Rotary pumps are positive displacement pumps that are useful in industrial facilities. The rotary pump is ideal for lube oil, heavy fuel oil and other high viscosity oils. There are different types of rotary pumps for different industrial applications.
Here are some of the types of rotary pumps available in the market today.
Gear pumps are positive displacement pumps with only two moving parts. This type of rotary pump has non-reciprocating parts which means that they move at a uniform speed. This pump works by creating a temporary vacuum at the center of two gears as they rotate. The vacuum efficiently traps fluid and then transfers it continuously to a chamber where it is then released.
Vane pump is a popular rotary pump option for industrial facilities. Gear pumps have the tendency to leak due to the small gaps in between the gear's teeth. A vane pump reduces this issue by using hydraulic loaded vanes into the rotor. Vane pumps are considered to have a lower pressure compared to gear pumps but their leak resistant design increases its efficiency.
Another type of rotary pump is the piston pump. This type of rotary pump is designed to run like a motor car engine. The pump capacity of a piston pump is manipulated through altering the swash plate's angle. The larger the angle, the greater the piston pump's capacity.
When choosing a pump for your industrial business, it is best to ask for an expert's advice. Rotary pumps play an important role in our facility's process and getting the best fit for our need will improve our production efficiency.
