THREE-SCREW PUMPS

Three-Screw Pumps

Three-screw pumps are rotary‚ self-priming positive displacement pumps. The pumping elements consist of three moving parts: the power rotor (main screw) and two symmetrically opposed idler rotors‚ all operating within close fitting housing bores. The incoming process fluid is conveyed by the rotating power rotor by means of the cavity formed with the intermeshing idler rotors.
Symmetrical pressure-loading on the power rotor eliminates the need for radial bearings to absorb radial forces. The idler rotors generate a hydrodynamic film which provides radial support similar to journal bearings. Axial loads on the power rotor and idler rotors‚ created by differential pressure‚ are hydrostatically balanced. The real, differentiating strength of this pump technology is that high pressure boost capabilities even when handling low viscosity fluids
