Automotive Fluids & Paint‑Shop Pumps
Coolant, machining oil, e‑coat paint, and solvent transfer—handled by stainless gear pumps, mag‑drive sealless pumps, and AODD paint pumps from Roper, Blackmer, Wilden & Graco.
Pumps that Drive the Assembly Line
| Line Station | Technology | Brands | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paint circulation (base & clear) | AODD, lobe | Graco Husky, Wilden PZ | Low shear, explosion‑proof |
| E‑coat / dip tanks | Sealless mag‑drive | Finish Thompson UC | No seal = zero contamination |
| Machining coolant | End‑suction centrifugal | Grundfos NB, Goulds 3656 | TEFC motor, chip‑resistant impeller |
| Lube oil fill & blend | External gear | Blackmer GL, Roper A | Pulse‑free, accurate filling |

Sizing Considerations
- Paint shear & pigment settlement ⇒ low‑rpm AODD or lobe.
- Chemical compatibility with e‑coat phosphates & solvents.
- Heat gain in machining coolant loops (avoid foaming).
- ATEX/UL for solvent zones Class I Div 1.

Automotive Pump FAQs
What’s the max solids for paint circulation?
AODD pumps with 2″ ports handle up to 1/8″ solids. For metallic flakes, we use PTFE diaphragms and slow stroke rate.
Can mag‑drive pumps handle solvent flush?
Yes—use ETFE‑lined metallic mag‑drive. No mechanical seal to dry out during shutdown.
