The rotational speed of the melt pump has a significant impact on the quality of granulation, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
I. Direct Correlation with Product Quality
Quality Improvement and Stabilization: As the rotational speed of the melt pump increases, the quality of the product generally exhibits a growing trend. When the speed reaches a certain level (e.g., above 8r/min), the product quality tends to remain stable. This indicates that increasing the rotational speed of the melt pump contributes to enhancing the overall quality of the product, but its effectiveness may plateau after reaching a certain threshold.
Fill Rate and Detail: The increased rotational speed of the melt pump can elevate the injection pressure, thereby improving the fill rate of products with complex microstructures. For products requiring high-precision filling, increasing the rotational speed of the melt pump is an effective means.
II. Stability of the Extrusion Process
Pressure and Flow Stabilization: One of the primary functions of the melt pump is to stabilize the pressure and flow of the molten material. By adjusting the rotational speed of the melt pump, precise control over pressure and flow can be achieved, minimizing fluctuations during the extrusion process and ensuring its stability and consistency.
Enhanced Die Head Pressure Stability: The melt pump significantly improves the stability of die head pressure through pressure boosting or stabilization operations. This is crucial for enhancing product quality, as stable die head pressure helps reduce defects and variations in the product.
III. Boosting Production Volume and Efficiency
Increased Extrusion Output: Elevating the rotational speed of the melt pump typically translates to an increase in extrusion volume, effectively enhancing product output. This is significant for the production of high-value-added, high-precision products.
Energy and Cost Savings: By adjusting the rotational speed of the melt pump to reduce the demand on screw pressure, the load on the extruder can be decreased, leading to energy savings and reduced production costs. This positively impacts the long-term development and competitiveness of enterprises.
IV. Comprehensive Influence of Other Factors
Nozzle Temperature: In addition to the rotational speed of the melt pump, nozzle temperature is also a crucial factor affecting granulation quality. Closely related to melt temperature, thermal expansion, and cooling contraction, nozzle temperature jointly influences the fill rate and final quality of the product.
Material Properties: Different types of raw materials may respond differently to the rotational speed of the melt pump. Therefore, in actual production processes, it is necessary to select appropriate rotational speeds and other process parameters based on the characteristics of the raw materials.
In summary, the rotational speed of the extrusion melt pump exerts multifaceted influences on the quality of granulation. By reasonably adjusting the rotational speed, significant improvements can be achieved in product quality, stability, and output, while simultaneously reducing production costs and conserving energy. However, it is also essential to consider the comprehensive effects of factors such as nozzle temperature and material properties to ensure that the final product quality meets expected requirements.
