Working Mechanism:

• Dayton 4KHK6 rotary gear pump head operates through a rotary gear mechanism.
• As the pump motor activates, the gear enclosed within the pump head begins to rotate.
• This gear creates a chamber that traps the fluid at the inlet side of the pump.
• As it continues to rotate, the trapped fluid is carried around the gear's periphery to the outlet side of the pump.
• The fluid is pushed out through the pump's discharge port under pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the significance of the rotary gear mechanism?

A. The rotary gear mechanism involves the rotation of gears within the pump head. This mechanism efficiently traps and moves fluids, ensuring a consistent flow and pressure during operation.

Q. How to maintain Dayton 4KHK6 rotary gear pump head?

A.

• Perform regular inspections to identify wear, damage or leaks.
• Keep the pump and surroundings clean to prevent debris entry.
• Check seals and gaskets for leaks, replacing as necessary.
• Monitor and maintain proper operating temperature.
• Avoid running the pump without fluid to prevent wear.
• Use only fluids compatible with the pump's construction materials.
• Ensure consistent fluid supply and proper inlet conditions.

Q. What are the factors to consider while choosing a rotary gear pump head?

A. Major factors include motor power, flow rate, pressure, inlet and outlet size, ease of installation, maintenance accessibility, noise and vibration levels, fluid compatibility, application requirements and construction durability.
