Progressive cavity pumps VISCOPOWER

• As drum pumps, container pumps and barell pumps with electric commutator motor or compressed air motor for pumping thin-bodied to viscous and highly viscous media up to 100,000 mPas.
• As horizontal pumps in TR version for horizontal use for containers that are not accessible from above.
• In combination with our various drum emptying systems VISCOFLUX for pumping highly viscous media from lidded drums.

The VISCOPOWER progressive cavity pumps have been developed with a special focus on easy, intuitive and fast disassembly and cleaning of the surfaces in contact with the media. Thanks to the sophisticated design, the progressive cavity pump can be disassembled quickly and effortlessly. Seals and transitions are designed in such a way that dead spaces have either been completely eliminated or at least minimised. These features make it particularly suitable for use in the food, cosmetics or pharmaceutical industries.

A wide range of applications
A large selection of pre-configured variants is already available for the most common applications and areas of use. For specific needs, media or special applications, the pump can be customised from various modular components to meet your requirements.

Flexibly positioned for the future
Your requirements, areas of application or media could change in the future? No problem for the VISCOPOWER series! Standardised interfaces and a modular system make it possible to replace components such as screws, stators, motors and seals to make the pump fit for changing pumping requirements. to make the pump fit for changing pumping tasks.

The VISCOPOWER eccentric screw pumps belong to the rotating displacement pumps. This means that the liquid to be pumped is first fed into a pumping chamber and then displaced upwards from there. In concrete terms, this works by means of a rotating shaft in the inner pipe of the eccentric screw pump. This shaft with an eccentric screw at the lower end rotates in an oscillating manner against a stationary stator.

The helical geometry of the eccentric screw and the stator creates delivery spaces in which the corresponding medium is then displaced upwards from the lower pump inlet to the pump outlet. At FLUX, these eccentric worms are made of high-quality stainless steel and the stators of elastic elastomers (NBR white &  FKM) and alternatively of the solid PTFE.

With progressive cavity pumps, the consistency and viscosity of the medium is also irrelevant for the flow rate, as the quantity to be pumped is only determined by the speed of the motor in combination with the pump. With a frequency converter, the flow rate can be controlled easily and precisely.

• NBR white (acrylonitrile butadiene rubber) elastomer, max. 90°C, ideal for oils and fats - also suitable for foodstuffs.
• FKM (fluororubber) elastomer, max. 120°C, very good chemical resistance - unsuitable for food.
• PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) solid, max. 120°C, very good chemical resistance, ideal for food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.

The VISCOPOWER progressive cavity pumps are powerful and at the same time gentle in their delivery, which is why many different liquids can be pumped with them. They are particularly suitable for the following media properties:

• abrasive
• adhesive
• aggressive
• solids-containing and solids-free
• low to high viscosity
• non-lubricating and lubricating
• shear sensitive
• toxic

High demands are often placed on our progressive cavity pumps, also with regard to areas such as food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. For example, our pumps are also used in the production of food, beverages and liquid food or in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors. For such environments, FLUX progressive cavity pumps are offered in special FOOD versions. They comply with all relevant regulations for hygienic pumps, are designed without dead space and can be reliably cleaned.

• Food products (e.g. tomato paste, caramel, peanut butter, mayonnaise, nut nougat cream, chocolate, fats, glycerine, concentrates from fruits and vegetables)
• Pharmaceutical & cosmetic products (e.g. Vaseline, ointments, hair and body care products, lip gloss, mascara, face masks).
