High-Pressure vs. Low-Pressure Pumps - Frequently Asked Questions
Will I meet my production requirements with a low-pressure pump?
Most likely, yes. Based on our experience, 95% of the world's corewinding adhesive supply needs can be met with a low-pressure diaphragm pump. Piston pumps generate unnecessarily higher output pressures than required.
Is a low-pressure pump suitable to work with corewinding adhesives?
Actually, low-pressure diaphragm pumps are better-suited! Due to the high solids content of nowaday's corewinding adhesives, high-pressure piston pumps require more maintenance and parts exchange to keep them in perfect working condition. The use of diaphragm pumps reduces labor and machine downtime associated with these maintenance tasks.
What option is the most cost-effective?
First, we need to consider the initial investment, where diaphragm pumps have a lower cost than high-pressure piston pumps. Then, when we add the costs associated with cleaning and maintenance, we can be confident in stating that diaphragm pumps are the most cost-effective option for corewinding processes.
Why Choose Valco Melton's DD1 Pump
No stalling. Adhesive feed rates on a corewinding extrusion line are very low and require extremely slow pump strokes. Typical diaphragm pumps stall regularly under these working conditions.
Valco Melton's DD-1 Pump features a unique electronic-reversing mechanism that allows the pump shaft to creep slowly and automatically reverse stroke without stalling. When used for intermittent output applications, the pump will stop, then immediately restart as the system requires.
