<strong>The</strong> <strong>world</strong> <strong>leader</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>proven</strong> <strong>processing</strong> <strong>solutions</strong>.<br />
<strong>Gear</strong> pumps and filtration systems <strong>for</strong> the polymer industry
op-quality products don’t just fall off trees. <strong>The</strong>y are borne from ingenious,<br />
creative talent that never gives up scrutinizing and improving the product to make<br />
sure the end result is as good as it can possibly be. By the same token, increasingly<br />
cost-effective <strong>solutions</strong> can only be found by working in close collaboration with<br />
our customers. Success lies in devising <strong>solutions</strong> that balance considerations<br />
between the technical and commercial aspects at every stage of the process.<br />
Whether developing proprietary tools and programs or working to stringent safety<br />
and quality specifications, this passion <strong>for</strong> excellence creates top quality products<br />
and is the reason why Maag Pump Systems is the industry’s most trusted name<br />
<strong>for</strong> high per<strong>for</strong>mance polymer gear pumps and filter systems.
<strong>Gear</strong> pumps<br />
Optimizing the polymer process. Polymers are made,<br />
processed, and finished using a number of different techniques. During the man-<br />
ufacturing process, polymers exist as viscous melts or powders that react to<br />
different influences. Short exposure times, low energy input, and extremely low<br />
pulsation pumping are key factors <strong>for</strong> gentle treatment of the melt, and hence<br />
significantly higher product quality. Maag Pump Systems gear pumps meet all<br />
these criteria, making polymer processes even more cost-effective.<br />
Does your process require stable pumping of highly viscous substances at<br />
elevated temperatures? Or do you have to consider constant, controlled flows<br />
within a steady production rate process? Whatever the nature of your process,<br />
Maag Pump Systems products are designed to your needs, are versatile, and<br />
have been <strong>proven</strong> over the years to enhance process per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />

<strong>Gear</strong> pumps<br />
Pumps <strong>for</strong> every process. Maag Pump Systems gear<br />
pumps are positive displacement pumps <strong>for</strong> high pressure applications that in-<br />
crease the efficiency of your process. <strong>The</strong>y are commonly found in processes as<br />
reactor feed, reactor discharge, and booster pumps <strong>for</strong> low and high-viscosity<br />
applications. Our expertise, developed from our close collaboration with cus-<br />
tomers, is the key to our advanced product development. This greatly enhances<br />
our value, quality, and dependability in the polymer, chemical, and petrochemical<br />
industries.<br />
Maag Pump Systems guarantees flow stability and consistency, even at<br />
maximum outlet pressures. And thanks to optimized internal flow geometries,<br />
we routinely handle pumping from near total vacuum and other extremely low<br />
inlet pressure conditions.<br />
Maag Pump Systems has made a name <strong>for</strong> itself as a pioneer in the deve-<br />
lopment of gear pumps <strong>for</strong> the polymer industry. Reliability and quality are guaran-<br />
teed by modern manufacturing methods and state-of-the-art working pro-<br />
cesses.<br />
Permanent improvements mark the company’s research genius. Thanks<br />
to the introduction of various pump types, still better adjustments to the custo-<br />
mers’ specific application processes are facilitated:<br />
• GP <strong>for</strong> a wide range of applications<br />
• HV with a 25% higher transport volume compared to a GP model<br />
• HP <strong>for</strong> pressure differentials up to 300 bar<br />

10 <strong>Gear</strong> pumps<br />
Shaft seals. As a pioneer in gear pump technology, Maag Pump<br />
Systems has been instrumental in shaping the technology and development of<br />
sealing systems <strong>for</strong> the polymer industry. Products such as vispac ® , vislip ® , and<br />
our proprietary mechanical seal are examples of this. After all, a gear pump’s<br />
dependability hinges on the reliability of its sealing system.<br />

12 Compounding<br />
Pressure generation in the compounding process.<br />
Polymer pellets and flakes such as polypropylene and polyethylene are created<br />
over a number of steps. <strong>The</strong> compounding process that is the basis of this techno-<br />
logy is a continuous sequence of pumping, melting, mixing, and homogenizing<br />
to create a finished or semi-finished product from the various raw materials.<br />
To get a more processable pellet the basic polymer, together with any ad-<br />
ditives or fillers, will be fed into a mixer or extruder where they are melted, mixed,<br />
and then homogenized. <strong>The</strong> pump installed downstream of the mixer or extru-<br />
der transfers the melts <strong>for</strong> filtering and final pelletizing. <strong>The</strong> only conveying equip-<br />
ment needed is a gear pump such as the polyrex ® from Maag Pump Systems.<br />

