Detergent Slurry

Positive displacement gear pumps are ideal for transferring detergent slurry due to their ability to handle viscous fluids with precision and efficiency. These pumps operate by trapping a fixed amount of fluid and then forcing (displacing) it through the discharge pipe, maintaining a consistent flow rate regardless of the pressure conditions. This capability is crucial for detergent slurries, which often have a thick, viscous consistency. Gear pumps ensure that the slurry is moved smoothly and without the risk of cavitation or pulsation, which can damage delicate surfactant structures within the detergent. Additionally, the robust construction and materials used in gear pumps can withstand the corrosive nature of some detergent components, ensuring durability and longevity in industrial applications.
