New Discharge Gear Pump from Maag

Maag Pump Systems Textron has introduced a new discharge gear pump capable of increasing rates for existing-polymer plants. The compact construction of the vacorex® MR gear pump allows for an easy retrofit for existing-Maag discharge vacorex pump models. The main housing dimensions remain equal to Maag’s older vacorex generation III / IV / and V sizes. By using the same dimensions, Maag has made the new vacorex MR design easy to install into the existing pump space so polymer plants can significantly boost their capacities. In addition to higher rates, the vacorex MR yields improved polymer quality due to operating at lower speeds. More information is available at www.maag.com
