Application of Delta PD Pumps for the Paint Industry
The paint industry involves the handling of high-viscosity, pigment-rich, and abrasive fluids, which require pumping solutions that deliver consistent flow, gentle handling, and long service life. Delta PD Pumps are well suited for paint manufacturing processes where reliability and product quality are critical.
Application Overview
Paint production includes the transfer of resins, binders, pigments, additives, and finished paints across various stages such as mixing, dispersion, milling, storage, and filling. Delta Positive Displacement Pumps ensure smooth, controlled, and low-pulsation transfer, preventing damage to pigments and maintaining uniform paint consistency.
Suitable Delta PD Pump Types for Paint Industry
- Internal Gear Pumps, Twin Screw Pumps -: Raw material transfer (Resins, solvents, oils, plasticizers)
- Progressive cavity pumps -: Pigment & slurry transfer
- Progressive cavity Pumps, Internal Gear Pumps -: Grinding & Milling Feed (Ball Mill/Bead Mill feed)
- Internal Gear Pumps : Mixing & Batch Transfer
- Internal Gear Pumps : Finished Paint Transfer
Key Advantages
- Handles high-viscosity and non-Newtonian fluids effectively
- Suitable for abrasive and pigment-rich media
- Low shear pumping to preserve colour dispersion and finish
- Accurate and repeatable flow for batch and continuous processes
- Robust Construction for demanding industrial environments
Typical Paint Industry Applications
- Transfer of finished paints and coatings
- Pumping of pigment pastes and dispersions
- Feeding of mixers, reactors, bead mills, and sand mills
- Handling of resins, solvents, and additives
- Filling and packaging operations
Application of Delta PD Pumps for the Ink Industry
The ink industry involves the handling of highly viscous, pigment-rich, shear-sensitive, and abrasive fluids, requiring pumping solutions that ensure uniform flow, gentle handling, and consistent product quality. Delta PD Pumps are ideally suited for various ink manufacturing and processing applications.
Application Overview
Ink production includes the transfer of pigments, resins, solvents, additives, and finished inks through processes such as dispersion, mixing, milling, storage, and filling. Delta Positive Displacement Pumps provide smooth, low-pulsation, and controlled transfer, ensuring pigment integrity and uniform colour consistency.
Suitable Delta PD Pump Types for Ink Industry
- Shuttle Block Pumps – For very high-viscosity, pigment-loaded inks
- Gear Pumps – For resins, binders, and medium-viscosity inks
- Screw Pumps – For continuous, low-shear ink circulation and transfer
Key Advantages
- Handles high-viscosity and non-Newtonian inks
- Suitable for abrasive and pigment-laden media
- Low shear pumping, preserving pigment dispersion and colour strength
- Pulse-free and consistent flow for accurate processing
- Robust construction for continuous industrial operation
Typical Ink Industry Applications
- Transfer of printing inks (offset, gravure, flexographic, inkjet)
- Pumping of pigment dispersions and concentrates
- Feeding of bead mills, sand mills, and mixers
- Circulation of inks in storage and processing systems
- Filling and packaging of finished inks
