High-Temperature and Viscous Fluid Compatibility
The CHEMSTEEL™ R102 M is a high-temperature gear pump capable of managing fluids at temperatures up to 450°F. It is also adept at handling viscous fluids up to 100,000 cps (462,000 SSU) at reduced shaft speeds, making it a gear pump for viscous fluids that surpasses expectations.
Maintenance-Friendly Design
Ease of maintenance is key to uninterrupted operations, and the CHEMSTEEL™ R102 M pump ensures just that. Its three-section O-ring sealed thru-bolt construction allows for quick servicing and parts replacement. The pump's full range of seal options—including lip seal, packing, and mechanical designs—caters to various operational needs, ensuring a tight seal and prolonged pump life.
Suction Lift and Drive Efficiency
A gear pump's suction lift capability can significantly impact its efficiency. The CHEMSTEEL™ R102 M has a remarkable suction lift capacity of 20 feet for a new pump, making it a self-priming powerhouse. Driven directly from the electric motor shaft by means of a flexible coupling, this pump's efficient power transfer is further enhanced by a close-coupled adapter for motor connection.
Long Life Cycle and Cost-Effective Operation
The design and material selection of the CHEMSTEEL™ R102 M pump not only ensure an extended life cycle but also contribute to a cost-effective ownership experience. Slotted bearings lubricate shaft and gear surfaces, while hydraulic porting balances axial thrust to reduce wear. The result is a long life gear pump that that continues to excel in performance and durability.
Sealing Excellence and Customization
Recognizing that every application has its unique challenges, the CHEMSTEEL™ R102 M gear pump offers a full range of seal options. Whether you require a simple lip seal or a more complex mechanical design, this pump is equipped to provide an optimal sealing solution. Combined with special materials like carbon or PTFE for bearings, this pump ensures that every user can find the perfect combination to handle their specific liquid with confidence.
Lifecycle Value and Ease of Service
The CHEMSTEEL™ R102 M is designed with serviceability in mind. Its three-part housing provides for straightforward disassembly, allowing for swift and easy maintenance. The inclusion of features such as TFE encapsulating silicone o-ring pump housing seals provides elastic memory, ensuring an effective long-lasting seal that minimizes the need for re-torqueing.
Adaptability for Global Use
Understanding the need for a pump that fits seamlessly into any system, the CHEMSTEEL™ R102 M offers "near" dimensional interchangeability, allowing for easy upgrades. The connections are 1/4" female NPT or BSPT, and the pump hardware is metric, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of motor frame sizes and global industry standards.
Enhanced Drive and Liquid Handling
The CHEMSTEEL™ R102 M's drive system is ingeniously simple yet highly effective. Its direct connection to the electric motor shaft via a flexible coupling means that power is transmitted with maximum efficiency. This gear pump with a flexible coupling is a reliable choice for consistent performance.
Comprehensive Parts and Support
To maintain the CHEMSTEEL™ R102 M's high standards of reliability and performance, users can order a CHEMSTEEL™ Pump Parts Kit by simply adding a "K" to the end of the model number. This repair kit contains everything needed—bearings, gears, o-rings, shafts, keys, c clips, and retaining rings—ensuring that the pump can be kept in top condition with minimal downtime.
