Spacer Coupled Screw Pumps Fuel & Oil Transfer
For over 10 years, Castle Pumps have been supplying pumping solution to the industrial and marine market, meaning we have extensive product knowledge and experience and can help you select the right pump for your application. Our range of spacer coupled screw pumps are ideal for the transfer of heavy fuel oils, diesel and lubricants under a range of performance requirements, thanks to their ability to handle fluctuating flow rate and pressure without losing efficiency. Thanks to their design our spacer coupled screw pumps are easy to maintain without having to remove the motor first and an additional ball bearing in the pump head to share the strain of operation, making it ideal for more heavy-duty, continuous use applications.

FAQs
Triple screw pumps consist of a driving screw and two idler screws. The motor shaft rotates the driving screw which in turns rotates the intermeshing twin idler screws that the fluid passes along.
Screw pumps are ideal for handling fuels, oils and lubricants, thanks to their ability to maintain efficiency regardless of fluctuations in viscosity. As lubricating fluids' viscosities are susceptible to change as their temperature changes, the performance of a screw pump is able to remain consistent.
When it comes to fuel and oils, gear pumps are a more known technology, when infact screw pumps have a lot of benefits. They have a smaller footprint in comparison, provide a less turbulent smoother flow, less noise and vibrations and better mechanical efficiency.

Unlike other positive displacement pumps, screw pumps cannot handle solids so waste oils are usually avoided unless used with a strainer/filter.
Yes upon request. Being able to operate in both directions makes these screw pumps ideal for tank to tank transfer as well as returning excess liquid out of the pipework when transfer is complete.
Yes! All Azcue triple screw pumps are marine type approved by classification societies including Lloyds, Bureau Veritas and ABS. They are also suitable for low sulphur fuel down to 0.1% in line with the 2020 Global Sulphur Cap.
Our Azcue screw pumps are available with optional magnetic coupling. The absence of a mechanical seal to couple the pump and motor eliminates the chance of leaks caused by wear, which is often desirable when the fuel being pumped is flammable.
Yes, screw pumps have excellent suction capabilities without need for a manual priming device.
