Some basic knowledge about rotary pumps

2021-04-15


Rotary pump is a very popular equipment. The reason why rotary pumps are popular is because they have many advantages. If rotary pumps have fewer advantages, they will definitely not be so popular. So, what are the advantages of rotary pumps? What are its application areas?

At present, centrifugal pumps, screw pumps, and gear pumps are widely used in domestic process pumps. However, with the continuous improvement of production technology and process, the requirements for product quality are becoming higher and higher. Many centrifugal pumps, screw pumps, and gear pumps used in production processes can no longer meet the modern requirements for product performance and quality. The new principle of conveying pumps is an inevitable result of replacing old pumps. Centrifugal pumps have low conveying efficiency, high energy consumption, and high operating costs (with an efficiency of only 40%). When the conveying viscosity and discharge pressure are high, the efficiency is low and even cannot operate. Heavy oil pumps, screw pumps, and gear pumps have high efficiency in material transportation, but they also have some drawbacks, such as poor wear resistance, unreliable operation, heavy maintenance workload, and difficult cleaning. Moreover, during the transportation of corrosive media or media with hygiene requirements, the transportation needs cannot be met. However, rotor pumps do not have these disadvantages at all. In actual operation, rotor pumps have almost no vulnerable parts, are basically maintenance free, and the cleaning process is simple and without dead corners. All parts in contact with materials can be made of stainless steel materials that meet the material characteristics. The characteristics of hygiene, corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, less maintenance, and high pressure all demonstrate its strong applicability. Due to the unique working principle of rotor pumps, they have obvious advantages in conveying high viscosity and volatile materials.

The rotary pump has good conveying characteristics and will not damage the physical properties of some sensitive substances. Therefore, for people, conveying difficult to flow media such as paste or sensitive substances such as yeast and yogurt is a better choice.

Rotary pumps can be used to transport high viscosity media such as water or rubber based fluids, corrosive chemical raw materials, food and medical products with strict hygiene requirements. They are truly universal pumps. When installing a new pump, please install a filter before the pump inlet, with a mesh size of 60-120. The effective area of the filter should be greater than twice the pump diameter to avoid fluid blockage.
