Helical spindle pump with a single-entry design

Abstract

The invention relates to a dual-spindle helical spindle pump with a single-entry design, comprising a pump housing (11) which has a pump portion (12), a bearing portion (13) and a gear portion (14) with a gear chamber, wherein the bearing portion (13) and the pump portion (12) are designed separately from one another, comprising a feed housing part (50) as a component of the pump portion (12) in which two feed screws (17, 18) are provided, said feed screws having flanks (46) and being arranged on shafts (15, 16) in a feed space (51), wherein the shafts (15, 16) are mounted in the bearing portion (13) (external bearing system) and extend into the gear portion (14), and wherein the feed housing part (50) has at least one feed portion (52) with an inner wall (58) which faces the outer face (59) of the feed screws (17, 18). The invention provides that at least one separating element (60), which is in contact with at least one portion of the outer face (59) of the feed screws (17, 18), is between the inner wall (58) of the feed portion (52) and the outer face (59) of the feed screws (17, 18), at least in the region (57) of the feed screws (17, 18), and in that the separating element (60) is floatingly mounted in the feed housing part (50) relative to the inner wall (58) of the feed portion (52).
