External Gear Pumps

With our diverse standard and high performance gear pump range we are able to serve all your needs and respond to any challenge. Our gear pumps are robust, self-priming and are designed for your specific application. We offer explosion proof and seal-less pumps for the petrochemical industry, pumps with minimal surface roughness for the pharmaceutical and food industry and high pressure pumps for dynamic applications etc. Our pumps have proven their quality and efficiency for over 85 years.

On demand, we can provide external gear pumps which are API, ATEX,TR-CU 10, TR-CU 12 and TA Luft compliant.

External gear pumps are self-priming, non-pulsating and reversible pumps that work best on clean, lubricating fluids with a viscosity thicker than water. Two gear teeth, one idler and one driver, mesh together to transfer the liquid.

Zeilfelder high performance pumps last longer and are more effective than standard pumps. We choose the pump materials carefully depending on specific requirements and objectives of your application.

  • grey cast iron
  • ductile iron
  • cast steel
  • steel
  • stainless steel
  • hastelloy
  • bronze
  • aluminium
  • aluminium-based bronze
  • tantalum
  • Iridium
  • titanium
  • ceramics
  • plastic

Because of the balanced construction and bearings on both sides of the shafts, the pumps are capable of non-pulsating flow and high pressures.
