  • Universal joint with cooling system
    Patent number: 9435383
    Abstract: A progressing cavity pump system including a rotor and a stator having an inner cavity. The rotor is rotationally disposed inside the inner cavity of the stator such that rotation of the rotor relative to the stator causes material in the inner cavity to be pumped therethrough. The pump system further includes a universal joint directly or indirectly rotationally coupled to the rotor, and a cooling system thermally coupled to the universal joint and configured to cool the universal joint by active heat exchange at a position remote from the universal joint.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 25, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 6, 2016
    Assignee: MOYNO, INC.
    Inventors: Dale H. Parrett, Adam C. Downey, David R. Pitsch, Michael D. Amburgey

  • Method for making a stator
    Patent number: 8215014
    Abstract: A method for making a stator assembly including the steps of providing a generally cylindrical stator casing, hydroforming the stator casing into a generally helical shape, and positioning a stator liner having a generally helical shape inside the stator casing.

  • Progressing cavity pump with split stator
    Patent number: 8182252
    Abstract: A progressing cavity pump system including a rotor and a stator having an inner cavity. The rotor is rotationally disposed inside the inner cavity of the stator such that rotation of the rotor relative to the stator causes material in the inner cavity to be pumped through the stator. The stator includes at least two radially separable stator portions such that when at least one of the stator portions is removed, at least one of the rotor or the inner cavity is exposed.

  • MODULAR SCREEN AND GRINDER ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20110084154
    Abstract: A screen and grinder assembly including a frame, a grinder unit removably coupled to the frame, and a screen unit coupled to the frame. The screen unit is configured to divert solids suspended in a liquid stream to the grinder unit for grinding thereby.

  • PROGRESSING CAVITY PUMP WITH SPLIT STATOR
    Publication number: 20090110578
    Abstract: A progressing cavity pump system including a rotor and a stator having an inner cavity. The rotor is rotationally disposed inside the inner cavity of the stator such that rotation of the rotor relative to the stator causes material in the inner cavity to be pumped through the stator. The stator includes at least two radially separable stator portions such that when at least one of the stator portions is removed, at least one of the rotor or the inner cavity is exposed.
