Product Description

DESCRIPTION It is the most versatile and speedy method of transferring bulk material from one point to another within a defined area. APPLICATIONS The FIBOMACH Screw Pumps are heavy-duty, screw-type pneumatic pumps. These pump systems are 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 literally anywhere a pipeline can be run and to any number of delivery points. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FIBOMACH Screw Pumps are constructed of mild and structural steel, and mounted on a base. FS pumps are equipped with pedestal blocks that support a pump screw which helps to provide a smooth, balanced operation. The screw is dynamically balanced and areas of this screw, along with other parts of the pump in direct contact with the material to be conveyed, are made of hardened, wear-resistant material and special hard surfacing where required. The screw is directly coupled to the driving motor but can be v-belt driven. Standard equipment on FS pumps includes a pressurized seal and bearing assembly that extends the service life of the discharge seals by preventing the material being handled from entering the bearing area. Each pump system includes the pump, drive motor and compressed air source. OPERATION The materials to be conveyed enter the hopper by gravity or dumped by any means. The material is compacted as it is advanced. Its density is further increased in the space between the terminal flight of the screw and the face of the non-return valve to form a seal against the transport line pressure, thus preventing blowback. The material then enters the discharge body, is fluidized by compressed air, and is conveyed into the transport line.
