Working principle and maintenance of gear pumps

A gear pump is a rotary pump that transports liquid or pressurizes it by relying on the variation and movement of the working volume formed between the pump cylinder and the meshing gears.

（1） Working principle of gear pump:

Gear pump is a type of volumetric pump, consisting of two gears, a pump body, and a front and rear cover to form two enclosed spaces. When the gears rotate, the volume of the space on the disengaged side of the gears increases from small to large, forming a vacuum that sucks in liquid. The volume of the space on the meshing side of the gears decreases from large to small, and the liquid is squeezed into the pipeline. The suction chamber and discharge chamber are separated by the meshing line of two gears.
The pressure at the discharge port of a gear pump completely depends on the resistance at the pump outlet.

（2） Gear pump operation and maintenance

1. Gear pump start:

(1) Before starting, check the sealing of all pipeline flanges and joints.
(2) Disc coupling, no friction or collision sound.
(3) The first startup should inject the conveying liquid into the pump.
(4) Before starting, the valves in the suction and discharge pipelines should be fully opened, and it is strictly prohibited to start with the valve closed.
(5) After verifying the direction of motor rotation, start the motor.

2. Gear pump shutdown:

(1) Turn off the motor.
(2) Close the inlet and outlet valves of the pump.

How much does it cost to buy a slurry pump

The price of slurry pumps can be affected by a variety of factors, so it is difficult to give an exact figure. Generally speaking, the price of slurry pumps will vary according to the following factors: Factors affecting the price of slurry pumps Pump type and specifications: flow, head, caliber, material and other parameters are different, the price will also have a big difference. Pump material: slurry pump contact medium corrosive different, the material selected is different, thus affecting the price. Common materials are cast iron, stainless steel, wear-resistant alloy. Pump brand: different brands of pumps, its technical level, quality, after-sales service and so on there are differences, the price will naturally be different. Pump configuration: pump configuration, such as motor, control system, seals, etc., will also affect the price. Purchase Quantity: Bulk purchases are usually discounted to a certain extent. Market conditions: Fluctuations in the price of raw materials...

How to replace the impeller of a slurry pump

The impeller of the slurry pump is a wearing part, which needs to be inspected and replaced periodically. The process of replacing the impeller is relatively complex and requires certain specialized knowledge and skills. The following are the steps for replacing the impeller of the slurry pump: 1. Preparation Shut down and disconnect the power: Before any operation, be sure to cut off the power supply to ensure safety. Preparation tools: ready wrenches, screwdrivers, gaskets, new impeller and so on. Drain: Empty the pump. Protective measures: Wear protective gloves, safety glasses and other protective equipment. 2. Disassembly Procedure DISASSEMBLY: Disassemble the suction and discharge pipes connected to the pump. Remove pump cover: Loosen the bolts securing the pump cover and carefully remove the cover. Remove the impeller: Loosen the nuts secure the impeller with a suitable tool and remove the impeller. 3. Install the new impeller Insp...
