Efficient Pumps for Low to Medium Viscosity
Nordson’s BKG RP pump series provides reliable solutions for discharging low to medium viscosity melts in extrusion applications. These discharge pumps ensure efficient material handling and adapt to various processing requirements.
Overview
The BKG RP series are specialized discharge pumps designed to gently and efficiently handle low to medium viscosity polymer melts from reactors or tanks. To address the unique challenges of low-viscosity materials, these pumps feature an advanced sealing system that effectively prevents leakages, even under demanding processing conditions.
One Concept – Different Models
Processing low-viscosity polymers requires precision and adaptability. The BKG RP pump series offers various models that can be tailored to meet specific line requirements.
For shear-sensitive materials like PMMA or PET, where short residence times are essential to avoid polymer degradation, the BKG RP-LE-EO pump features smaller, rheologically optimized inlet and outlet geometries to ensure optimal performance.
