VISCOTEC: High-Volume Dispensing Pump
The VMP dispensing pump provides volumetric dispensing, regardless of viscosity.
The 2VMP22-3D dispensing pump from ViscoTec reportedly facilitates the dispensing of single-component fluids and pastes in larger quantities. Compared to existing dispensing pumps of the VMP series in the ViscoTec portfolio, the 2VMP22-3D offers larger dispensing capacity due to 3D geometry with the same frame size: > 5 liters per minute.
The pump also features 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. 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. As a result, customers whose main wear parts are seals and drive shafts can avoid approximately 50% of the costs.
ViscoTec reports that additional advantages of the VMP dispensing pump include:
- Volumetric dispensing, regardless of viscosity
- Can be used for shear-sensitive, filled, and abrasive materials
- Continuous pulsation-free dispensing
- Non-stick coated inner housing
- Linear dependency on application quantity and speed
- Programmable suck-back prevents dripping or stringing
- Long service life due to low wear
The 2VMP22-3D can be integrated into barrel emptying or material treatment systems, especially for containers with 20-200 liters. This previously required very large and heavy systems. However, the unit is also equally suitable for various dispensing applications as a stand-alone dispensing pump for single-component materials.
