Gear pump for polymer processing


BOOSTER

The reliable transfer and booster gear pump for polymer processing

Gear pumps are used in the polymerization process, to boost the

pressure of medium to high viscosity media. They transport pre-po-

lymers and polymers, e.g. PET, PBT, PS, ABS and many more, very

gently Heating is either by way of heat transfer oil or steam. The core

components like shafts and friction bearings originate from the WITTE

building block system.

Seals / Applications

Seals
Viscoseal (VS)

The viscoseal is the standard seal for WITTE EXTRU and


BOOSTER pumps. This is a dynamic seal for high viscosities and
suction pressures. It can be provided with heating or cooling. The
dynamic seal is suitable for high pressures and temperatures. Its
range of use is limited by the suction pressure and the viscosity of
the medium being conveyed (at least 50 Pas). The viscosity can
be increased by an additional cooling system if necessary.

Viscosity: Temperature:

50 to 40.000 Pas max. 350 °C (662 °F)

Viscoseal (VS) with stuffing box

The stuffing box can be used as an additional seal for the vis-
coseal. The stuffing box is a simple (static) seal for WITTE gear
pumps. It can be provided with buffering if so desired. The range
of application is similar to that of the viscoseal. The standard
material used for the packing is made of expanded pure graphite
with structural textile fibers. But it goes without saying, that other
materials are also available.

Viscosity (stuffing box): Temperature:

max. 10.000 Pas max. 350 °C (662 °F)
