SGR Jacketed Internal Arc Gear Pump

Model: SGR

Externally Jacketed Type for Hot Oil or Steam Heating (up to 250°C)

The SPEW SGR Series is a jacketed Internal Arc Gear Pump designed for high-temperature fluid transfer applications where maintaining product temperature and viscosity is critical.
Its external heating jacket, round arc gear design, and robust metallurgy combine to deliver smooth, reliable, and thermally stable operation up to 250°C.
Ideal for bitumen, heavy oil, wax, and polymer processes, the SGR Series exemplifies SPEW’s commitment to precision, durability, and engineered excellence.

Description

The SPEW SGR Series Internal Arc Gear Pump is a jacketed rotary positive displacement pump designed for transferring viscous and temperature-sensitive fluids that require constant heat to maintain flow characteristics.
Equipped with an external heating jacket for hot oil or steam circulation, the SGR pump ensures uniform temperature across the casing and bearing areas, preventing solidification or viscosity variation during operation.

The round arc gear design offers smooth, quiet, and pulse-free fluid transfer, making the SGR Series highly suitable for bitumen, heavy fuel oils, molasses, resins, waxes, and polymer-based products.
Engineered for operating temperatures between 180°C and 250°C, it provides reliable performance, excellent volumetric efficiency, and long service life even in continuous-duty conditions.

Features

  • External Heating Jacket Design – Provides uniform heating through steam or hot oil circulation around the pump casing and covers.
  • High-Temperature Operation – Designed for safe and stable operation at fluid temperatures up to 250°C.
  • Round Arc Gear Profile – Ensures smooth, low-noise, and non-pulsating flow across a wide viscosity range.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction – Built with robust materials and precision tolerances to withstand thermal expansion and mechanical stress.
  • Self-Priming and Reversible Flow – Ideal for loading/unloading, transfer, and recirculation operations.
  • High Volumetric Efficiency – Maintains flow accuracy even at elevated temperatures and viscosities.
  • Versatile Material Options – Available in Cast Steel, Stainless Steel, Alloy Steel, or Ni-Resist for corrosion and heat resistance.
  • Seal Flexibility – Compatible with high-temperature mechanical seals, graphite packing, or cartridge seal systems.
  • Optional Safety Relief Valve – Protects against accidental overpressure and ensures process safety.

Structure

The SGR pump employs the internal round arc gear mechanism, consisting of an inner driving rotor and an outer idler gear that rotate eccentrically within the jacketed casing.
As the gears rotate, cavities form to draw in the liquid on the suction side and discharge it smoothly under pressure on the opposite side.

Main Components:

  1. Jacketed Casing: External jacket provided for hot oil or steam heating to maintain consistent fluid temperature.
  2. Rotor & Idler Gear: Precision-machined round arc profiles ensuring uniform torque and minimal pulsation.
  3. Bearing Housings: Designed for thermal expansion control and long bearing life under high-temperature operation.
  4. Front & Rear Covers: Fully jacketed, allowing continuous temperature control in process-critical areas.
  5. Seal Arrangement: High-temperature mechanical seal or graphite-packed gland as per medium compatibility.
  6. Optional Relief Valve: Prevents overpressure and system overload during operation.
