thermorex⁶ TR/TB/TP/TO

Booster gear pump for the polymer industry

Manufacturer
MAAG

thermorex⁶ TR/TB/TP/TO is an x⁶ class transfer, booster or metering gear pump for the gentle conveying of high- and low-viscosity polymer melts. Low-compression gearing enables high pressure at low shear and a constant, precise flow rate even with low-viscosity products such as prepolymers.

Benefits

  • 25% higher wear resistance
  • 12% lower energy consumption
  • 10% higher volumetric efficiency
  • 40% lower temperature rise
  • 30% better heat transfer in the bearings
  • 50% lower pulsation
Applications:
  • Virgin polymer production
  • Masterbatch
  • Compounding
  • Recycling

Description

Polymer processes require pumps that gently convey high- and low-viscosity plastic melt through the entire system. The melt is conveyed at a constant, precise flow rate even at high discharge pressures, including prepolymers, where previous pump generations reached their limits.

In addition, the high efficiency and long service life of the pumps increase the capacity of the production plant.
