    Type M Fuller-Kinyon® Screw Pumps are heavy-duty, screw-type pneumatic pumps most commonly used to convey dry, free-flowing, pulverized materials from grinding mills, transfer materials from silo to silo, transfer dust from collectors, and load and unload railcars, ships and barges. The materials are conveyed anywhere a pipeline can be run and to any number of delivery points. Distances of up to 4500 feet (~1375 meters) are not uncommon.

    These heavy-duty, screw-type pneumatic pump systems are most commonly used to convey dry, free-flowing, pulverized materials from grinding mills, transfer materials from silo to silo, transfer dust from collectors, and load and unload railcars, ships and barges. The materials are conveyed literally anywhere a pipeline can be run and to any number of delivery points. Distances of up to 4,500 feet (~1,375 meters) are not uncommon.

    FK Screw pumps are designed to operate continuously and benefit from a sturdy design with low wear and tear. The housing is made with cast iron/steel that meets ATEX standards for shock-proof construction, ensuring your safety. The wear parts are hard-faced to provide high reliability and can be specially equipped to handle highly abrasive materials. The pump systems are flexible in design to accommodate many different head room requirements.
    The FK Screw Pump is easy to maintain and energy-efficient, making it a very cost-effective means of transporting high volumes of materials.
    Fuller-Kinyon Type M Pumps are constructed of cast iron and steel, and mounted on a cast iron base. Type M pumps are equipped with ball bearings that support a pump screw at both ends to help provide a smooth, balanced operation. The screw is dynamically balanced. Areas of the screw, and other parts of the pump that are in direct contact with the material to be conveyed, are made of hardened, wear-resistant material and special hard surfacing. The screw is directly coupled to the driving motor but can be v-belt driven.
