Plastic bottle cap extrusion melt pump

The plastic cap extrusion melt pump is a crucial piece of equipment in the plastic extrusion production line, playing a vital role in the production process of plastic caps. Below is a detailed introduction to the plastic cap extrusion melt pump:

I. Structural Characteristics

The plastic cap extrusion melt pump is mainly composed of components such as the pump body, pump shaft, gears, bearings, and seals.

Pump Body: It is typically made of corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant alloy materials, capable of enduring high pressure and temperature to ensure stable operation of the pump.

Pump Shaft: Made of high-strength steel, it can withstand torque and bending loads, ensuring the strength and stability of the pump shaft.

Gears: Specially designed with large modulus gears, they reduce the pump's rotational speed, increase its output pressure, and ensure stable conveyance of the melt.

Bearings: High-precision and high-rigidity bearings are used, capable of enduring high-speed rotational loads, reducing friction and wear, and enhancing the pump's service life.

Seals: Heat-resistant and wear-resistant seals are employed to guarantee the pump's sealing performance and prevent melt leakage.

II. Working Principle

The plastic cap extrusion melt pump is a volumetric pump that relies on the change in working volume caused by the meshing of gears to convey liquid. When two intermeshing gears rotate, the gear teeth have a small clearance with the inner bore surface of the casing, and the gear end faces have a small clearance with the cover plate, separating the suction chamber from the discharge chamber. As the gears rotate, the teeth on the left side of the mesh gradually exit the mesh, increasing the space and forming a partial vacuum to draw the melt into the suction chamber; whereas the teeth on the right side of the mesh gradually enter the mesh, extruding the melt between the teeth and thereby conveying the melt.

III. Applications in Plastic Cap Production

Material Conveyance: The melt pump converts plastic granules into molten plastic fluid and conveys it to the extruder, providing a continuous supply of raw materials for production.

Pressure Stabilization: The melt pump operates under high pressure and maintains stable pressure output, ensuring the extruder's operational efficiency.

Uniform Mixing: The melt pump can uniformly mix different types of plastic granules, resulting in more uniform composition of extruded products (such as plastic caps).

Production Increase: The melt pump enhances the output of extruded products, reduces production costs, and improves production efficiency.

Flow Control: By adjusting the rotational speed of the melt pump, the flow rate of the melt can be precisely controlled, ensuring consistency during the extrusion process.

Homogenization of Melt: During melt conveyance, the melt pump achieves shear and mixing of the melt through gear rotation, thereby improving the melt's uniformity and stability.

IV. Selection and Maintenance

When selecting a plastic cap extrusion melt pump, parameters such as flow rate, pressure, power, and rotational speed need to be considered to ensure that the pump meets production requirements. Additionally, attention should be paid to the pump's material and sealing performance to ensure stable operation in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. During use, regular maintenance and servicing of the pump are required, including cleaning the pump body, replacing seals, inspecting bearings, etc., to extend the pump's service life.

In summary, the plastic cap extrusion melt pump plays a crucial role in the production process of plastic caps. By understanding its structural characteristics, working principle, and applications in production, this equipment can be better utilized to improve production efficiency and product quality.
