Technical specifications
Function
Screw pumps have three rotating spind-
les, of which the main spindle supplies
the hydraulic power and the auxiliary
spindles, which run free, have only a
rotating function. The two-speed main
and auxiliary spindles create supply
chambers within the enclosed housing,
which move constantly from the suction
to the pressure side. Due to this prin-
ciple the screw pumps can also operate
under high pressures, revolutions and
provide strong suction, they are extre-
mely quiet and almost pulse-free.
Safety valve
All types of medium pressure pumps
can be supplied on request with or wit-
hout a spring-loaded pressure control
valve. The valve is installed to protect
the pump and/or installation against
excess pressure, but cannot be used
solely as a control valve.
