MOYNO
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MOYNO from 3G Electric.
What is the operating principle of a MOYNO progressive cavity pump?
A MOYNO progressive cavity pump uses a single helical rotor that rotates inside a double-helix stator. As the rotor turns, cavities form between the rotor and stator and progress from the suction side to the discharge side, creating a continuous, non-pulsating flow. This design allows the pump to handle viscous fluids, slurries, and shear-sensitive materials. The wobble stator refers to the stator’s elastomeric material that deforms to accommodate the rotor’s eccentric motion.
What materials are used in MOYNO pump construction for the models supplied by 3G Electric?
The MOYNO pumps stocked by 3G Electric feature a cast iron pump body, a Buna-N (nitrile) stator, and a stainless steel rotor. The mechanical seal uses a carbon face. These materials are suitable for water service and many non-aggressive industrial fluids. Buna-N provides good resistance to oils, fuels, and moderate chemicals, while stainless steel offers corrosion resistance. Cast iron provides structural strength and wear resistance.
What is included in a MOYNO pump repair kit from 3G Electric?
MOYNO pump repair kits supplied by 3G Electric typically include a stator, and may also include a flex joint, seal, and other wear components. For example, kit part number 3119033000 includes a stator, flex joint, and seal. The exact contents vary by kit model number. These kits are designed to restore pump performance by replacing the stator, which is the primary wear element in progressive cavity pumps.
How do I select the correct MOYNO pump repair kit for my existing pump?
To select the correct MOYNO repair kit, match the kit’s compatible manufacturer model number to your pump’s model number. For instance, kit 3119123000 is compatible with model 35651, and kit 3119033000 is compatible with model 35601. The kit part number and compatible model numbers are listed in the product specifications. If you have the pump’s serial number or original part number, cross-reference it with the kit’s compatible manufacturer model number.
What is the difference between a motorized MOYNO pump and a bare-shaft MOYNO pump?
A motorized MOYNO pump includes a direct-drive AC motor mounted to the pump, providing a ready-to-run assembly. A bare-shaft MOYNO pump has no motor and requires a separate drive system, such as a motor and coupling or a belt drive. Bare-shaft pumps offer flexibility for custom installations where the motor speed or mounting configuration must be tailored to the application. Both types use the same progressive cavity pumping mechanism.
Can MOYNO pumps handle fluids with solids or abrasives?
Yes, MOYNO progressive cavity pumps are designed to handle fluids containing solids, abrasives, and fibrous materials. The continuous cavity progression minimizes shear and allows particles to pass through without clogging. The Buna-N stator provides some resilience to abrasive wear, but for highly abrasive fluids, alternative stator materials may be recommended. The pumps are rated for water service but are commonly used in sludge, slurry, and wastewater applications.
