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. It is recommended to use frequency conversion adjustment The speed mode can realize the nearly linear flow output of the gear pump.

Please consult with the manufacturers for the bigger or lower specification |
The flow rate of the melt gear pump is related to the working speed, material viscosity, and working pressure. Please consult the manufacturer for specific selection.
The selection needs to provide parameters: 1 flow or output 2 material name 3 material viscosity 4 material corrosivity/toxicity 5 inlet and outlet pressure (pressure difference) 6 operating temperature
In addition, according to the actual situation and requirements of the customer, you can choose the pump casing configuration without flow channel
