ZENITH Planetary Pump Series
Maximizing yields and run times for melt fiber production in a compact pump design
MFG in Monroe, NC USA
The Zenith Planetary pump series supports manufacturing operations melt fiber production maximizing yields and run times. Planetary metering pumps provide multiple output streams in a compact pump design. These pumps are ideal for fixed displacement applications requiring 2 or more outputs.
Precision Gear Pumps
Product Performance You Can Rely On
Precision gear pumps are an integral part of many manufacturing processes requiring metering, mixing, dispensing, coating, and extruding, where accuracy and uniformity of flow are critical. That’s why manufacturers in industries from manmade fibers and polymers to food and medical devices have relied on Zenith gear pumps since 1926. With high metering accuracy, pulse-free flow, and long wear life across a wide range of fluid and pressure conditions, the Zenith Pumps brand is synonymous with high performance and reliability.
In addition to standard product offerings, Zenith can provide custom-engineered pumps for demanding services, such as submersible, flushable, and sanitary applications. Backed by the resources of CIRCOR Engineered Systems group, Zenith Pumps can provide a complete custom-engineered system along with the pump, from the tank to the controls, letting you focus on your core competency while we develop a fluid handling, mixing, or metering system aimed at providing the highest precision and reliability possible.
- The Zenith Planetary pump series supports manufacturing operations melt fiber production maximizing yields and run times.
- Reduced polymer shear and downstream thermal gradients resulting from optimized gear geometry and internal flow paths.
- Reduced polymer shear and downstream thermal gradients
- Superior pump pressure capability resulting from high strength components including a full diameter coupling housing plate
- Superior pump toughness and durability resulting from through hardened, particle metallurgy components.
