The purpose and application fields of gear pumps

Gear pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses a pair of meshing gears to rotate and achieve fluid suction and discharge. It is widely used in many industries and fields, with diverse and critical applications.

The following are the main uses of gear pumps and typical application examples in various industries:

General purpose

1. Fluid Transport: Gear pumps are suitable for transporting high viscosity liquids such as oil, grease, paint, glue, resin, etc.

2. * * Measurement feeding * *: In situations where precise control of fluid volume is required, such as the addition of chemical reagents, dyes, fragrances, and other materials.

3. * * Liquid Boosting * *: When liquid needs to be delivered to a higher pressure environment, such as a power source in a hydraulic system.

4. * * Circulating system * *: Used as a circulating pump in a heating or cooling system to maintain the flow of liquid within the system.
