Acetone Gear Metering Pump
Gear metering pumps measure/transfer acetone, primarily used in industrial applications requiring high precision, pulsation-free, and stable delivery of low-viscosity solvents,
such as fine chemicals, coatings and inks, electronic cleaning, pharmaceutical intermediates, adhesives, printing, and coating.
I. Core Application Scenarios (by Industry)
1. Fine Chemicals and Solvent Preparation
As a low-viscosity solvent (acetone viscosity ≈ 0.32 cP), it is used for precise batching, formulation mixing, reactor feeding, and metering of catalysts/auxiliaries.
Typical: Acetone metering in resin synthesis, organic synthesis, pharmaceutical intermediates, and fragrance production.
Advantages: Gear metering pump accuracy ±0.5%~2%, pulsation-free, stable flow rate, suitable for the low viscosity and volatility of acetone.
2. Coatings, Inks, and Adhesives Industries
Coatings/Ink Production: In solvent-based systems, acetone is used as a diluent, cleaning agent, and fast-drying solvent for precise proportioning, color matching, and cleaning of pipelines/equipment.
1. Adhesives (e.g., polyurethane, epoxy): Acetone is used for dilution, cleaning, and viscosity adjustment; gear pumps ensure stable formulations and uniform coating.
2. Electronics and Semiconductor Cleaning: In electronic component, PCB, and chip manufacturing, acetone is used as a precision cleaning agent to remove photoresist, flux, and oil. Gear metering pumps
are used for quantitative liquid supply in automated cleaning lines, spray systems, and ultrasonic cleaning.
Advantages: Pulsation-free, high precision, avoiding the impact of cleaning fluid flow fluctuations on cleaning effect and yield.
3. Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics: In pharmaceuticals, acetone is used as a solvent in the synthesis, extraction, and purification of active pharmaceutical ingredients; it is also used for precise ingredient
dispensing and pre-filling metering in the production of oral liquids and topical preparations.
Cosmetics: In nail polish, perfume, and makeup remover products, acetone is used as a solvent; gear pumps ensure accurate formulations and batch stability.
4. Printing and Coating Industry: In flexographic/gravure printing, gear pumps are used for ink dilution and cleaning, for ink circulation, solvent addition, and automated cleaning systems.
Optical film, protective film, and tape coating: Acetone is used as a solvent/diluent; gear pumps provide pulse-free, high-precision delivery, ensuring uniform coating thickness.
6. Other industrial applications
Plastics/rubber processing: Acetone is used as a cleaning agent and mold release agent diluent for equipment and mold cleaning.
Laboratory/pilot production: Small-batch, high-precision acetone delivery and metering.
Surface treatment/coating: Acetone is used as a cleaning agent for degreasing and cleaning automotive and metal parts before coating.
II. Selection and Usage Considerations (Acetone-Specific)
Material: Pump body/gears preferably made of 316L stainless steel; seals made of PTFE or fluororubber, resistant to acetone corrosion.
Structure: External gear pumps are preferred (higher precision); magnetic drive/no-seal design, leak-proof and explosion-proof (acetone is flammable).
Cooling/Insulation: Acetone is volatile; temperature control, sealing, and ventilation are required to reduce volatilization and safety risks.
