High Back Pressure Shows the True Abilities of a Pump

2011-02-25

Modern pumps have many capabilities and still face ever growing standards. Among them ranges the careful transfer of media at high pressures. This requirement not only targets transfer pumps managing large distances but also metering pumps, for example when these lead into spray heads with fine nozzles.

The MX-Pump from KNOLL Maschinenbau takes to high pressures like a duck to water. This progressing cavity pump can easily deliver pressures of up to 80 bars while promoting its media so gently that lumpiness like cooked fruit or pieces of vegetable are not damaged. With its outstanding pressure stability the MX covers a wide range of capacities. For very high flow demand the MX100 delivers up to 200,000 liters or 200 m³ per hour.

Of course, piston pumps fulfill these tasks, too, but at the cost of very high pulsation, high pressure peaks and shear forces that can damage the media. In contrast the MX as progressing cavity pump works with extremely low pulsation which brings an especially smooth transport for the medium and ensures accurate metering without valves.

Due to its special stator geometry in EvenWall® this progressing cavity pump from KNOLL Maschinenbau comes in a much shorter length compared to pumps from competitors, so that it fits very well even under the condition of tight space. In addition considerable energy savings are possible because less pressure levels are required for the realization of high pressure. Wiht each pressure stage of the MX-Pump a pressure of 10 bars is available.

Another advantage of the MX is its excellent service friendliness which applies as well to high pressure versions of this pump as to all others. For very large versions of the MX KNOLL Maschinenbau offers special service tools for dealing with the heavy equipment. Short downtimes are guaranteed, so that these pumps offer high efficiency.

As a final point the modular design of the MX has to be mentioned here, as even under the requirement of high pressures an adaptation to different pump assembly versions is possible. So the MX-Pump can be individually adapted to different application scenarios, even under very different conditions, without any problems. Its compact design (short length) remains, of course.

Overall it is no wonder that this progressing cavity pump increasingly gets known for use cases under highly demanding conditions, as for example high back pressures. Renowned plant engineers have therefore already converted their product portfolio to this pump.
