Gear Pump Suited for Elastomers
Provides gentle conveying of high-viscosity polymers through the system at both high pressure and low shear.
Maag has designed a gear pump specifically for processing elastomers. The extrex⁶ is said to provide gentle conveying of high-viscosity polymers through the system at both high pressure and low shear. Maag will show the unit at the , September 21-23, Rosemont, Ill.
The compound is conveyed with a constant, precise flow even at high discharge pressures. Maag says this is a critical feature when processing extremely dry or sticky compounds, where former pump generations reached their limits due to scorch. As a result of reduced internal friction, the pump reportedly is highly efficient and extremely durable.
