Vacuum systems Gneuss vacuum systems play a key role in the devolatilization process in recycling operations. Vacuums suck out monomers, oligomers and other solid particles or sublimates, as they’re separated from volatiles, which are extracted from the melt. If the particles reach the pump, they can drastically reduce its operating life.
What’s new? An optional automatic cleaning system for Gneuss’ water-ring pump-based vacuum system, and design upgrades that make it easier to maintain. The vacuum systems are offered mainly with Gneuss’ OmniMax systems for polyolefin applications and its OmniBoost systems for polyester applications. An OmniMax system is shown.
Benefits Improved ease of maintenance and reliability. The systems are robust enough to handle tough recycling applications.
