How to choose between rotary pump and gear pump for unloading purposes
Thread Content
I had been using gear pumps before, but they didn’t clean things very well. I recently heard about rotor pumps, but their price is a bit high, and I’m not sure about their actual performance. I asked my colleagues, but none of them gave a clear opinion—neither positive nor negative. Is it necessary to consider switching to another type of pump?
A gear pump is a type of rotor pump; please specify exactly which kind of rotor pump it is – is it a vane pump?
It depends on what materials need to be unloaded. To remove it completely, a diaphragm pump is the best choice
It is related to the material. It still can’t be cleaned completely; it’s probably because the tank of the vehicle is too high and there’s no slope. It’s not necessarily the pump’s fault. You can upload a picture.
It depends on your process conditions; incomplete unloading is a common problem in the transportation of high-viscosity materials
It wasn’t unloaded properly; it seems that you need a pump with strong self-priming capability. In this case, a twin-screw pump is an excellent choice. If you’re considering it, you can get in touch with the user whose username is Penguin
