How to Calculate the Rotational Speed of a Melt Gear Pump
The rotational speed of a melt gear pump can be calculated using the following formula:
RPM = n × f1 / (50 × i)
Where:
RPM represents the rotational speed of the melt pump in revolutions per minute.
n is the rated speed of the motor, which can usually be obtained from the motor's nameplate or technical manual. For example, the rated speed of a 4-pole motor is typically 1450rpm.
f1 is the frequency of the frequency converter, representing the operating frequency of the motor, usually measured in Hz. The frequency converter frequency can be adjusted according to actual needs to change the motor's speed.
i is the speed ratio of the reducer, which indicates the ratio between the input speed and output speed of the reducer. The choice of the reducer speed ratio depends on the required pump speed and the motor's rated speed.
For instance, assuming the motor's rated speed n is 1450rpm, the frequency converter frequency f1 is 30Hz, and the reducer speed ratio i is 29, the rotational speed RPM of the melt gear pump can be calculated as follows:
RPM = 1450 × 30 / (50 × 29) = 30rpm
It should be noted that the rotational speed of a melt gear pump is influenced by various factors, such as the viscosity of the material, the pump's structural design, operating temperature, and pressure. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to determine the appropriate speed range based on specific process requirements and material characteristics. Additionally, regular maintenance and inspections of the melt gear pump are required to ensure its performance stability and reliability.
