The pump industry has specific requirements when it comes to gearing.
Gearboxes for Pumps
Primarily, pumps perform specific roles based on what they are asked to do by differing industries. These industries include:
- Paper
- Sugar
- Oil and Gas
- Mining
- Chemical
- Food
- Explosives
- Marine
- Wastewater
- Wine
- Steel
The pumps themselves are used in differing ways, for different applications:
- Centrifugal pumps
- Twin screw pumps
- Gear pumps
- Lobe pumps
- Cavity pumps
Inline helical gear motors from Bonfiglioli have been designed with IEC input and output, enabling a small footprint to be utilised in reducing pump speeds to the required level from motor input speed.
Types of Gearbox
- Inline helical
- Planetary
- Parallel shaft
- Bevel helical
- Wormbox
