The DV series is a vertical version of the newest range of progressive cavity pumps from Nova Rotors; the Diamond series. The V series mono pump is designed for situations where viscous and dense fluids containing solids in suspension are required to be pumped from deep tanks, cisterns, barrels or pits. This helical rotor pump is available in a wide range of materials and is also available with fixing brackets for a permanent pit installation. Suitable for a wide range of applications, this progressing cavity pump is commonly used for oily sludge transfer, bilge water transfer, sewage transfer, fuel transfer, alcohol transfer and bio-waste.

FAQs

It consists of a spiralled helical rotor (like a cork screw) that sits tightly inside a rubber stator/sleeve. As the rotor turns inside the stator, it forms a set of fixed-shaped cavities that progress along the length of the stator and force the fluid inside to move along with them as they turn.

Their pressure capabilities and viscosity handling is unrivalled, which means that whilst they are quite expensive in design and large in footprint, they are often selected for applications when all other pumping technologies will fail.

The design is best suited to highly viscous and lubricating fluids including oils, sludges, waste matter, biomass, pastes and grape pressing that may contain very large solids, as well as pumping viscous products over long distances.

Yes! A progressive cavity pump's tight tolerances mean it has excellent suction capabilities.

Yes! However, it should be noted that abrasive fluids e.g. low viscosity/water based fluids containing solids may cause shorter stator wear. Therefore whilst large solids and high solid content can be handled, this is usually reserved for viscous, lubricating fluids.

Our progressing cavity pumps can be supplied with auger feed allowing non-flowing mediums such as dry sludge and waste matter to be pumped without clogging. We can also provide liquid injection ports which are popular when liquid waste is added to dry content waste to allow it to flow.

No! Even short period of dry running can result in damage to the rotor and stator, making dry run protection a must if there is risk of this.
