  • How Sliding Vane Pumps Outperform External Gear Pumps in Transport Applications

    Apr 12, 2022
    Lubricating liquids and petroleum products keep industries around the world functioning. To meet this global demand, operators require fluid transport solutions capable of optimizing loading and unloading. Two of the most used positive displacement (PD) pumping technologies for fuel offloading are external gear pumps and sliding vane pumps. While both pump designs have proven trustworthy in their own ways, there are multiple key performance parameters that may lead to sliding vane pumps being the better choice for liquid loading and unloading via truck. What are these key parameters? Find out by reading the complete white paper.
