Methods for Troubleshooting Progressive Screw Pumps

2025-12-05
 

Regarding faults in screw pumps, we at Anhui Shengshi Datang have some effective solutions.

First, ensure that no foreign objects enter the pump body.

If solid debris enters the pump body, it can damage the rubber stator of the progressive screw pump. Therefore, it is crucial to prevent debris from entering the pump chamber. Some systems install a grinder before the pump, while others use a screen or filter to block debris from entering the pump. Screens should be cleaned promptly to prevent clogging.

 

Second, avoid operating the pump without material.

The progressive screw pump absolutely must not run dry. If dry running occurs, the rubber stator can instantly overheat due to dry friction and burn out. Therefore, having a properly functioning grinder and clear screens are essential conditions for the normal operation of the pump. For this reason, some pumps are equipped with a dry-run protection device. When material supply is interrupted, the self-priming capability of the pump creates a vacuum in the chamber, which triggers the vacuum device to stop the pump.

 

Third, maintain a constant outlet pressure.

The progressive screw pump is a positive displacement rotary pump. If the outlet is blocked, the pressure will gradually rise, potentially exceeding the predetermined value. This causes a sharp increase in the motor load, and the load on related transmission components may also exceed design limits. In severe cases, this can lead to motor burnout or broken transmission parts. To prevent pump damage, a bypass relief valve is usually installed at the outlet to stabilize the discharge pressure and ensure normal pump operation.

progressive screw pumps

Fourth, reasonable selection of pump speed.

The flow rate of the progressive screw pump has a linear relationship with its speed. Compared to low-speed pumps, high-speed pumps can increase flow and head, but power consumption increases significantly. High speed accelerates the wear between the rotor and stator, inevitably leading to premature pump failure. Furthermore, the stator and rotor of high-speed pumps are shorter and wear out more easily, thus shortening the pump's service life.

 

Using a gear reducer or variable speed drive to reduce the speed, keeping it within a reasonable range below 300 revolutions per minute, can extend the pump's service life several times compared to high-speed operation.

 

Of course, there are many other maintenance methods for progressive screw pumps, which requires us to be more attentive during daily use. Careful observation will contribute significantly to proper pump maintenance.

 

How should faults in progressive screw pumps be handled? This article will mainly introduce methods for troubleshooting progressive screw pumps.

1. Pump body vibrates violently or produces noise:

A. Causes:​ Pump not installed securely or installed too high; damage to the motor's ball bearings; bent pump shaft or misalignment (non-concentricity or non-parallelism) between the pump shaft and the motor shaft.

B. Solutions:​ Secure the pump properly or lower its installation height; replace the motor's ball bearings; straighten the bent pump shaft or correct the relative position between the pump and the motor.

2. Transmission shaft or motor bearings overheating:

A. Causes:​ Lack of lubricant or bearing failure.

B. Solutions:​ Add lubricant or replace the bearings.

3. Pump fails to deliver water:

Causes:​ Pump body and suction pipe not fully primed with water; dynamic water level below the pump strainer; cracked suction pipe, etc.

 

The sealing surface between the screw and the housing is a spatial curved surface. On this surface, there are non-sealing areas such as ab or de, which form many triangular notches (abc, def) with the screw grooves. These triangular notches form flow channels for the liquid, connecting the groove A of the driving screw to grooves B and C on the driven screw. Grooves B and C, in turn, spiral along their helices to the back side and connect with grooves D and E on the back, respectively. Because the sealing surface where grooves D and E connect with groove F (which belongs to another helix) also has triangular notches similar to a'b'c' on the front side, D, F, and E are also connected. Thus, grooves A-B-C-D-E-A form an "∞"-shaped sealed space (If single-start threads were used, the grooves would simply follow the screw axis and connect the suction and discharge ports, making sealing impossible). It's conceivable that many independent "∞"-shaped sealed spaces are formed along such a screw. The axial length occupied by each sealed space is exactly equal to the lead (t) of the screw. Therefore, to separate the suction and discharge ports, the length of the threaded section of the screw must be at least greater than one lead.

Maintenance for Reciprocating Pumps During Cold Seasons

2025-12-05

Maintenance of reciprocating pumps during cold seasons is crucial, primarily to prevent freezing and ensure normal operation in low-temperature environments, thereby avoiding failures and damage caused by cold weather. Specific measures include:

 

1. Thoroughly inspect whether the insulation measures applied to the pump body and piping are fully adequate. Conduct a comprehensive and meticulous inspection of all aspects, including insulation coverage and sealing integrity. If deficiencies are identified during the inspection, promptly add insulation layers or install heating cables as necessary. Adding insulation layers further enhances thermal insulation, reducing heat loss; installing heating cables actively provides heat to the pump body and piping, effectively preventing the freezing of liquids within the pipes.

 

2. During the period when the equipment is shut down, all residual liquid remaining inside the pump chamber and pipelines must be completely drained. The primary purpose of this is to prevent these residual liquids from freezing in low-temperature environments. Once frozen, liquids expand, and the force generated by this expansion could potentially cause the equipment to rupture.

 

 

3. According to a pre-set fixed cycle, the pump equipment is activated for brief operational runs. During pump operation, the relative motion between its internal mechanical components—that is, mechanical movement—generates a certain amount of heat. This heat produced by mechanical motion is utilized to maintain the pump's internal temperature at a relatively stable and suitable level. The purpose of this is to effectively prevent pump components from becoming stiff due to low temperatures or other factors, ensuring the pump can continue to operate normally.  

 

4. In relevant application scenarios, we can use antifreeze to replace conventional working fluids. Particularly under extreme low-temperature conditions, conventional working fluids may face the risk of solidification. Using antifreeze effectively prevents this from occurring, ensuring the fluid remains liquid and maintaining the normal operation of the entire system.

 

5. For critical components within the equipment—such as seals, valves, and piston rods that play vital roles—meticulous lubrication maintenance is essential. The primary purpose of lubricating these key components is to prevent material hardening under low-temperature conditions and to mitigate wear caused by increased friction between parts due to cold temperatures.

 

6. To ensure stable equipment operation and safe, orderly production, routine inspection efforts must be strengthened. During inspections, focus on the operational status of instruments such as pressure gauges and flow meters, as they provide real-time feedback on critical system parameters and are vital to normal system functioning. Inspection personnel must meticulously observe instrument readings and operational conditions with a professional mindset. Should any anomalies be detected—such as fluctuating display data or abnormal pointer movements—detailed records must be made immediately and prompt corrective action taken to prevent issues from escalating and impacting system performance.

 

Warning: If the equipment freezes, never use open flames to thaw it, as this may damage the pump body and pipes. Applying direct heat causes localized temperature spikes, leading to uneven heating of the pump or pipe materials. This can result in deformation, cracking, or even leaks, posing serious safety hazards. Instead, use gradual heating methods such as pouring warm water over the frozen area or applying uniform heat with a hot air device.

 

By following the above methods, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of reciprocating pumps malfunctioning during cold seasons, ensuring their smooth and safe operation. For any further questions regarding reciprocating pumps, feel free to contact the Elephant Machinery team at any time. We will provide the best service and solutions.
