GH Single Screw Pump with Bridge Breaker Agitator – Technical Overview The GH Single Screw Pump with Bridge Breaker Agitator is a highly efficient and versatile pumping solution designed for handling viscous, non-Newtonian, or shear-sensitive fluids, as well as materials prone to bridging or clogging. This pump combines the reliable performance of a single screw (progressive cavity) pump with an integrated agitator to ensure smooth material flow, making it ideal for industries such as wastewater treatment, food processing, chemical manufacturing, and sludge handling. Key Features and Design 1. Single Screw (Progressive Cavity) Pump Mechanism The pump operates on the principle of a helical rotor rotating within a stator, creating a series of sealed cavities that move fluid continuously from the inlet to the outlet. This design ensures gentle, pulsation-free flow with minimal shear, making it suitable for delicate or abrasive media. 2. Integrated Bridge Breaker Agitator The agitator is mounted at the pump inlet and features specially designed blades or paddles that rotate to break up bridged or compacted materials. This prevents clogging and ensures consistent feeding into the pump, particularly for thick slurries, pastes, or fibrous substances. 3. High Viscosity and Solid Handling Capability The pump excels in transferring fluids with high viscosity (up to 1,000,000 cP) and can handle solids or suspended particles without damage. The agitator enhances this capability by maintaining material homogeneity before pumping. 4. Robust Construction and Materials The pump is constructed from durable materials such as stainless steel, hardened alloys, or elastomer-coated stators, depending on the application. This ensures resistance to wear, corrosion, and chemical attack. 5. Energy Efficiency and Low Maintenance The progressive cavity design minimizes energy consumption while delivering precise flow rates. The agitator reduces downtime caused by blockages, lowering maintenance requirements. Applications - Wastewater/Sludge Handling: Efficiently pumps thickened sludge, dewatered cakes, and other viscous waste materials. - Food & Beverage: Processes syrups, dough, fruit pulps, and other shear-sensitive products. - Chemical Processing: Transfers adhesives, polymers, and abrasive slurries without degradation. - Mining & Minerals: Handles tailings, slurries, and high-solids-content mixtures. Advantages Over Conventional Pumps - Prevents Bridging: The agitator ensures uninterrupted material flow, unlike standard screw pumps. - Gentle Handling: Maintains product integrity for sensitive fluids. - Versatility: Adaptable to varying viscosities and solid contents. In summary, the GH Single Screw Pump with Bridge Breaker Agitator is a reliable, high-performance solution for challenging pumping applications, combining smooth material handling with clog-resistant operation. Its innovative design addresses common flow issues while ensuring efficiency and durability.
