The Peregrine AeroFlow is an advanced external gear pump that was originally designed to deliver fuel to our hybrid electric powerplants. This type of pump operates by employing a set of precisely meshing gears to effectively transfer the working fluid throughout the pump casing.
One significant challenge in designing micro-gear pumps is the proportional increase in the gap between the gears and the casing as the pump size decreases. This increase can lead to inefficiencies and reduced head pressure. To address this issue, we implement cutting-edge materials and manufacturing processes that maintain tight and consistent tolerances while simultaneously controlling costs. This ensures that the AeroFlow pump remains efficient and reliable, even at smaller scales.

The AeroFlow pump leverages a blend of traditional and cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, enabling efficient mass production and assembly without the reliance on specialized tooling that often escalates costs, particularly for lower volume component production. At Peregrine Aerospace, our design philosophy emphasizes manufacturability and a resilient supply chain, ensuring that products like our pump remain cost-effective while maintaining high standards of quality and performance.

Absolutely! The AeroFlow can be tailored to meet diverse operating conditions. Whether you require alternative gear materials for corrosive fluids, different gasket specifications, increased head pressure, a different motor, or tighter tolerances, our team is ready to collaborate with you to customize the pump according to your specific application requirements.
-
The pricing of the AeroFlow pumps is influenced by several factors, including specifications, customizations, order quantity, and other variables. However, we can confidently state that the majority of AeroFlow pumps will remain well below the four-figure price range, delivering performance that matches or exceeds that of pumps typically priced in that bracket.
