How It Works
Operation of the CONTINENTAL PUMP can be compared to that of a Screw Conveyor or Meat Grinder. As the ROTOR turns in the STATOR, the cavities between these components are filled with the liquid being handled and the liquid is progressively moved from the Suction Inlet to the Discharge Outlet of the Pump, The action continues as long as the ROTOR turns.

HOW THIS UNIQUE PUMP WORKS
Liquid enters the Suction Inlet either under pressure or by gravity and as the ROTOR (1) turns within the flexible rubber STATOR (2) forming tightly sealed cavities (3) which moves the Liquid toward the Discharge Outlet. Pumping action starts the instant the ROTOR turns. Liquid acts as the lubricant between the pumping elements.

ROTORS are made of Hardened Steel or Stainless Steel and are covered with a Chrome Plating to give resistance to corrosive and abrasive materials. Some liquids affect the Chrome Plating and in those applications a Non-Plated ROTOR should be used.
STATOR are metal tubes with internally molded cavities of Synthetic or Natural Rubber. |
