MAAG Gear Pumps Polymer Extraction Pumps for the Polymer Processing Industry - vacorex VX

MAAG has launched the vacorex⁶ six-stage polymer extraction gear pump. The vacorex⁶ enables modern polymer production processes, which require polymer pumps capable of discharging at high pressure, even with low fill and high vacuum conditions in the reactor/devolatilization vessel.

MAAG's vacorex⁶ polymer extraction pumps can handle a wide range of polymer grades without compromising quality. 

Reliable and maintenance-free, vacorex⁶ polymer gear pumps are designed to withstand the rigors of years of operation,

 making them the ideal solution for these applications.

Suitable for

Polymer production

Your ideal partner, innovative in traditional technology to meet the demands of chemical and industrial processes, demands tailor-made solutions and adaptable products. With pumps manufactured from modular components, Maag has found a way to combine attractive price points with short delivery times. Achieving this level of performance exemplifies the progressive thinking that has characterized our corporate culture since its inception. Another benefit of modularity is that all components are field-proven for reliable, long-term operation. Our global service network provides expert technical advice to ensure uninterrupted machine operation. Whatever your process requirements, whether involving pressure, temperature, or viscosity, a Maag pump system is the right choice.

MAAG Gear Pumps Polymer Extraction Pumps for the Polymer Processing Industry - vacorex VX Advantages
