Melt gear pump for extrusion system is referred to as melt pump, also known as melt metering pump or extrusion pump, which can be used in various extrusion industries, such as sheet, plate, pipe, film, pelletizing, wire drawing, cable, Co-extrusion, compounding, precision extrusion and other industries.
The main materials that can be conveyed by the melt gear pump are:
Thermoplastic materials and their blends
PET PBT PTT
PA6 PA66 PA12
PE LDPE LLDPE HDPE HMWPE
PP EVA PB
PB PS HIPS ABS SAN
PC PEK PMMA POM
TPU PLA PBS
Rubber and elastomer materials
NR BR CR NBR
IR IIR
SBR HNBR
EPM EPDM
PU TPU
ACM CSM
ECO SI
The main function of the melt pump:
1. Significantly improve the stability of die pressure and improve product quality;
2. It can realize the nearly linear output of the flow, which is easy to control;
3. Increase the extrusion volume and increase the output;
4. Reduce the load of the extruder, save energy and reduce costs.
The main features of our company’s melt gear pump:
1. Very small pressure and flow pulsation, can achieve linear output of flow, suitable for precision extrusion system;
2. Use different structures and material configurations for different working conditions to better meet the individual needs of users;
3. It can be applied to the working conditions of high temperature (350℃), high pressure (40MPa) and high viscosity (40,000Pa•s);
4. Precise structure, high precision and long life.

The installation structure of melt gear pump:
It is recommended to use a universal coupling to connect the reducer and the melt pump to eliminate the effects of thermal deformation; the melt gear pump is a positive displacement forced delivery pump, and the pump output flow can be adjusted by adjusting the pump speed. Frequency conversion is recommended. The speed mode can realize the nearly linear flow output of the gear pump.
