  • Patent number: 9097257
    Abstract: Screw type liquid ring pump (1) with an integrated grinder or macerator (2), including a pump housing (3) with an inlet (5) and an outlet (7) and an, inside the housing, rotating helical screw rotor (4), which rotor at one end, the inlet end of the pump housing is provided with the grinder (11) and at the other end, the outlet end of the pump housing is communicating with a pressure chamber (6). The screw rotor is provided on a shaft (18) connected (not shown) to a driving unit in the form of a motor, preferably an electric motor. The grinder includes a rotary cutter (12) attached to the inlet end of the helical screw (4) shaft and a stationary cutter (13) attached to a grinder housing part (15), each cutter being provided with cutting tools or knives, whereby the rotary cutter (12) is freely rotating within the stationary cutter (13) when the pump is running.

  • Patent number: 7946828
    Abstract: Screw type liquid ring pump including a pump housing (9) with an inlet part (3) and an outlet part (11) and rotating helical screw rotor (8) inside the housing. The rotor is connected with a shaft (7) as well as a driving unit in the form of motor, preferably an electric motor (2), whereby the pump (20) with the pump housing (9) represents an elongation of the motor (2) with the motor housing thus representing an integrated or one piece unit. The shaft seal (22, 23) is provided wholly or partially in an annular space (24) provided within the rotor (8), whereby one end of the seal rests against an annular part (25) of the screw rotor provided in the annular space (24) between the rotor and the shaft, and its other end is tightly engaged against an inwardly protruding part (21) at the outlet end of the pump.
