Mouvex C-Series sealless eccentric disc pump provides low shear, CIP and high volumetric efficiency for binder transfer applications.
A coatings plant that produces both cationic paste with pigment and cationic binders without pigment for truck shipment to automotive OEMs was experiencing difficulties when transferring the compounds from mobile tanks to trucks. In particular, the types of pumps that were being used were incapable of totally draining the pipes, hoses and mobile tanks used in the process, leading to wasted time and materials, as well as an increase in the probability of leakage. The trucks are loaded with cationic binder from mobile tanks, meaning frequent human involvement; therefore, the plant operators were looking to upgrade to a style of pump that would make the overall operation cleaner and more efficient.
Because of the unique types of binders that are handled, as well as the operators’ requirements for clean, time-sensitive performance, a versatile pump needed to be incorporated, one that is sealless, provides low shear, clean-in-place capabilities and high volumetric efficiencies.