1 Compounding<br />
polyrex ® goes gentle on melts. Extruders without gear<br />
pumps require a certain length to generate the required pressure. This length<br />
depends on the rheological properties of the polymer melts and the extruder<br />
itself. However, the process invariably involves inefficiencies as some of the<br />
extruder’s mechanical energy is converted into non-useful heat. In the case of<br />
temperature-sensitive polymers, the permitted melt temperature cannot be ex-<br />
ceeded without the melt being permanently damaged.<br />
On compounding lines with a polyrex ® gear pump downstream, virtually all<br />
the pressure built up by the extruder or kneader is no longer needed since the<br />
more efficient pump has taken over the responsibility <strong>for</strong> pumping. This in turn<br />
can lower the melt temperatures in the extruder by as much as 30 °C, and yields<br />
an overall energy saving of as much as 25% <strong>for</strong> the extruder and pump together<br />
versus a line running with an extruder alone.<br />
A pressure regulator keeps the suction-side melt pressure of the polyrex ®<br />
gear pump constant by tracking the speed of the pump. What’s more, certain<br />
parameters such as bearing temperatures are continuously monitored. This<br />
guarantees an optimum running process at all times.<br />
Properties of polyrex ®<br />
• Gentle pumping of polymer melts<br />
• Preparation of different polymers melts with large Melt Flow<br />
Index ranges<br />
• Throughputs up to 100 tons per hour<br />
• Higher system throughput rates than without gear pumps<br />
• Constant throughputs independent of pressure<br />
• Lower energy requirements, with total annual energy savings<br />
as high as 25%<br />
• Long service life and durability<br />
• Reduced wear on the extruder barrels and screws<br />
• Shaft and bearing cooling possible, including retrofits,<br />
<strong>for</strong> increased output rates
<strong>The</strong> benefits of the gear pump system. Both shafts<br />
can be independently driven and synchronized by an external gear reducer,<br />
rather than having one gear driving the other. Within the pump, this reduces the<br />
friction between the tooth flanks and ensures even <strong>for</strong>ce distribution over the<br />
two gears. A set of separate drive shafts between the gear box and polyrex ®<br />
sets the backlash clearance between the gear teeth to prevent them from con-<br />
tacting each other. <strong>The</strong> following options are offered:<br />
• <strong>Gear</strong> couplings<br />
• Shaft and bearing cooling <strong>for</strong> increased output rates<br />
• Cooling equipment<br />
• Transfer and reduction gearbox that can be used<br />
in tandem<br />
• Lubrication oil gearbox supply units<br />

<strong>The</strong> benefits of the polyrex ® gear pump system are:<br />
• Extended life of the shafts<br />
• Gentle pumping of polymer melts<br />
• Increased reliability<br />
Compounding<br />
Retrofitable shaft and bearing<br />
cooling. <strong>The</strong> larger the gear pump, the greater the heat<br />
generated in the bearings. Excess temperatures reduce<br />
throughput by limiting the allowable pump speed. It can<br />
also damage the polymer that serves as a lubricant between<br />
bearings and shafts as it is pumped. Maag Pump Systems<br />
has developed a new generation of gear pumps with com-<br />
bined shaft and bearing cooling. This option has been<br />
<strong>proven</strong> to effectively dissipate internal pump heat build up,<br />
enabling higher pump speeds and throughputs. Installed<br />
gear pumps can also be field retrofitted to take advantage<br />
of this benefit.<br />

