Abstract

In the processing industry high viscosity media are transferred by using very expensive worm-drive pumps whose form and characteristics are adapted to the standardized packaging of the media. A significantly cheaper and simpler device with a worm coil has been designed for the purpose of transporting media of various viscosities. Experimental transferring was carried out on a limited number of media samples of various viscosities. The functionality of the device was confirmed. The results of the experiment during the operation of the device with two versions of worm coils (1 and 2) were compared. Guidelines for further research and possible development of an applicable device were proposed.
