BTHE - WITH EDGE-TO-EDGE RIBBON SCREW

BIG ON PUMPING

The BTHE hopper pump is characterized by vertical hopper walls and a large-diameter ribbon screw in the hopper. In contrast to the BTH, the ribbon screw and the rotating unit are controlled by only one drive unit. Thanks to the large screw diameter, even media that tend to bridge can be conveyed without any problems. The stuffing part with conical inlay ensures optimum feeding of the medium. The pump can optionally be equipped with Drive Joint Access.

Conveying Capacity: 0.5–40 m³/h; 2.2–176 US gpm

Pressure: ≤ 36 bar; ≤ 525 psi

Features and Benefits

NO BRIDGING
Thanks to the centrally oriented, edge-to-edge ribbon screw with a large diameter and elongated pitch

IMPROVED FLOWABILITY
Thanks to the very large screw conveyor, even for products with little or no flowability

OPTIMUM PRODUCT CONVEYANCE
Conveyance of the optimal flow rate to the downstream rotating unit by compressing the medium in the compression zone

EASY MAINTENANCE
Simple dismantling of the compression casing for servicing work and optional Drive Joint Access for simple access to the drive-side joint

VARIABLE
Available in block design with directly flanged-on drive system, or as a variant with free bare shaft and plug connection

Technologies, Accessories and Options

Pressure Branch

With gauge connection. Flange connections alternatively to DIN or ANSI.
Rotor

Optimized compression between the rotor and stator using wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials. A wide range of alloys, coatings and elastomers are available for each.
6L geometry

With a small rotor diameter and a long pitch, the 6L geometry attains lower surface velocities and extends the service life due to its large sealing line.
Conventional geometry

With short pitches and a compact design, the conventional geometry produces high pressures.
Stator

The seal on both ends is moulded as an integral part of the elastomeric stator; corrosion of the stator tube is never a problem because the pumped liquid never comes into contact with the metal tube or the bonding adhesive. Available with optional adjustable stator retensioning device.
6L geometry

With a small rotor diameter and a long pitch, the 6L geometry attains lower surface velocities and extends the service life due to its large sealing line.
Conventional geometry

With short pitches and a compact design, the conventional geometry produces high pressures.
Tie bolts/screw

Corrosion proof, optional available in stainless steel design.
Shaft sealing

Packing or mechanical seals are available in many material combinations.
Full screw

Auger feed screw reduces backflow of medium, ensuring optimized filling of the pump cavities.
Universal joint sleeve protection

Made from stainless steel and protects the joint against mechanical damage.
Compression casing

Ensures optimal feeding of the media. Quick and easy maintenance: available as standard as detachable conical inlay or as conical compression casing with Smart Conveying Technology.
Coupling rod

With progressive pitch auger feed screw for power transmission and feeding of viscous products.
Ribbon screw

Concentric feed screw with maximized pitch length which self cleans the hopper walls, prevents bridging of the medium in the feed hopper and enhances feeding of the pumping elements.
Feed hopper with liner

With vertical hopper walls and a generous cross section. The hopper liner stabilizes the ribbon screw and protects it against wear. The hopper length can be individually fabricated.
Flush connection

Connection for cleaning, emptying or diversion.
Lantern

For connection of pump and drive and to secure the assembly to the baseplate or directly to the foundation.
Drive

Geared motors, variable speed drives or frequency controlled motors of all major manufacturers, directly flanged to the pump without additional couplings or guards. Covers made of stainless steel are available.
Overpressure Protection

The pressure gauge switches off the pump as soon as a pre-set pressure is exceeded or not reached and protects the pump from increased wear and tear or piping damage.
Dry-running protection device (TSE)

TSE monitors the temperature of the rotating stator and shuts down the pump when the limit value is reached to protect the pump from dry running.
Retensioning device

With this device, a worn stator can be evenly readjusted at several points so that the clamping between the rotor and stator is once again optimal and the pump performance increases.
Retrofit Kit SCT

With the Retrofit Kit, many standard and open hopper pumps can be upgraded to Smart Conveying Technology (SCT).
Standard Gland Packing

Universal seal for hopper and standard pumps for sealing the plug-in shaft and suction casing or feed hopper. Also available with grease or lantern ring to shut off the media flow. Can also be supplied with upstream labyrinth seal and additional flush connection or lubricating device.
Single-acting mechanical seal

Universal standard mechanical seal for dosing, food applications and semi-submersible pumps for sealing the plug-in shaft in the suction casing or the hopper.
Cartridge mechanical seal

Ready-to-install pre-assembled units with supply connections and attachment brackets for quick replacement.
Universal joint sleeve protection

Stainless steel protective housing protects the universal joint sleeve from mechanical destruction by rough parts made of plastic, metal, wood, etc. Up to 10,000 operating hours guaranteed.
Standard base plate

Short base plate B with geared motor for all standard applications.
Drive Joint Access (DJA)

The optional sliding casing allows access to the drive side's universal joint for quick maintenance.
