Gear pump for continuous extrusion.


The Rubbex general purpose gear pump A Gear pump uses the meshing of gears to pump fluid by displacement. They are one of the most common types of pumps for hydraulic fluid power applications. Gear pumps however are also widely used in chemical installations to pump fluid with a certain viscosity.  for elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber.  processing, and the Rubbex Expac, a retrofit for existing extrusion lines, are highlighted in the company's two-page bulletin.

The Rubbex gear pump is a positive displacement A positive displacement meter is a type of flow meter that requires the fluid being measured to mechanically displace components in the meter in order for any fluid flow to occur.

A diaphragm meter, with which most homes are equipped, is an example of a positive displacement meter.
 pump which produces the same flow of a rubber compound at any given rpm, no matter what the discharge pressure Discharge pressure (also called high side pressure or head pressure) is the pressure generated on the output side of a gas compressor in a refrigeration or air conditioning system. .

Rubbex gear pumps have an expanding cavity on the suction side of the pump and a decreasing cavity on the discharge side. Rubber compound is allowed to flow into the pump as the cavity on the suction side expands and the material is forced out of the discharge side as the cavity collapses. Typical applications for semi-finished products include hose, pipe, rod, profile, sheet and preforms.
