Filled Asphalt

Positive displacement gear pumps are particularly well-suited for transferring filled asphalt due to their robust construction and ability to handle highly viscous and abrasive materials with ease. These pumps operate by trapping a fixed volume of asphalt and then displacing it through the system, ensuring consistent and precise flow rates even with the thick, gritty texture of filled asphalt. The interlocking gears within the pump create a seal that minimizes leakage and maintains pressure, making them highly efficient for moving asphalt without degradation or separation of the fill material. Additionally, their durable design can withstand the harsh conditions and high temperatures often associated with asphalt transfer, reducing maintenance requirements and ensuring longevity in demanding industrial environments. This makes positive displacement gear pumps a reliable choice for industries looking to optimize their asphalt handling processes.

Bitumen vs Asphalt: Key Differences and Gear Pump Selection
The terms bitumen and asphalt are often used interchangeably, but they are two completely different materials, causing confusion inside and outside the industry. Throw in regional differences in meaning and language, and it’s time to set the record straight, along with tips on bitumen pump selection.

Viscosity Through Thick and Thin
Viscosity is a measure of a liquid’s resistance to flow. And you don’t need to work in a laboratory to observe this. Anyone who’s spent any time in the kitchen has observed a variety of liquids with a wide variety of viscosities.
