German manufacturer of systems for conveying, dosing, applying, filling, and emptying medium to high-viscosity fluids, ViscoTec, has added a new one-component dispensing pump, the 2VMP22–3D, to its VMP series. According to the company, the new pump offers a larger dispensing capacity, when compared to existing pumps in the VMP series, due to 3D geometry with the same frame size: 5 litres per minute.
It says another advantage of the pump is the option to choose different elastomers for the stators, which can be selected to suit the respective application. This makes the 2VMP22–3D suitable for applications with particularly abrasive or chemically aggressive materials.
A separable rotor assembly simplifies the disassembly of bearings and seals. This means that in the event of wear on the drive shaft or seals, it is no longer necessary to replace the entire rotor assembly, but only the drive shaft assembly. The rest can be reused. In this way, customers whose main wear parts are seals and drive shafts can avoid approximately 50 percent of the costs, the company explained.
ViscoTec says the new pump can be integrated into barrel emptying or material treatment systems – especially for containers with a 20 to 200 litre capacity. Previously, this required very large and heavy systems. It is also suitable for dispensing applications as a stand-alone dispensing pump for single-component materials.
