Leistritz is the first address when it comes to the application of screw pumps. After all, the company, with
its headquarters in Nuremberg, is one of the pioneers
in the field of screw pumps: 90 years ago, it was Paul
Leistritz, who used the twin screw pump for the first
time to pump lube oil for steam turbine bearings.
What started out small in 1924 is now a globally active
company with more than 300 employees, which has
the widest product range in the field of screw pumps.
Leistritz Pump Technology has branches in all important markets, such as the USA, China, Singapore, Dubai,
India and Italy. Leistritz customers benefit from valuable
know-how in various industries and applications.

Leistritz is the only producer in the world to offer the

complete range of screw pumps.

AT HOME IN MANY INDUSTRIES

Customized solutions

Screw pumps by Leistritz can be found in numerous branches of industry. We offer

our customers tailor-made solutions for the respective market requirements ranging from the individual pump to the complete system.
ENERGY/POWER SYSTEMS
Leistritz screw pumps are used in power plants.
Our twin and triple screw pump series are e.g.
used for large diesel engines as main lube oil
pumps or diesel supply pumps, as well as lube
oil pumps for gear boxes, turbines and compressors.

OIL & GAS

Due to the large product range of single volute
(L2, L3, L5) and double volute (L4) screw pump
series, we are able to supply customized screw
pumps and systems for virtually any application
in the oil & gas industry: whether it is for pumping in crude oil production (upstream), crude
oil transport (midstream) or for refinery processes (downstream).

LUBE OIL SYSTEMS

SHIPBUILDING

The protection and lubrication of bearings,

drive units and gear wheels is crucial for the
smooth-running and long-term operation of
systems and machines. We offer twin and triple
screw pumps with submerged, direct driven or
horizontal design to fulfill all customer needs
in terms of space requirements and operating
data.

Pump units and systems in use for ships must

be energy-efficient and economical, but always
also take account of climate protection and
environmental considerations. Leistritz has been
meeting these requirements very successfully
for decades. Our screw pumps are well-known
in the market for their robustness, quality and
long service life. We are specialists when it comes to customized solutions for all shipbuilding
applications.

CHEMICALS/PETROCHEMICALS

AUTOMOTIVE

Screw pumps in petrochemical and chemical process technology function as positive

displacement pumps for the entire range of
viscosity. Therefore, they are particularly suitable
for this industry. Especially in chemical applications, the gentle handling of the pumping
fluids with low shear forces on the product, as
well as the optional use of a magnetic coupling
as sealing, are the outstanding features for this
type of pump.

In its smallest version, the screw pump is used

as a fuel pump for cars and as a volumetric
meter at gas stations. Being a supplier for the
automotive sector, Leistritz is constantly working on the further development of its products
and thereby fulfills the high quality standards
required in this efficiency-oriented and fastmoving industry at all times.

PUMP S FOR OI L PRODUCTION

Multiphase systems are used successfully worldwide for onshore and
offshore applications. These systems are based on the technology of
the double volute twin screw pump. Flow rates of up to 5,000 m/h and
differential pressures of up to 150 bar are possible. They can operate
with variable suction pressure and high gas concentrations (GVF) of up
to 100 %. Operators of oil platforms are convinced by the cost-efficient
technology: Instead of separating oil, water and gas at the oil well and
exporting the oil and gas through separate pipelines to the central
production plants, the multiphase mixture is transported through a single pipeline. Due to the direct pumping of the multiphase fluid to the
central processing plant, separators, crude oil treatment plants, pumps,
compressors and storage tanks become unnecessary at the individual
wells of the oil fields.

PUMPS IN TANK FARMS

Numerous oil-based products are transported from tank farms to
ships, trains and trucks. Mainly L4 pumps are used for this purpose. In one of the most important tank farms in the world in
Singapore, 32 of the Leistritz screw pumps have been operating
for years. They load ships that transport semi-finished and finished products that are already pre-refined (so-called black and
white products). The double volute twin screw pump conveys
fluids at up to 5,000 m/h with viscosities of up to 150,000 cSt.
They particularly stand out by operating with low-pulsation and
low-vibration.

PUMPS FOR LUBE OIL SUPPLY

On the one hand, the lube oil supply of a diesel engine requires
pumps with a high flow rate (up to 700 m/h). On the other hand,
they should require as little space as possible, be robust and have
a long service life. The L3 pump by Leistritz fulfills all of these
requirements being a self-priming displacement pump for the
low-pressure range of up to 16 bar. It is designed to be mounted
directly to the diesel engine. The pipework and flange connections
are tailor-made and designed precisely for this.

PUMPS FOR SHIPBUILDING

On tankers that transport crude oil, fuel, asphalt or bitumen,
pumps must be able to fulfill various pumping tasks: From unloading processes, circulating and mixing tasks, to draining and
residual operation. For such applications, Leistritz offers the L2 or
L5 pumps with only one shaft seal to the atmosphere. Specifically
for unloading tankers with larger tank depths (> 7-8 m), Leistritz
designed the submerged cargo pump, which is in operation in
various versions on many ships. It is installed in a separate pipe
on board in the aft of the tanks. The cargo pump has an outstanding design: With the inlet level of the installation pipe being
situated above the actual pump inlet, it is ensured that the pump
is sufficiently immersed in the product, even at low filling levels of
the tank.

PUMPS IN THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

Operators of chemical plants have already been relying on L2
pumps since the 1960s. These are designed as a modular system
and can be adapted to operating conditions by combining individual components. For a polyether product in a West German
chemical plant, a L2 pump was designed and implemented with
extremely sophisticated materials. A special ceramic coating was
used for spindles and bearings, which guaranteed a problem-free
flushing operation. The outstanding design ensures a accordingly
longer service life. Without changing the construction, they can
also be operated in a reversed flow direction for emptying the
pressure lines.
