bench through a very user-friendly interface. This
software also contains a reliable remote assistance
feature thanks to our unique VPN protocol. Probus
has been designed to communicate with the factory
network (L3 type) in order to allow the exchange of
data in real time and, of course, to ensure perfect
traceability of each tube or batch. Clients also have
the possibility of checking or auditing reports per
tube or per batch several months later.
The combined test bench is a good example of our
ability to meet clients quality control needs through
reliable, integrated, non-destructive testing solutions.
Today CMS offers the most effective solutions of
the market and we are committed to supplying our
clients with highly advanced combined test benches
featuring UT & ET devices as well as supervision
software.

New Online Tool Automatically Calculates
Resin Savings and Investment Payback
After Installation of a Gear Pump
BKG® BlueFlow™ Gear Pumps from Nordson
Substantially Reduce Pressure Variation, Making
Possible a Return on Investment in a Matter of Months
Nordson Corporation has developed an online
tool that quickly calculates the resin cost
savings achievable with installation of a BKG®
BlueFlow™ gear pump, plus the number of
months in which the investment in the pump
is paid back in full. The company will introduce
the tool at Chinaplas 2019 (Booth 2.1F41).
Installed between the extruder and the die, a gear
pump shifts the job of building melt pressure from
the extruder to the gear pump. Besides reducing
stress on the extruder and potentially increasing
throughput, the gear pump significantly reduces the
effect of process variations on melt pressure. This
enables extrusion processors to run with narrower
tolerances without compromising product uniformity.
The new online tool, called the Gear Pump Payback
Analysis, is posted at https://www.nordson.com/
en/divisions/polymer-processing-systems/support/
calculators. The tool calculates resin cost savings and
investment payback time on the basis of resin price,
output rate, pressure variation with and without the
gear pump, and capital investment. These inputs can
be made in either pounds or kilograms and in many
of the world’s currencies.
“Even with a new screw, pressure variation without
the use of a gear pump typically is in the +/- 5% range,
making it necessary for the processor to use more
resin in order to ensure that the finished product
meets specification,” said Christian Schroeder, global
product manager for melt delivery products. “By
reducing pressure variation to as little as +/- 1%,
the BlueFlow gear pump makes possible resin cost
savings that can generate a full return on investment
in a matter of months.”
