Modular External Gear Pump

Our Modular External Gear Pump is a robust and efficient pumping solution designed for the Oil and Gas industries. This pump is based on the “gear within gear” principle, where the rotary and idler gears in the pump head create cavities between their teeth, achieving positive displacement. Featuring only 2 moving components in the process medium, efficient suction lift capabilities and bi-directional pumping, these pumps ensure smooth and accurate performance across various applications. Additionally, these pumps are ATEX-available for use in hazardous environments.

Typical applications for our Modular External Gear Pump:

  • Fuel Oil, Gas Oil, Diesel-Fuel Tanks
  • Hot Oil Circulation
  • Semi-Viscous Fluids
  • Dyes
  • Marine
Overview

How does a Modular External Gear Pump work?

The pump features a horizontal shaft, 180° port position and has 2 external gears.

The pump shaft operates, moving the gears which draws liquid into the port. The liquid fills the space between the gears and moves towards the outlet of the pump as the shafts turn.

By-Pass/Pressure Relief Valve Operation:

The intended purpose of a By-Pass or Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) is to ensure that the pump and drive unit are protected from unnecessary damage that may be incurred during over-pressurisation which is mainly caused by closed valve operation or blockages in the discharge line. By-Passes can be either installed on the pipework and route fluid back to the suction of the pump or tank, in the form of a By-Pass Circuit, or indeed installed directly on the pump head, as detailed below.

The By-Pass, when opened, relieves excess fluid and pressure from the discharge section of the pump to the suction side and effectively allow the pump to recirculate within itself until the blockage in the line has been cleared or closed valve opened to allow the process medium to carry on through the system and drop the pressure in the line to an acceptable level for the installed equipment.

As By-Passes are spring-loaded and adjustable, they can be tweaked in situ to cater for changing system or pump requirements.

Features & Benefits
  • Accurate and pulseless flow at high differential pressures
  • Ability to pump fluids too viscous for Centrifugal Pumps (higher differential pressures than Centrifugal Pumps)
  • High mechanical efficiency across different pressures and varying flow
  • Efficient suction lift applications
  • Ability to operate at different points on their curves as flow is proportional to rotational speed
    and pressure is dependent on the installed motor power
  • Bi- Directional flow
  • ATEX-available for use in hazardous environments
