Fluoroplastic extrusion melt pump

A fluoroplastic extrusion melt pump is a piece of equipment that plays a crucial role in the plastic extrusion molding process. Below is a detailed introduction regarding its characteristics, applications, advantages, and key points for selection:

Characteristics

Strong corrosion resistance: Fluoroplastics possess excellent chemical stability, enabling them to resist the erosion of various corrosive media such as strong acids, strong alkalis, and organic solvents. This allows the fluoroplastic extrusion melt pump to maintain the integrity and stable performance of the pump body when handling corrosive plastic melts, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

Good high-temperature resistance: During the plastic extrusion process, the melt temperature is usually high. Fluoroplastics can maintain good physical and chemical properties at elevated temperatures, ensuring the normal operation of the pump in high-temperature environments without issues like deformation, softening, or performance degradation due to temperature increases.

Good self-lubricating property: Fluoroplastics have a low coefficient of friction, allowing for self-lubrication during operation. This reduces wear between internal pump components, lowers energy consumption, and improves the pump's operating efficiency and reliability.

Non-adhesive property: When plastic melts flow inside the pump, they tend to adhere to the surfaces of the pump body and rotor, affecting the pump's performance and product quality. The non-adhesive property of fluoroplastics can effectively prevent melt adhesion, ensuring stable melt delivery, reducing the frequency of shutdowns for cleaning, and improving production efficiency.

Applications

Chemical industry: It is used for the conveyance and processing of various corrosive plastic raw materials and additives, such as the extrusion molding of specialty plastics like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).

Electronic and electrical industry: When producing electronic insulating materials, wire and cable sheaths, and other products, the fluoroplastic extrusion melt pump can precisely convey high-temperature, high-viscosity plastic melts, ensuring the quality and performance of the products.

Medical industry: It is used in the manufacture of medical plastic products, such as infusion tubes and syringes, which have high requirements for plastic purity and extrusion precision. The fluoroplastic extrusion melt pump can meet these special needs.

Automotive industry: In the production of plastic components for automotive interiors, seals, etc., the fluoroplastic extrusion melt pump can provide stable extrusion pressure and flow, ensuring the consistency and quality stability of the products.

Advantages

Improved product quality: It can precisely control the flow rate and pressure of the plastic melt, resulting in higher dimensional accuracy and better surface quality of the extruded products, and reducing product defects and scrap rates.

Expanded production scope: It can handle various high-viscosity, highly corrosive plastic melts, broadening the production scope of plastic processing enterprises and enabling them to produce a wider variety of plastic products.

Energy saving and consumption reduction: With good self-lubrication and high operating efficiency, it can effectively reduce energy consumption. Meanwhile, due to its long service life, it reduces equipment maintenance and replacement costs, lowering the enterprise's production costs.

Easy operation: It has a relatively simple structure, making operation and maintenance convenient. The pump's operating parameters can be precisely adjusted through the control system to meet the requirements of different production processes.

Key Points for Selection

Flow rate and pressure requirements: Determine the required flow rate and pressure range of the melt pump based on the production output requirements and process parameters of the extrusion line. Ensure that the selected melt pump can meet the maximum flow rate and pressure demands during the production process.

Characteristics of plastic materials: Consider the viscosity, corrosiveness, temperature, and other characteristics of the plastic materials being processed. Choose the appropriate fluoroplastic material and pump type for the plastic material to ensure the pump's corrosion resistance and service life.

Precision requirements: If the production has high requirements for the dimensional accuracy and weight stability of the extruded products, a melt pump with high-precision metering functions should be selected.
