BKG® EP Extrusion Melt Pumps
Nordson offers a wide range of reliable melt pumps. The BKG EP melt pump is our standard extrusion pump suitable for extrusion, compounding and recycling applications.
Overview
The BKG® EP extrusion pump series is our most standard pump solution for a wide range of applications. The EP melt pumps optimize the process, so the extrusion line produces optimal quality with the highest throughput possible. They are equipped with a rheologically optimized inlet and outlet geometry to guarantee a controlled transport of material. Temperature and pressure sensor ports are included in the pump housing.
One Concept - Different Models
The standard BKG® EP-SE is designed to process standard polymers, and low viscosity plastics, e.g., polyolefins, and is equipped with electrical heating.
When processing shear-sensitive plastics, e.g., PMMA or PET, a short residence time is key to preventing degradation of the polymer. Specifically designed to meet this requirement, the BKG® EP-SE-EO model is equipped with smaller, rheologically optimized in-/outlet geometries.
Options At A Glance
| Options of BKG® EP Series | |
|---|---|
| Cooled Sealing System | Cooling rings for process stability, even for low-viscous polymers |
| Fluid Heating | Allows for a more sensitive temperature control |
| Regional Adaptability | Sealing options, drilling pattern, and connections |
Benefitting Your Process
Increase Profitability
- Maximize production efficiency by reducing extruder head pressure and increasing throughput
- Lower operating costs by reducing scrap and product defects
- Enhance diagnostic capabilities with elaborate sensor system
- Save polymer usage
Increase Quality
- Optimize surface and optical quality in the production of films, sheets, and profiles by eliminating pressure pulsations
- Improve dimensional accuracy in the production of films, sheets, and profiles
- Increase product quality in terms of homogeneity and pellet size in compounding applications
- Ensure gentle processing of the melt by reducing heat transmission to the polymer
Increase Convenience
- Easy start-up process
- Simple design for easy maintenance and low downtime
- No disassembly of the pump is needed thanks to interchangeable dynamic seals on the outside
