At AchemAsia, this company launched the new extrex EA, a localized extrusion pump suitable for most extrusion applications, delivering a differential pressure of up to 200 bars. The pumps are assembled in the company’s new facility in Shanghai, and integrate key components, such as gears and bearings made in the company’s European facilities. Other popular pumps exhibited, includes the cinox and therminox self-priming, corrosion-resistant, heatable stainless-steel gear pumps. The company also exhibited models from its sister companies, including the Almatec E-Series plastic air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump, which features a housing of polyethylene (PE) with an abrasion resistance 1.6 times higher than steel. It is also available in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), as well as conductive PE and PTFE for explosion-proof conditions. — Maag Pump Systems, Oberglatt, Switzerland
