Roboze ARGO 500: production of components for Hydraulic Pumps in the chemical sector
How to create large parts in Polypropylene customized and with complex geometries
In the industrial sector, polypropylene or PP, a thermoplastic polymer, is frequently used due to its versatility in the production of films, pipes, packaging and technical equipment.
Polypropylene homopolymer is a type of PP with a high tensile strength and low density (about 0.9 g / cm3). This polymer is characterized by fair thermal resistance with a melting point above 165 ° C, is water repellent, and has good resistance to impact, abrasion, and steam sterilization. Polypropylene is one of the most widely used plastics in the world and its market size is expected to reach $105.49 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period.
It is often used in many industrial sectors, especially the chemical sector, to produce components that are in contact with chemical agents, volatile solvents, viscous fluids, and abrasive residues, such as, tubes or cups of machinery that deal with the transfer of fluids.
Depending on the needs and liquids handled, factories within the industrial chemical sector can use different types of pumps: for example, liquid jet vacuum pumps that produce a vacuum by inducing the evacuation of the siphon or suction lines; or volumetric pumps with a double flexible diaphragm, which through alternating movements induce the displacement of the fluid until it is expelled.
Both hydraulic machines can have PP components which, unlike metal parts, improve the flow of the liquid present and are not damaged or corroded even if in contact with particularly aggressive condensates or solvents.
ARGO 500, a printer of the Production Roboze series, allows the creation of large polypropylene parts, with complex and customizable geometries, allowing to maximize the performance of the machinery used, simplifying processes, and offering a production solution in line with the canons of the sector of reference.
Advantages of Metal Replacement
Metal Replacement Roboze allows the creation of parts by replacing metal, reducing maintenance, and optimizing the process using PP. In turn, it provides a valid production alternative to create parts suitable for rapid functional prototyping to allow, within laboratories, the identification of new geometries that will facilitate the use of machinery and solve frequent problems that are often unknown.
Including a Roboze ARGO 500 in your factory not only means complete design freedom to produce parts, but also the assurance of having the necessary components available to you when you need them most - thanks to the on demand and just in time production of this 3D system which aims to fully satisfy production needs and optimize waste.
