KCB series gear pump adopts an involute external gear structure, which generates volumetric changes through the meshing and disengagement of the driven gear, thereby achieving the purpose of continuous oil suction and discharge. With its high efficiency, low noise, and long service life, this pump is widely used in industries such as chemicals, petroleum, food, pharmaceuticals, shipping, power, and rubber. Moreover, this machine is also resistant to heat, cold, corrosion, and wear, and can continue to operate efficiently and stably even in extreme weather conditions.
KCB series gear oil pumps, with their unique heat resistance and stability, maintain high performance even in high-temperature environments. Generally, when traditional pumps are used in applications such as thermal oil furnaces or refining and cracking units, issues like thermal expansion lockup, seal carbonization, and bearing damage may arise. However, the KCB oil transfer pump, with its cast steel or stainless steel housing and graphite bearing design, can continuously and stably transport media even at temperatures up to 300°C.
The effects of low-temperature environments on traditional gear pumps primarily manifest as cast iron brittleness, rubber hardening, and a sudden increase in starting torque. Additionally, at low temperatures, the viscosity of most liquids (especially oils) increases sharply, reducing their flowability. This increases the resistance during pump startup and may even result in the medium solidifying, preventing it from being drawn in. Since stainless steel materials maintain good toughness and strength in low-temperature environments, KCB gear pumps are made of stainless steel or low-temperature-resistant alloy steel to handle low-temperature conditions. At the same time, the pump has strong self-priming capabilities and can draw liquid without priming. Therefore, when the suction pipe is long or the medium is slightly viscous, the pump can rely on the vacuum formed inside the pump to draw up the liquid. This feature is particularly suitable for situations where the bottom valve freezes at low temperatures.
Generally speaking, the transportation of corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and strong oxidizing agents is a common challenge in industrial applications. When selecting materials such as stainless steel or fluoroplastic to manufacture the flow components of the KCB series gear pump, it can demonstrate excellent adaptability in corrosive environments. In practical applications, KCB stainless steel gear pumps have been widely used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries to transport corrosive media. On the one hand, in chemical production, these pumps can be used to transport various acid and alkali solutions, solvents, and other substances. On the other hand, in the pharmaceutical and food industries, they are used to transport pharmaceutical liquids, beverages, and other liquids that require hygiene and corrosion resistance.
