Application of Our Main Products in the Polyurethane Industry

The polyurethane (PU) industry—encompassing foam production, elastomer manufacturing, and coating applications—relies on precise material mixing, temperature control, and continuous fluid transfer. Key challenges include handling high-viscosity PU raw materials (e.g., polyols, isocyanates), maintaining strict mixing ratios, and withstanding reactive chemical environments. Our portfolio of 42 specialized products is engineered to address these needs, powering critical PU processes from raw material conveying and metering to foam molding and post-curing. By integrating high-precision fluid control, chemical-resistant designs, and stable transmission, our solutions help PU manufacturers improve product consistency, reduce material waste, and enhance production efficiency.

1. Core Product Solutions for the Polyurethane Industry

Our products are tailored to match the unique requirements of PU processing—from low-pulsation raw material transfer to precise mixing speed control. The table below details key products, technical specifications, and their targeted applications:

2. Competitive Advantages for Polyurethane Industry Applications

Our products solve four core challenges in PU production: precision metering for consistent foam quality, high-viscosity material handling, chemical resistance for durability, and energy efficiency for cost optimization.

2.1 Ultra-Precision Metering & Mixing (Guarantees PU Formulation Accuracy)

• Low-Pulsation Fluid Control: PU metering gear pumps deliver raw materials (polyols, isocyanates) with ±0.3% flow precision, ensuring strict 1:1 to 10:1 mixing ratios—critical for foam density consistency (reducing density variation by 40% vs. standard pumps).

• Stable Speed Transmission: Gear reducers maintain ±0.1% speed accuracy for mixing heads, preventing over-mixing (which causes foam shrinkage) or under-mixing (which leads to weak foam structure).

• Fast Response to Formulation Changes: Variable-speed motors adjust from 50 to 3,000 rpm in ≤0.2 seconds, supporting quick switches between PU foam types (e.g., flexible vs. rigid foam) without production delays.

2.2 Excellent High-Viscosity Material Handling

• High-Torque Design: Motors deliver 3× rated starting torque, easily driving pumps for high-viscosity PU resins (up to 100,000 cP) and preventing flow stalls in cold raw material storage environments (-20℃).

• Optimized Pump Geometry: Gear pumps feature wide tooth gaps and smooth flow channels, minimizing shear stress on sensitive PU formulations (avoids premature curing of isocyanates) while ensuring consistent flow.

• Anti-Cavitation Protection: Integrated pressure relief valves in pumps prevent air entrapment—critical for maintaining foam integrity (air bubbles cause weak spots in PU elastomers).

2.3 Strong Chemical Resistance (Withstands Reactive PU Media)

• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Pump housings and gears use hardened alloy steel (resistant to isocyanate attack), while seals adopt PTFE or Viton (compatible with PU catalysts and blowing agents)—tested to 3,000 hours of exposure to liquid isocyanates without degradation.

• Sealed Lubrication: Gear reducers use chemical-resistant lubricants (compatible with PU vapors) and double-lip seals, preventing oil contamination of raw materials (avoids foam discoloration or performance defects).

• Easy Residue Cleaning: Smooth, crevice-free surfaces on pumps and reducers allow quick wipe-downs with PU solvent (e.g., acetone), reducing cross-contamination when switching between different PU formulations.

2.4 Energy Efficiency & Low Maintenance for Cost Savings

• High-Efficiency Motors: IE4-rated motors reduce power consumption by 22% compared to standard motors—saving up to 1,500 kWh annually per PU mixing line.

• Long Service Life: Hardened steel gears and ceramic bearings extend product lifespan to 25,000+ operating hours (60% longer than industry averages), reducing replacement costs for high-use equipment like metering pumps.

• Minimal Downtime: Quick-disconnect pump heads and maintenance-free motor bearings cut service time by 70%—critical for 24/7 PU foam production lines (avoids costly raw material waste from unplanned stops).
