Melt

Extrusion process requires reliable gear pumps to build melt pressure. The melt pump can be used to mantain a consistent pressure at the die or to compensate for pressure loss and fluctuation of a filtration system. The PAE Series Extrusion Gear Pumps are specifically designed for these applications. Rotating parts, fully made of core tempered High Speed Steel, make PAE series suitable for melts with abrasives particles at temperatures up to 350°C and discharge pressures up to 350 bar. Specifically engineered are available in order to reach 500 bar pressures. On demand pumps can be supplied with comprehensive electrical or fluid heating systems. Externally the pumps can be insulated and enclosed in stainless steel housing or with quick-removable insulation. On demand, full set of instruments, accessories and gauges is available for pump/heating system control.
