Melt Pump: Solution for Thickness Variation
Thickness variation in thin products like films, profiles, tubes, and sheets leads to resource waste and raw material loss. The problem can be categorized into:Pre-Die ProblemsThese relate to inconsistent polymer behavior due to:?Irreproducible batch quality?Unstable extrusion parameters: pressure, temperature, load, speedPost-Die ProblemsThese are easier to identify and address, typically involving:?Uncorrelated forces between output and attraction?Issues with parallelismSolution: Gear melt pumpA gear melt pump can neutralize pre-die issues, allowing separate management of post-die problems. This approach is more efficient and cost-effective.Benefits of a Gear Melt Pump?Pressure Transfer: Reduces screw-barrel torque, auto-heating, and energy consumption.?Increased Production: Boosts flow and production.?Pulsation Elimination: Stabilizes pressure and flow.?Dimensional Accuracy: Improves accuracy and appearance.?Reduced Scrap: Lowers scrap production.?Improved Quality: Ensures better homogeneity and pellet size control.?Temperature Control: Enhances temperature regulation.?Production Flexibility: Shortens start-up times.Using a gear melt pump improves product quality, efficiency, and cost savings.
