Progressive Cavity Pump w/speed control

Operating Principle:

The Progressive Cavity Pump operates through a screw-shaped rotor that spins within a rubber stator, creating progressive cavities that move the honey continuously and smoothly from the inlet to the outlet. This motion generates a vacuum at the inlet, allowing the pump to be self-priming and self-loading. This means it can operate effectively without prior priming, regardless of its position relative to the honey reservoir.

Specific Features for Honey:

- Particle Handling: Capable of pumping honey containing cappings, which is essential during honey extraction and filtering operations.

- Quality Preservation: Its pumping system prevents honey emulsion, maintaining its quality and natural properties even when pumped to great heights or across long distances.

Material and Construction:

· Contact Materials: AISI 316L stainless steel, ideal for handling food.
· Stator: NBR, approved by FDA and CE, designed to resist abrasion from particles like cappings.
· Seals and Packings: FPM, providing an effective and safe seal for foods.
· Mobile Structure: Mounted on a stainless steel cart with wheels for easy transport and positioning.
· Control Panel: Includes a control panel to adjust operating speed, allowing for precise adaptation to different flows and viscosities of honey.

Technical Specifications:

· Maximum Flow: 5 m³/h.
· Honey Flow: Approximately 1200 kg/hour, varying according to viscosity.
· Motor Power: 2 HP
· Maximum Working Pressure: Up to 12 bar in double stage configuration.
· Maximum Working Temperature: 85 °C.
· Maximum Speed: 600 rpm.

Advantages over other systems:

· Self-priming and Reversible: Facilitates operation in various configurations without manual intervention for priming.

· Adaptability: Its design allows for easy adjustment of flow and pressure, adapting to the specific needs of each honey transfer operation.

Maintenance:

Maintenance is crucial to preserve the longevity and efficiency of the pump. It is vital to ensure that the pump always operates with honey in its system to prevent overheating and premature wear of the stator.
