Operating Principles and Benefits
FPEC's single-screw vane pump system delivers exceptional results and improves operational efficiency. A single screw provides steady feeding into the pumping chamber of rotary vane or sliding vane pumps, supporting these positive displacement pumps with steady feeding.
Key benefits of our single-screw vane pump include:
- Gentle product handling: The single-screw pump design reduces damage in delicate applications, such as sheet meat lines
- Sanitary performance: Ensure that your production meets high food safety standards with easy inlet, outlet, and channel cleaning
- Reduced downtime: Reliable build minimizes even short periods of maintenance interruption and operational delays
- Consistent feeding: Consistent product delivery suitable for many applications supports smooth flow between line stages
- Dependable seals: Components and housing are precision-fitted for a better seal during operation to avoid liquid leaks
- Custom sizing: Hopper capacity and dimension options can be adjusted to match your facility requirements and processing needs perfectly
- Straightforward maintenance: Easy access for fluid and oil application, along with easily replaced parts, simplifies maintenance
Our single-screw vane pump system balances speed and product integrity to help producers meet their quality goals without compromising efficiency.
