Gear pumps for plastic

Gear pumps for plastic manufacturing
The plastics industry is one of the economic engines. Whether in food packaging or components for the automotive industry, plastic is everywhere today. The new formulation increases the material's capacity and expands its application areas.

The growing diversity of materials and manufacturing processes places new demands on component suppliers. In almost all polymer production processes, gear pumps are used to move polymer around the plant and transport it to various process stages. Viscous melts place very special demands on the pump. Due to viscosity and process parameters, high-capacity, powerful and robust pumps are required to transport polymer melts.

For example, WITTE gear pumps are used in the production of thermoplastic elastomers such as TPE or TPU, polyamide or polyester.
