Application scenarios of melt pumps
The application scenarios of polymer melt pumps are diverse and span multiple industrial fields, particularly in the processing of high-temperature, high-viscosity polymer melts. Here are some key application scenarios of melt pumps:
Plastic Processing Industry
Production of Plastic Products: Melt pumps are widely used in the production of plastic sheet, board, pipe, film, and other products. They ensure stable melt conveyance and precise metering, thereby improving product quality and production efficiency.
Pelletizing and Mixing Processes: Melt pumps are also used in the pelletizing and mixing of plastic melts.
Chemical Fiber and Resin Industry
High-Pressure Output Requirements: Melt pumps are typically installed at the bottom of reactors as discharge pumps in the chemical fiber and resin industries. They are suitable for conveying high-temperature, high-viscosity polymer melts with high output pressure requirements.
Rubber Industry
Extrusion and Metering of Rubber Melts: Rubber melt pumps are specifically designed for rubber and elastomer melts. They are usually installed between the extruder outlet and die head, serving as melt metering pumps. These pumps ensure stable production and high quality of rubber products.
Pipeline and Chemical Fields
Pressure Stabilization and Metering: Pipeline melt pumps and chemical melt pumps are used for smooth pressure boosting and conveyance of medium to high-viscosity media in polymeric fluids, as well as for conveyance and metering of low to medium-viscosity materials. They meet the needs for conveying and metering polymer melts in pipeline and chemical fields.
Wood-Plastic Composite Profiles Production Lines
Extrusion of Wood-Plastic Profiles: Melt pumps are used in conjunction with wood-plastic-specific twin-screw extruders for the extrusion of profiles such as skirting boards and door trims.
Precision Extrusion Systems
Linear Output and High Precision: Melt pumps exhibit minimal pressure and flow pulsation, enabling linear output. They are suitable for precision extrusion systems, improving the dimensional accuracy and product quality of extruded products.
In addition, melt pumps offer several benefits in these applications, including:
Stable Flow and Pressure: Melt pumps effectively isolate the influence of pressure and flow fluctuations in the feed area on the discharge area, achieving stable flow conveyance.
Precise Control: By adjusting the pump's rotational speed, melt pumps can achieve precise flow control, which is crucial for producing high-quality products.
Increased Production Efficiency: When used in conjunction with single-screw or co-rotating twin-screw extruders, melt pumps can significantly improve the overall production line efficiency.
Reduced Energy Consumption: When integrated into mixing and extrusion pelletizing production lines, melt pumps can significantly reduce energy consumption.
Extended Equipment Life: The use of melt pumps reduces the pressure within the extruder screw cylinder, decreasing wear between the screw and cylinder, and thereby extending equipment life.
Overall, melt pumps have a wide range of applications across multiple industrial sectors, including plastics, chemicals, fibers, resins, and rubber. As industrial technology continues to advance and market demands evolve, the application fields of melt pumps are expected to expand further.
