Dayton 4KHC4 rotary gear pump head is ideal for transferring fluids with varying viscosities, such as oils, fuels, chemicals and lubricants. This pump head is suitable for processes requiring precise and consistent fluid transfer, metering and circulation. It is used in oil and gas, chemical processing, automotive and manufacturing applications.
Working Mechanism:
- Dayton 4KHC4 rotary gear pump head operates through positive displacement, employing intermeshing gears to transfer fluids. As the gears rotate, fluid is drawn into the pump through the inlet, trapped in sealed chambers and then expelled through the outlet.
Features:
- It features bronze construction, ensuring corrosion resistance and longevity in demanding industrial environments.
- This rotary gear pump head has a maximum operating pressure of 125 psi, allowing for efficient fluid transfer under varying pressure conditions.
- It offers a close-coupled motor mounting type compatible with motor frames 182TC/184TC, facilitating easy installation and integration into existing systems.
- This rotary gear pump head offers a high flow rate range, from 23.3 to 24.7 gpm.
- It is equipped with a mechanical seal, comprising Buna-N, carbon, ceramic and stainless steel components.
- This rotary gear pump head has a shaft material made of 304 stainless steel, providing strength, durability and resistance to corrosion in fluid-handling operations.
