Abstract
A sealant application includes an interface structure having an interface for interfacing with a source of sealant and a nozzle structure including a nozzle for dispensing sealant. A gear pump module including a gear pump is configured to be detachably connectable to each of the interface structure and the nozzle structure such that sealant provided at the interface is pumpable by the gear pump from the interface to the nozzle.
