Typical pump applications

Dosing polyemere with a diaphragm pump

Date: 08-09-2008

For the fabrication of melamine resin an involuntary quantity of acids, lye, pigments and hardeners are mixed. The composition of this mixture can change when preparing mixtures.

For the preparation of melamine resin acids, lye, pigments and hardeners are mixed in relative proportions, as needed for the composite of the resin.

Each Verderair double diaphragm pump pumps one of the ingredients to a balance. The balances each give a start / stop signal to the air operated pumps. In this way the exactly needed quantity is being dosed.

Melamine resin or melamine formaldehyde is a polymere that is a hard, thermosetting plastic material made from melamine and formaldehyde.
In domestic situations, housekeeping and in kitchens the material is often used. Melamine is also used for laminates and laminated flooring. Even boats and trains can contain melamine foam.
In this application the melamine resin is being used to coating of paper, folis etc.

Why a Verderair double diaphragm pump was selected?

The Verderair air operated diaphragm pumps have a very simple drive principle (the non stalling air valve works always). The pumps ae resistant against most chemicals and other aggressive fluids. The price of an Double Diaphragm pump is economically attractive.
And the pumps can rund dry, can work in Ex environments and are simple to maintain.
