High-efficiency transfer of low-volume process fluids for bulk-filling applications.
Enhance process flexibility and operational reliability while reducing the environmental impact of your bulk/batch filling operations with the Alfa Laval M Gear Pump. Suitable for a broad range of applications, this sturdy. stainless steel positive displacement pump runs at speeds of up to 1360 rpm.
Service is simple due to interchangeable parts including the mechanical seal, cover plates, back plates and O-rings. In-situ disassembly is easy when routine parts replacement or maintenance is required.
The M Gear Pump comes in three model. The M Gear Pump has different pump head sizes available with flow rates up to 1,500 l/h, differential pressures up to 7 bar, and temperatures up to 60°C adapt to process requirements. A bracket makes freestanding operation possible for flexible, modular integration.
Applications
The Alfa Laval M Gear is designed for uninterrupted production in a broad range of hygienic and industrial applications across the food, chemical, personal care and a diverse range of industries.
Working Principle
The positive displacement of the pump is created by contacting, contra-rotating multi-lobe gears, where one gear drives the secondary within a fully swept pump chamber. The pump is capable of bi-rotational flow without requiring modification.
Fluid is carried through the pump in the cavities formed between the contacting gear and the interior of the case. As the blade disengage, a cavity forms, filling with fluid. As the blade engage, the cavity diminishes, displacing fluid into the outlet port.
The gears are mounted between specially developed PTFE bush bearings, all fitted within the main pump body to ensure precision alignment and high-performance efficiency.
