polyrex⁶ PR
Pressure booster pump for polyolefin production
polyrex⁶ PR is a high-pressure gear pump for polyolefin production that builds up pressure downstream of the compounder for the downstream equipment. The new x⁶ class performance geometry ensures high output at low shear stress and also handles low-viscosity polymers with which earlier pump generations failed.

Description
Thanks to the higher performance, the specific delivery capacity is 50% higher than that of older-generation pumps with the same housing size. For debottlenecking existing plants, MAAG offers alternative housing designs with interfaces matching older pump generations.
