Home » About Screw Pump » 100 gpm progressive cavity pump

Working Principle

The core working principle of the screw pump is to use the rotational motion of the screw to transport fluid. Its structure usually consists of one or more screws and a fixed pump housing. As the screw rotates, the fluid is gradually pushed between the screw and the pump housing, thereby achieving continuous fluid transportation.

Main Components

Screw: responsible for pushing the fluid, usually made of wear-resistant materials to extend service life.

Pump housing: provides a channel for fluid flow, usually made of high-strength materials.

Drive: provides power for the screw, common ones are electric motors and diesel engines.

Advantages of progressive cavity pumps

Using progressive cavity pumps has many advantages:

Efficient delivery: It can transport various fluids, especially high-viscosity fluids, at a stable flow rate.

Good self-priming ability: It can achieve self-priming under certain conditions, reducing the need for other auxiliary equipment.

Strong adaptability: It does not require high properties of the fluid and can handle complex fluids containing particles, bubbles, etc.

Simple maintenance: The pump has a simple structure, and maintenance and maintenance are relatively easy, reducing operating costs.

Precautions for selecting progressive cavity pumps

When selecting a progressive cavity pump, the following factors need to be considered:

Fluid properties: Understand the viscosity, temperature and particle content of the fluid being transported to select a suitable pump type.

Working conditions: Consider the installation environment of the pump, including temperature, pressure and space restrictions.

Material selection: According to the corrosiveness and temperature requirements of the fluid, select suitable materials to extend the service life of the pump.

Service support: Choose a supplier with good after-sales service and technical support to ensure the normal operation of the pump.

These pumps fail when run dry. Progressive cavity pumps are slower moving and don’t produce large amounts of flow. This can be addressed with VFD (variable frequency drives) and/or gear reducers that increase installation costs.

A progressive cavity pump will not change the oil droplets where a centrifugal pump will emulsify the oil and make the oil droplets very small and reduce the separation performance of the separator.

The progressive cavity pump is a special positive displacement pump used for precise metering of liquids or viscous materials. It consists of a helical rotor (the eccentric shaft) that rotates in an eccentric position within an elastic stator.
