Precision gear metering specialist Slack & Parr will spotlight its latest innovations in large-capacity gear pumps for the heavy denier, industrial, and nonwoven markets at ITMA Asia + CITME 2025, taking place October 28–31 in Singapore. The company will exhibit in Hall 4, Stand D305.
A long-standing supplier to the global manmade fibre industry, Slack & Parr delivers high-accuracy gear metering pumps used in processing polymers such as acrylic, polyester, nylon, spandex, and aramid. Its technologies ensure uniformity and consistency in producing high-quality yarns and textiles across multiple sectors.
Updated Range for High-Viscosity Polymers
The company has recently launched an enhanced series of industrial yarn (IDY) pumps engineered to handle high-viscosity polymers under extreme pressures and temperatures. The updated pumps are designed for reliability, precision, and adaptability, making them suitable for both new installations and retrofits worldwide.
This development follows a collaboration with a leading Japanese plant equipment manufacturer, which included an extensive trial phase. The review focused on pump strengths, material selection, and performance under demanding industrial conditions. Following successful validation, Slack & Parr’s pumps have been approved for integration into global equipment platforms.
