Sinusoidal pumps - an overview
The functioning principle of MasoSine pumps is ingeniously simple.
The pump consists of modular components.
The
sinusoidal rotor
creates a
chamber
within the
pump body
four times per revolution, in which the
pumped fluid is displaced. As a filled chamber rotates, it contracts, closes and discharges its contents. At
the same time, the opposite chamber opens by the same fraction of a millimetre to draw in more fluid.
The result is a pump free of pulsation.
The
gate
works as a seal between the pressure side and the suction side of the pump. It prevents an
equalisation of the pressure created by the rotor, stopping it escaping to the suction side.
