Asphalt, also often referred to as bitumen, is a glue that holds particles together and provides an excellent seal to prevent water from seeping in. It is commonly used in refining, paving, roads and roofing construction. Asphalt's durability, abundance, and low manufacturing cost make it an economical solution for covering large areas of pavement. Due to the viscous nature of asphalt, typical asphalt pump specifications are cast iron gear pumps that run slower to minimize wear on hardened gears.
1. It can be used as a pump for petroleum, chemical fiber, metallurgy, machinery, electric power, ship, highway and other industrial sectors.
2. It is suitable for transporting fuel oil. Crude oil. Bitumen and similar lubricants.
3. In the industrial field for lubrication, in the hydraulic system as a hydraulic pump, in the fuel system as a delivery and booster pump, in the oil delivery system as a delivery and refueling pump.
4. Asphalt pump gear pumps are suitable for conveying high temperature viscous liquids, thin or thick suspended liquids.
It is important to note that because of the potential for the asphalt to solidify inside the pump, a heated jacket must be installed on the asphalt pump to prevent the asphalt from cooling and to keep it liquid and low viscosity. Sealing options include a packing gland, which extends seal life and is less likely than a mechanical seal to be damaged on startup once the asphalt has solidified inside the pump.
