Low Noise, High Efficiency Gear Pumps

Product catalog summary
Introduction to Elika Series
The Elika series by Marzocchi consists of helical gear pumps designed to reduce noise and pulsation, achieving up to 20 dBA noise reduction compared to conventional gear pumps. The patented Elika profile prevents air encapsulation, a common noise and vibration source in standard gear pumps.
Specifications and Features
Available in groups 2, 3, and 4, Elika pumps feature a helical gear design with a low number of teeth, reducing pressure oscillations and vibrations. An axial compensation system balances axial forces, reducing internal leakage and enhancing volumetric efficiency. Suitable for low-speed, high-pressure operations, they are available in both clockwise and counterclockwise rotations.
Performance and Efficiency
The Elika series supports a wide rotational speed range and can handle large working pressures and viscosity bands, maintaining high volumetric and mechanical efficiency. Specific compensation areas in the flange and cover allow free axial and radial movement of the bushings.
Installation and Maintenance
Installation guidelines for series 2, 3, and multiple pumps include system cleaning and filtering, managing inlet pressure, and ensuring proper rotation and drive. The design minimizes internal leakage and overheating, ensuring longevity and reliability.
Ordering and Dimensions
Detailed ordering codes, dimensions, and performance data are provided for series 2, 3, and 4, including flange, shaft, and port details for compatibility and ease of integration.
Conclusion
The Elika series advances gear pump technology with significant noise reduction and improved efficiency, suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, adhering to international standards and certifications.
Design Features
The Elika pump's patented profile eliminates air encapsulation, reducing noise and vibrations. The helical gear design ensures continuous flow and reduces noise levels by an average of 15 dBA compared to conventional gear pumps. Anodized aluminum plates keep the unit lightweight yet capable of handling high pressures.
Performance Comparison
The Elika pump demonstrates superior operational qualities in terms of rotation speed, work pressure, and viscosity range compared to other volumetric pumps like external gear pumps, piston pumps, and vane pumps.
Hydraulic Fluids
Recommended fluids are mineral oil-based with properties such as anti-wear, anti-foaming, antioxidant, anti-corrosion, and lubricating. These should comply with DIN 51525 and VDMA 24317 standards and pass the 11-stage FZG test. The fluid temperature should be between 10°C and 80°C, with kinematic viscosity ranges specified.
Filtration Specifications
Effective filtration is emphasized, particularly for small particles, to ensure system efficiency. The document highlights the need to limit both the maximum dimensions and the number of smaller particles passing through the filter, especially as operating pressure increases.
Inlet Pressure and Lines
Under standard conditions, intake pipe pressure is below atmospheric pressure, with an operating range of 0.7 to 3 bar (absolute). Pipes should avoid sudden changes in direction and maintain recommended fluid velocities.
Drive and Couplings
Pumps should be connected to motors using flexible couplings to prevent radial and axial forces on the pump shaft, which could reduce efficiency. Self-lubricating gear couplings are recommended.
Seals
Two versions are available: "N" standard version for temperatures between -10°C and +80°C, and "V" fluorocarbon version for high temperatures up to +120°C.
Noise Level Calculation
A method for calculating the noise level of multiple pumps is provided. For example, if the noise levels of two pump stages are 56 dBA and 53 dBA, the difference is 3 dBA, and 1.8 dBA is added to the higher value, resulting in a total noise level of 57.8 dBA.
Torque Transmission Verification
The maximum transmissible torque between pump elements is 100 Nm. For double pumps, configurations are unrestricted, but the resistance of the front shaft must be verified. The total transmitted torque should be less than the shaft's upper limit.
