Three-Spindle screw pumps are used for transport of viscous fluids with lubricating properties. They are suited for a variety of applications such as fuel-injection, oil burners, boosting, hydraulics, fuel, lubrication, circulating, feed and so on. | Three-Spindle screw pumps are used for transport of viscous fluids with lubricating properties.

Compared to [[Centrifugal Pumps]], [[Positive | Compared to [[Centrifugal Pumps]], [[Positive Displacement Pumps]] have several advantages. The pumped fluid is moving axially without turbulence which eliminates foaming that would otherwise occur in viscous fluids. They are also able to pump fluids of higher viscosity without losing flow rate. Also, changes in the pressure difference have little impact on PD pumps compared to centrifugal pumps. |
