With the launch of its 6th generation gear pumps, Maag redesigned every single component featured in its pump portfolio, from gears and shafts through to bearings and seals. An improved volumetric efficiency makes it possible to operate at reduced rpm, shear rates and temperatures, and consequently a narrower residence time distribution. This will impact production rate and pump lifetime, while reducing energy consumption by as much as 5 to 10 %. The advantage of an enhanced pump geometry will be welcomed by manufacturers of easily degradable prod-ucts, in particular during dega-ssing stages where minimum fill levels translate into reduced residence time. Customers will thus be able to minimise the levels of volatiles in their products.
