Screw Pumps Buying Guide

When selecting a screw pump, it's crucial to assess the viscosity of the fluid you plan to manage, as screw pumps are particularly well-suited for high-viscosity applications.

Consider the required pressure and flow rate specifications to ensure the pump meets your operational demands.

  • Look for screw pumps with suitable materials to handle any chemical or abrasive properties of your fluids.
  • Verify the operating pressure range and ensure it aligns with installation needs, typically up to 300 PSI.
  • Ensure that the pumping system can sustain the necessary flow rate, which can exceed 1500 GPM for specific models.
  • Check for maintenance requirements based on the pump’s design and the materials used in its construction.
