Applied Pumps Supplies Settima Screw Pump For Fuel Oil Duty

Each set consists of a cast iron three-spindle screw pump supplied with a 4kW close coupled IP55 IE2 3ph electric motor.

These smooth running screw pumps each deliver some 100 litre/min of low viscosity fuel oil at up to 7 bar delivery pressure. The pumps have cast iron internal casings with hardened screws and Viton shaft seals all selected to cope with low viscosity fuel oils. For this application the SAE 3000lb pump inlet and outlet facings are fitted with socket welded connections but are also available with BSP female adapters or full face metric or ANSI pipe flanges as required.

Low equipment noise is important and many sites are under increasing pressure to reduce their back ground noise. These screw pumps are inherently quiet and are typically only between 55 and 65 dB(A).

The design of triple screw pumps differs from other rotary pumps in that they are capable of much higher pressures and flow rates even with thin fluids. They are also typically much cheaper!

Settima offer pumps that conform to API 676 and ATEX Ex with additional Marine certification available from all of the main Inspectorates including BV, Lloyds, DNV.

They are the perfect pump choice for HFO, Diesel, Bunker oils, Low Sulphur Fuels and Distillate Fuels.

A more recent application is for the pumping of fuel emulsions for which the screw pump is also very successful. Additionally the Settima screw pump range are routinely used for lubrication oil, hydraulic oils including HFC and also machine tool cutting oils
