BOPP film extrusion melt pump

In the production of BOPP (bi-oriented polypropylene) film, the melt pump (gear pump) is one of the core components of the extrusion system, which is mainly used to stabilize the melt pressure, improve film thickness uniformity, and optimize production efficiency. The following is a detailed analysis of BOPP film extrusion melt pumps:

BOPP film extrusion melt pump

1. BOPP melt pump special requirements

Because BOPP film thickness uniformity, surface quality and production efficiency requirements are extremely high, melt pumps need to meet:

High precision flow control: gear clearance needs to be extremely small (usually <50μm), to ensure that no pulse output.

High temperature and wear resistance: BOPP processing temperature is usually in the range of 200-280 ℃, gear material needs to be nitrided steel or powder metallurgy steel (such as SKD61).

Low shear design: Avoid excessive shearing of PP melt leading to degradation (affecting film mechanical properties).

Quick changeover capability: reduce downtime for cleaning (e.g., rapid melt evacuation when switching from normal PP to matte PP).

2. Position of the melt pump in the BOPP line

Typical BOPP production line flow:

Extruder → **Melt pump** → Polymer Melt Filter → Die head → Casting roll → Longitudinal stretching (MDO) → Transverse stretching (TDO) → Winding

The melt pump, usually installed between the extruder and the filter, ensures a constant melt pressure into the die head.

Linkage with metering scales: the pump speed is adjusted in real time to match the extrusion volume through closed loop control.

3. Key selection parameters

Parameter Typical value Description
Flow rate range 100-5000 kg/h Selected according to production line capacity.
Working Pressure 10-30 MPa Matching die head resistance required
Temperature control 200-280°C Accuracy ±1°C to avoid thermal degradation.
Gear material Nitrided steel / ceramic coating Wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant
Sealing method Screw seal/hydraulic seal Melt leakage prevention

polymer melt pump

In BOPP film extrusion, polymer melt pumps are key equipment for quality, efficiency and energy saving. When selecting a pump, focus on flow accuracy, temperature resistance and low shear design, and choose the right brand and model in combination with line speed and film specifications. Regular maintenance can extend the service life of the pump and ensure the stability of film production.
