GB – Heated and unheated pumps

Summary:

The GB range is a heated gear pump primarily designed for pumping products that have to be heated to be pumped. The design can incorporate heating by thermostatically controlled electric heaters (230 volt or 110 volt), thermal oil or steam. Heated gear pumps are typically used for Bitumen, Crude Oil or Refined Tar among other generally viscous fluids. Our pumps are often supplied with a grease filled seal cartridge to give the best possible service life. The seal cartridge can be supplied with a greaser which can be mounted remotely to allow easy greasing of the seal cartridge. This arrangement avoids the leakage so often associated with bitumen pumps.

Often virtually maintenance free, GB pumps are perfect for market sectors that require long service lives from heated pumps.
