It is not absolutely necessary to install a melt pump in the blown film extrusion production line, but in some cases, installing a melt pump can bring many benefits. Whether to install it can be determined according to specific production and process requirements. Here are some factors to consider:
1. Improving the stability of melt pressure: The melt pump can provide stable melt pressure, which helps to control the thickness uniformity of the film during the blown film process. Without a melt pump, pressure fluctuations in the extruder may cause significant deviations in film thickness. If high precision is required for the thickness of the film, such as producing high-quality packaging film, industrial film, etc., installing a melt pump becomes particularly important.
2. Improve output and production efficiency: Melt pumps can accurately measure and transport melt, making the extrusion process more stable and efficient. It can to some extent increase the output of the extruder, reduce downtime and adjustment time caused by pressure fluctuations and unstable material conveying. For large-scale blown film extrusion production lines, the production efficiency improvement brought by melt pumps may bring significant economic benefits.
3. Adapting to high viscosity materials: When the blown film extrusion production line processes high viscosity polymer raw materials, the melt pump can better promote the flow of the melt and overcome the resistance caused by high viscosity. If there are special high viscosity materials involved in the production process, or if there are high requirements for the transportation and processing of the melt, installing a melt pump is a good choice.
4. Cost reduction: The installation and maintenance of the melt pump require a certain amount of cost investment. For some blown film production lines with low requirements for film quality, small production scale, low raw material viscosity, and relatively simple extrusion process, not installing a melt pump may be a more economical choice.
In summary, whether to install a melt pump in the blown film extrusion production line should comprehensively consider multiple factors such as film quality requirements, output, raw material characteristics, and cost. If there is a high pursuit of film quality and production efficiency, installing a melt pump is usually beneficial; If the production requirements are relatively simple, it is possible to meet the production needs without installing a melt pump.
