What is gear oil pump?

Gear oil pump transfers oil by the means of displacement. These pumps are used to transfer the fluids such as gear oil, transmission fluid, steering fluid, hydraulic oil and compressor oil. The gears rotate and separate at the inlet end, creating a void. The void formed helps in the suction of the fluid.

What is barrel type pump?

Barrel pull-out pumps are centrifugal pumps enclosed by a casing which resembles a barrel. In the case of feed pumps for power station applications they are also called barrel-type pumps or barrel casing pumps.

Why are gear pumps used?

Gear pumps are commonly used for pumping high viscosity fluids such as oil, paints, resins or foodstuffs. They are also preferred in applications where accurate dosing or high pressure output is required.

How do gear pumps work?

Gear pumps work by trapping fluid between the teeth of two or three rotating gears. Often, they are magnetically driven, which means they use less “wetted” materials for greater chemical compatibility. Gear pumps move a cavity that rotates rather than reciprocates.

What’s the dimensions of a 55 gallon drum?

The internal height will then usually be 33 ½ inches. On average, an open head 55 gallon steel drum can have the following dimensions: 22 ½” inside diameter, 33 ½” inside height, 23” or 24” outside diameter, and 34 ¾” or 34.5” outside height.

How does a barrel pump work?

A barrel pump works by fitting into the top opening of a drum by way of its narrow tube, which houses a vertical shaft. The motor turns on the drum pump via a switch. When the drum pump is actuated, its pumping mechanism comes from the base of the tube, which sucks out the content.

What is Rotary barrel pump?

rotary barrel pump These pumps are designed in a way to secure and transfer the fluids quickly. Another set of pumps are rotary pumps, also known as a positive-displacement pump, capable of pumping more fluids with the same weight as a standard barrel pump.
