Positive displacement pumps are ideally suited for transferring adhesives due to their ability to handle viscous, shear-sensitive, and sometimes abrasive materials with precision and care. Unlike centrifugal pumps, positive displacement pumps displace a specific volume of fluid with each cycle, ensuring a consistent flow rate that is crucial for maintaining the quality and integrity of adhesives during transfer. This is especially important when dealing with adhesives that require an even application to function correctly.
