Products / Kral / Screw Pumps / Screw Pump Series W
The pump for special requirements.
KRALs W series pump is mainly used wherever a dirty or abrasive
media is required. The cartridge case is coated with a resilient
polymer. The plastic can absorb particles due.
Water soluble machine tool coolant can be a very difficult pumping
service to handle. The fluids have a very low viscosity of only
about 1 mm²/s, must by delivered at high pressure and contain
abrasives, mostly metal residues.
It is due to the innovative design, and especially the casing
coating, that the advantages of the KRAL three screw pump can be
successfully applied to machine tool coolants. KRAL coats the
running casing with a resistant polymer. This synthetic material can
absorb particles. According to specifics of the application other
materials can also be used.
Water soluble machine tool coolants are pumped at high pressures of
up to 120 bar. Only at such high pressure is sufficient cooling and
flushing of the chips accomplished. The balancing cylinder of the
three screw pump has orifice insertions to reduce the leakage rate,
therefore efficiency remains high.
The screw material and the casing coating have been designed for
improved sliding properties in such a way that low viscosity fluids
is pumped with no problem. The KRAL machine tool coolant three screw
pump can be supplied for dry or wet installation. A mounting flange
has already been provided for vertical wet installation.
Special requirements.
Compared with other three screw pump principles, three screw pumps
have a number of oustanding qualities. The three screw pump delivers
continuously with alow pulsation rate and low noise level. They
achieve high flow rates even in small sizes. Cooling lubricants are
difficult liquids with viscosities as low as mm²/s. The fluid must
be delivered at high pressure, and contains abrasives, mostly metal
residues.
Thanks to the innovative design, particularly in regards to the case
materials, the KRAL three screw pump offers many advantages when
pumping water soluble coolant emulsions.
Contamination? No problem!
Metal residues in cooling lubricants can cause abrasive damage to
the three screw pumps internal surfaces. When precautions are not
taken, the case, the spindles and the ball bearing are affected.
KRAL coats the case with a resistant polymer, this synthetic
material can absorb particles within limits. Depending on the liquid
used, other materials can also be provided. Additionally, the three
screw pump is provided with a permanently lubricated outside bearing
which has no contact with the medium.
Installation options.
The KRAL cooling lubricant three screw pump can be designed for dry
or wet-well installation. For a vertical wet-well installation a
mounting plate is provided.
