Screw Pumps

When thick or abrasive fluids disrupt your flow requirements, screw pumps must deliver stable output under demanding conditions. Our Screw Pumps handle viscosities up to 1,000,000 cP and solid content up to 70% by volume, ensuring uninterrupted movement of challenging media.

Flow Rate Range

0.1 m³/h to 600 m³/h (0.44 GPM to 2,640 GPM) – Adjustable via speed

Pressure/Head Capacity

Up to 48 bar (700 psi) – Multi-stage designs available

Power Requirements

0.37 kW to 250 kW (0.5 HP to 335 HP), 3-phase motors, 50/60 Hz, VFD compatible

Materials of Construction

Stator: Natural Rubber, NBR, EPDM, FKM, PTFE Rotor: Hardened Steel, Stainless Steel (304/316)

Fluid Compatibility

Slurries, Abrasives, Viscous Fluids, Shear-Sensitive Media (e.g., sludge, chocolate, asphalt)

Product Description

Flow inconsistencies from shear-sensitive fluids often damage equipment or slow operations. We build these pumps with elastomer stators and hardened steel or stainless rotors, matching various process needs with long-term durability.

Temperature Range

-20°C to 180°C (-4°F to 356°F) – Higher temps with specialty elastomers

Connection Types & Sizes

Flanged (ANSI/DIN), Threaded (BSP/NPT), Tri-Clamp (Sanitary) – Sizes: 25 mm to 300 mm (1″ to 12″)

Mounting Configuration

Horizontal or Vertical – Close-coupled or belt-driven, skid-mounted options

Seal System

Mechanical Seal, Packing Gland, or Lip Seal – Sealless magnetic drive available

Efficiency Rating

60% to 80% (depends on viscosity and solids content)

Viscosity Range

1 cP to 1,000,000 cP – Handles thick fluids like grease or molasses

Speed Range

100 RPM to 900 RPM (lower speeds for high-viscosity fluids)

Solids Handling Capability

Can handle solids up to 70% by volume (e.g., sand, fibers, waste)

Certifications & Standards

API 676, ISO 9001, ATEX, FDA – Compliant for food, oil & gas, and wastewater

Operating Noise Level

< 70 dB(A) (low vibration and quiet operation)

Coupling System

Direct Drive (Elastomeric Coupling) or Belt Drive – Alignment-critical

Technical Advantages

Shear-heavy fluids often break down under standard pumping. Our Screw Pumps reduce internal turbulence with low RPM operation, protecting fluid integrity during transfer. 
 
They support wide speed ranges from 100 to 900 RPM and allow VFD control for flexible flow adjustment. You can handle hot, cold, or chemically reactive media with full elastomer and rotor material compatibility.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

Can the screw pump run dry during short transfer delays?

Yes, our screw pumps can handle short dry-run durations without damage if equipped with elastomers like FKM or PTFE. However, continuous dry running is not recommended. We also offer dry-run protection systems on request.

What type of speed control options are available for flow adjustments?

We support VFD-compatible motors that allow speed-based control over flow rate from 100 RPM to 900 RPM. This helps maintain consistent output even with viscosity changes. VFD panels can be provided with factory wiring. 

Are these pumps easy to clean for product changeovers?

Yes, we offer clean-in-place (CIP) and flush port configurations for easy internal rinsing. For food and pharma use, sanitary-grade Tri-Clamp connections allow fast dismantling. This simplifies compliance with batch-based operations.

How does Frigate handle application-specific rotor and stator combinations

We select rotor hardness and stator elastomer based on your process fluid. You’ll receive a compatibility and our engineering team finalizes the pairing before production. This ensures stable performance with abrasive or reactive media. 

How does Frigate handle sudden viscosity changes during continuous operation?

Our screw pumps maintain flow stability even when fluid viscosity increases mid-process. The speed range from 100 to 900 RPM helps adjust torque without stalling. We also recommend stator upgrades for high-viscosity duty cycles.
