screw pump animation​

A screw pump animation is a visual representation of how a screw pump (or progressive cavity pump) operates. These pumps are positive displacement pumps that move fluid through the action of a rotating screw (or rotor) inside a stator.

How a Screw Pump Works (Animated Explanation):

  1. Rotor and Stator Design:

    • The pump consists of a helical rotor (screw) that rotates inside a double-threaded stator (elastic casing).

    • The stator has a cavity that is twice the pitch of the rotor, creating sealed chambers as the rotor turns.

  2. Fluid Intake:

    • As the rotor turns, cavities form at the suction side, drawing fluid into the pump.

  3. Progressive Cavity Movement:

    • The rotation pushes the trapped fluid along the stator in a continuous, non-pulsating flow.

    • The sealed cavities progress from the suction end to the discharge end.

  4. Discharge:

    • The fluid exits the pump at a steady rate, maintaining consistent pressure.

Applications of Screw Pumps:

✔ Oil & Gas – Handling viscous fluids
✔ Wastewater Treatment – Sludge pumping
✔ Food Industry – Moving thick pastes (e.g., chocolate, syrup)
✔ Chemical Processing – Transferring abrasive fluids
