Where should the melt metering pump be installed on the extrusion production line?

The melt metering pump is one of the very important equipment in the extrusion production line. It can transport materials to the extruder according to the preset ratio and flow rate to ensure the stability of the production line and product quality. However, where should the melt metering pump be installed on the extruder during installation? This article will introduce the correct installation position of the melt metering pump on the extruder.

Firstly, the installation position of the melt metering pump should ensure its normal operation while avoiding unnecessary troubles. Generally speaking, the melt metering pump should be installed near the inlet of the extruder to ensure that the material can smoothly enter the extruder and avoid problems such as material blockage. In addition, the inlet of the melt metering pump should be higher than the inlet of the extruder to ensure that the material can fully enter the melt metering pump.

Secondly, the outlet of the melt metering pump should also be installed in a suitable position. Generally speaking, the outlet of the melt metering pump should be installed near the extruder to ensure that the material can smoothly enter the extruder and avoid problems such as unstable material flow rate. In addition, the outlet of the melt metering pump should also be higher than the outlet of the extruder to ensure that the material can be completely discharged from the melt metering pump.

In addition, the installation of the melt metering pump should also consider the maintenance and upkeep of the equipment. Generally speaking, the melt metering pump should be installed in a location that is convenient for maintenance and upkeep, which can facilitate operators to inspect and maintain the equipment. In addition, the installation of the melt metering pump should also consider the maintenance and replacement of the equipment, so as to facilitate maintenance and replacement when necessary.
