The document provides information on various Wendelkolben® pumps including their specifications, applications, advantages, and design features. Some key points:
- The pumps use helical twisted rotors that rotate with close clearance to provide pulsation-free, continuous flow of medium.
- They are suitable for high viscosity media and applications in sugar processing, dairy, food production, and other industries.
- Advantages include gentle handling of medium, low noise, reduced power usage, and tolerance of dry running.
- Seals and wetted parts are made from wear-resistant materials like stainless steel.

2. Wendelkolben® Pumps – helical twisted roots pumps – Both of the sectional drawings show the elementary and rugged
were developed by Herold & Co. GmbH, Gefrees, construction of the Wendelkolben® Pump - helical twisted roots pump.
Germany, and are patented
The Wendelkolben® Pumps, developed and patented by Herold & Co. GmbH, produce a pulsation free flow, as both end faces
of each Wendelkolben® -rotor are helical twisted against each other by 90°. They rotate with microscopic clearance and are
synchronized by ground, surface hardened helical timing gears.
The advantages of those helical twisted Wendelkolben® -rotors:
• continuous flow with absolute equal volume
• pulsation free pumping principle
• smooth and gentle treatment of the medium to be pumped
• exceptional low noise level
• tremendous reduction in power consumption
Model number 0.1 with mechanical seals and quench
Schematic of the pumping principle
1. Due to rotation of the helical twisted rotors a vacuum is created, which draws the liquids without interruption into the pumping
chamber.
2. By further rotation the liquids are locked in between the rotors and the rotor housing,
3. transported
4. and discharged without pulsation.
When changing the direction of rotation the flow is reversed.
Dental paste Canned mushrooms
Model number 0.6 with mechanical seals
The pulsation-free flow is achieved through the patented shape of the suction and discharge end of the pumphousing. The
displacement chamber`s sealing line has a configuration resembling two triangles which are oppositely positioned, standing
180° to each other. This positioning is vital in achieving the pulsation-free flow.
