Gear pumps for high viscosity fluids

Pump specialist Michael Smith Engineers, has introduced a range of high performance external gear pumps, which is said to deliver virtually pulseless flows. Suitable for pumping high viscosity fluids at higher temperatures and pressures, the Zenith range of gear pumps is designed to provide a precise, pulseless and repeatable performance in industrial metering applications.

The pumps are said to be particularly effective in plastics and rubber production processes including polyester, polypropylene, nylon, acrylic, spandex and many other speciality materials.

The range includes models which cover capacities from 0.05cm3/ revolution up to 750cm3/revolution with maximum differential pressures from 70 bar for the B-9000 Series and up to 275 bar for the HPB Series.
