How the progressing cavity pump works
For process engineers considering the 'flow' of almost any material, the progressing cavity pump offers significant advantages. Here's how it works.
The SY pumps are being used to transfer Jotamastic 87 Aluminium marine paint, a very thixotropic brand containing up to 90% solids, from the mixing tanks to holding tanks.
All three transfer pumps were manufactured in stainless steel and supplied with Viton reduced wall stators, pressure switches, dry-run STPD for Ex areas and special coupling rods to stop paint settling out.
Commenting on the installation, Paul Horton of Jotun says: "The new pumps, which are transferring paints at flows up to 15m3/h at 55C, have reduced pumping times by 50%, helping us to significantly increase output".
