Zenith BLB Series metering pumps deliver precise, pulseless, and repeatable flow control performance. Zenith precision metering pumps greatly improve product quality while eliminating costly overdosing.

Applications

Designed to provide stable, precise, repeatable flow control of process fluids despite variations in temperature, viscosity, and pressure. The Zenith BLB Series pumps are broadly applied to metering services such as colorings, catalysts, resins, flavorings, perfumes, vitamins, oils, binders, adhesives, coatings, inhibitors, paints/varnishes, polymers, lubricants, dyes, defoamers, pharmaceuticals, urethanes, fuels, viscose, and many others for the world's top industrial companies.

Benefits and Features

  • High Accuracy - Stable, repeatable flow control despite process variations of temperature, viscosity, and pressure.
  • High Pressure - Precision manufacturing techniques hold tolerances to +.00005" (1.25 micron), allowing gear clearances to be kept to a minimum and high process pressures to achieved.
  • Pulseless - Precise, rotary spur gears provide smooth, continuous, pulseless flow.
  • Valveless - Precision metering gears eliminate troublesome check valves used in reciprocating pumps.
  • Active Flowmeter - Unparalleled mechanical precision, combined with the closed loop Zenith ZeDrive™ 2000 controller ensures exact flow control without the addition of expensive flowmeters.
  • Long Life - Only three moving parts - components through hardened to Rc-54 or higher for wear resistance and strength.
  • Multi-pump Ratio Capability - Outer drive gear allows multiple pumps to be driven at different gear ratios by a single motor.
