Screw pumps: easy pneumatic conveying of free-flowing bulk material
Pneumatic screw conveying of dry, free-flowing, pulverized materials
Manufacturing industries depend on reliable conveying systems. Pneumatic conveying is at the heart of these facilities, with its ability to transport materials quickly and easily by using compressed air. Screw pumps are an especially reliable and efficient type of pneumatic conveying because they are built to last with lower overall power consumption. Type M Fuller-Kinyon® Screw Pumps are heavy-duty, screw-type pneumatic pumps most commonly used to convey dry, free-flowing, pulverized materials from grinding mills, transfer materials from silo to silo, transfer dust from collectors, and load and unload railcars, ships and barges. The materials are conveyed anywhere a pipeline can be run and to any number of delivery points. Distances of up to 4500 feet (~1375 meters) are not uncommon.
Heavy-duty screw pumps for demanding applications
Distances of up to 4,500 feet
Low wear and tear
Cost-effective
Designed for dense phase, dilute phase and mixed phase conveying
Fuller-Kinyon Type M Pumps are constructed of cast iron and steel, and mounted on a cast iron base. Type M pumps are equipped with ball bearings that support a pump screw at both ends to help provide a smooth, balanced operation. The screw is dynamically balanced. Areas of the screw, and other parts of the pump that are in direct contact with the material to be conveyed, are made of hardened, wear-resistant material and special hard surfacing. The screw is directly coupled to the driving motor but can be v-belt driven.