1 Filter systems<br />
Filtering is always important. Reliable filtration has be-<br />
come a given in the production process. It is growing in importance <strong>for</strong> product<br />
quality and, ultimately, end customer satisfaction. <strong>The</strong> degree to which products<br />
have to be filtered, and the rates at which they have to be filtered, is also<br />
increasing. That is why the filter technology team at Maag Pump Systems is<br />
committed to continuously improving and expanding the range of our large area<br />
filtration systems and candle screen changers.<br />
Maag filter systems are the best choice <strong>for</strong> any application that requires<br />
the highest filtering quality and the shortest possible residence times. Our engi-<br />
neers have developed methods to model your conditions, resulting in the optimum<br />
filter system design.
Maximum purity with flexible use of media.
1 Filter systems<br />
Robust, long term <strong>solutions</strong>. Minimal residence times and<br />
highly efficient heat exchange are hallmarks of Maag large area filter systems.<br />
A filter system with efficient filter media, hydraulically balanced candle filter bundle,<br />
and controller monitored switchover processes all serve to enhance your polymer<br />
filtering effectiveness.<br />
Maag Pump Systems can make a filter system to your particular require-<br />
ments. Heavy duty metal woven media offers effective protection against conta-<br />
mination while assuring a long service life. Our micronex ® filter elements offer<br />
filtrationratings from 0.5 to 200 microns.<br />
Maag Pump Systems supplies large area filtration systems as simplex or<br />
duplex systems with a switchover or diverter valve. With duplex filter systems, con-<br />
trollers regulate the valves to prevent hydraulic shocking during switchovers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Maag duplex system design has benefited<br />
from long-standing, practical experience:<br />
• Simplified switchover (virtually bumpless)<br />
• Increased heat transfer<br />
• Minimized residence time<br />
• Improved sealing<br />
• Simplified draining<br />
• Simplified container replacement<br />
• Reliable operation<br />
• Improved access <strong>for</strong> maintenance<br />
• Automated controls available
Maag Pump Systems screen changers offer<br />
a host of benefits to enhance the quality of<br />
your production process:<br />
Filter systems<br />
Dramatically increased screen area. <strong>The</strong> sophisticated<br />
filtering technology of Maag Pump Systems is based on a <strong>proven</strong> piston design<br />
that works without seals. <strong>The</strong>se single and dual piston screen changers <strong>for</strong> candle<br />
filter offer years of leak-free filtration.<br />
• Rheologically optimized flow channels<br />
• Material residence time less than 30 seconds<br />
• Candle changes in less than 10 minutes<br />
• Simple start-up and operation<br />
• Leak-free operation<br />
• Trouble-free venting<br />
• No seals or wearing parts to fail<br />
• A variety of installation positions and orientations available<br />
• Compact design<br />
For years they have been used in the fiber industry <strong>for</strong> effective protection<br />
against gels and contaminants in PET, PA, and similar thermoplastics. <strong>The</strong> effec-<br />
tive screening area of the candle filter screen changer is about 60 times larger<br />
than that of a flat screen. Screen areas as large as several square feet or square<br />
meters mean longer service life with longer intervals between back flushing or<br />
removal and cleaning, less pressure loss, and deeper filtration that captures soft<br />
particles such as gels. A screen changer fitted with candle filters can also add to<br />
the service life of the spin-packing on a fiber web and enable high-per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />
filtering not otherwise possible with flat screen packs.<br />

20 Total <strong>solutions</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> total is greater than the sum of individual<br />
parts. Maag Pump Systems manufactures its gear pumps and filter systems<br />
with considerable attention to detail. Equally important, however, is having the<br />
appropriate support equipment to make the individual parts into a practical whole.<br />
In the interest of offering such a solution, Maag Pump Systems also offers the<br />
following<br />
Heat exchangers<br />
Our blendrex ® heat exchangers can be used either<br />
as pre-heaters or coolers. <strong>The</strong>y control polymer melt<br />
temperatures at viscosities as high as 10,000 Pa s.<br />
Alternating right- and left-hand helical elements<br />
that <strong>for</strong>m a unique pattern of simultaneous flow<br />
division and radial mixing. <strong>The</strong>se mixers are particularly<br />
effective with uneven temperature distributions<br />
and insufficiently mixed color concentrations.<br />
Diverter valves<br />
<strong>The</strong> divex ® diverter valve is a patented 3-way valve.<br />
Used in a duplex filter system, it allows filter vessels<br />
to be changed without interrupting the process.<br />
This valve is also used in pelletizing, film, and fiber<br />
processes as a switchover valve <strong>for</strong> activating<br />
pumps, extruders, pelletizers, and other equipment.<br />
Static mixers<br />
Our standard, pre-engineered thermoprofilers or<br />
static mixers provide cost-efficient mixing of at<br />
least two fluid streams. Our custom designed<br />
blendrex ® mixing elements continuously split the<br />
delivered flow, remix it, homogenize it, and symmetrically<br />
set the melt’s temperature gradients to<br />
assure even mixing, uni<strong>for</strong>m additive dispersion,<br />
and temperature profile consistency.

An Early Pioneer. Max Maag, who founded the subsequent<br />
Maag gear plant, saw the potential of gear wheels from the outset. Besides his<br />
engineering company he established a manufacturing plant <strong>for</strong> gear wheels, and<br />
in 1928 he delivered his first gear pump. Since then, his company consistently<br />
expanded and fabricated innumerable gear pumps that have been and are still<br />
being used successfully – from the smallest pump in the low-pressure range to<br />
huge units that can move up to 100 tons of polymer per hour. No other pump<br />
company in the <strong>world</strong> can lay claim to such an accomplished history or record<br />
of experience.
