output of a gear pump is not greatly affected by pressure so they also tend to be preferred in any situation where the supply is irregular.

The following table lists some typical applications of external and internal gear pumps:

Type of gear pump	External	Internal
Various fuel oils and lube oils
Chemical additive and polymer metering
Chemical mixing and blending
Industrial, agricultural and mobile hydraulic applications
Acids and caustic (stainless steel or composite construction)
Resins and polymers
Alcohols and solvents
Asphalt, bitumen, and tar
Polyurethane foam (Isocyanate and polyol)
Food products: corn syrup, peanut butter, cacao butter, chocolate, sugar, fillers, vegetable fats, vegetable oils, animal feed
Paint, inks, and pigments
Soaps and surfactants
