Pouring and extrusion

Airless pumps can be used not only for applying paints and coatings, but also for purposes such as transferring and extruding various materials. In this context, the term “transfer” refers to the transfer of liquids from one container to another, while “extrusion” refers to pressing materials through a nozzle to form a desired profile or shape. Here’s how airless pumps can be used for these applications:

  1. Transferring Liquids: Airless pumps can be used to transfer liquids from one tank or container to another. For example, they can be used to transfer liquids from large containers to smaller containers, simplifying the dosing and usage process.
  2. Transfer of Chemicals: Airless pumps can be used to transfer chemicals or corrosive liquids from a secure container to a point of use, reducing the risk of direct exposure to personnel.
  3. Extrusion of Viscous Materials: Airless pumps can be adapted for the extrusion of viscous materials such as mastics, adhesives and sealants. These materials are pressurized and pushed through a nozzle to form a specific line or profile.
  4. Production of Profiles and Shapes: In the manufacturing industry, airless pumps can be used for the extrusion of plastics, rubber or other materials, in order to create specific profiles or shapes for the ‘use in several applications.
  5. Precise Dosing: Airless pumps allow for precise dosing of liquids or viscous materials, ensuring a uniform and controlled application.
  6. Adaptation of Pumps: For these specific applications, airless pumps may require special configurations or accessories, such as extrusion nozzles or hoses adapted to the materials handled.
  7. Pressure Control: Pressure control of airless pumps is essential to ensure accurate dosing and extrusion. The pressure regulation allows to adapt the application to the specific needs.

Airless pumps can be adapted for a wide range of applications beyond just painting and coating due to their ability to dispense fluids and materials under pressure. However, it is important to select the appropriate pump type and accessories for the specific needs of your transfer and extrusion application.
