Stainless Steel Gear Pump - Chemsteel - R104 M

Customization and Exceptional Adaptability 

A comprehensive suite of accessories is available for the CHEMSTEEL™ RM104 M, augmenting its adaptability and integration into diverse systems. Accessories include line-mounted pressure relief valves, pump mounting feet for footless motors, and pedestal assemblies for secure, stable installation. 

The pump's innovative design allows for pump flow trimming, ensuring that it can be fine-tuned to achieve the desired minimum turndown or to satisfy specific OEM specification gear pump requirements. Specialized materials, such as Alloy C housing gear pump options and gears crafted from 316 stainless steel or advanced polymers like PTFE and polyetheretherketone (PEEK), cater to unique liquid handling needs. The inclusion of 316 stainless steel or Alloy C shafts and carbon bearing or PTFE gear pump configurations underscores the RM104 M's high viscosity gear pump capabilities. 

Robust Drive and Enduring Durability 
The CHEMSTEEL™ RM104 M is propelled by a flexible coupling drive pump mechanism, directly connected to the electric motor shaft via a close-coupled adapter, promoting seamless power transmission. This efficient design is perfect for handling clear, lubricating, and non-lubricating fluids, qualifying it as a high-temperature liquid pump capable of operating at temperatures reaching 450°F (232 °C). 

Boasting a gear pump suction lift of up to 20 feet (~6 m), the RM104 M is a self-priming gear pump that adapts effortlessly to challenging inlet conditions. It also demonstrates proficiency in managing viscous fluids up to 100,000 cps at reduced shaft speeds, ensuring consistent performance in a wide range of industrial scenarios. 

Maintenance: Streamlined Serviceability 
The RM104 M's design focuses on simplified service, making it an easy maintenance gear pump. Its modular housing allows for swift disassembly, and matched full-size bearings enhance durability, negating the need for additional wear plates. Mechanical seal gear pump configurations, featuring TFE encapsulated silicone O-ring seals, ensure a lasting seal, reducing the frequency of maintenance interventions. 

Life Cycle/Cost of Ownership: Unrivaled Longevity 
Every component of the RM104 M gear pump is crafted to contribute to an extensive operational life span, establishing it as a long life gear pump. Gear and bearing combinations are chosen to reduce wear, while slotted bearings deliver consistent lubrication. Hydraulic porting is meticulously designed to balance axial thrust and minimize wear, with ample port sizing to prevent cavitation—a key consideration for any cavitation prevention gear pump. 

FIT: Global Standards and Easy Integration 
The RM104 M pump is designed for universal compatibility, featuring 1/2" female NPT/BSPT connection gear pump fittings, metric gear pump hardware, and close-couple adapters that align with both NEMA and IEC motor frames for effortless international adoption. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that the pump is not only a precise fit for a wide array of applications but also a straightforward choice for those looking to buy gear pumps online or upgrade their current systems with minimal disruption.
