Spiral Pump

The spiral pump is an efficient, low-maintenance solution for moving water—especially in remote or off-grid applications. Originally developed in the 18th century, this simple yet effective pump design is regaining popularity due to its sustainability, durability, and suitability for low-energy, gravity-fed water transfer systems.

At MultiTorque, we specialise in pump solutions that work hard in Australia’s toughest environments. While spiral pumps are less common in high-pressure industrial systems, they remain a valuable choice for agricultural irrigation, water supply in remote regions, and small-scale hydro applications.


What is a Spiral Pump?

A spiral pump, sometimes called a coil pump, is a low-head, positive displacement pump that uses the rotation of a coiled pipe submerged in water to lift fluid through centrifugal action. Unlike more complex systems, spiral pumps require no external power source other than rotation—making them ideal for applications using natural flow, treadle, or wind power.

The pump operates without pistons, valves, or seals—minimising maintenance and extending operational life. Although limited in pressure and flow rate, its simplicity makes it invaluable in remote, off-grid, or environmentally sensitive areas.


How a Spiral Pump Works

The spiral pump consists of a coil of tubing wound into a spiral, attached to a rotating wheel. Here’s how it functions:

  1. The spiral coil is submerged in a water source (such as a river or stream).
  2. As the coil spins—powered by a rotating paddle wheel, motor, or manual crank—water enters the spiral via open ends in the tubing.
  3. Centrifugal force traps pockets of water in the spiral coils.
  4. The coiled water is forced upward through the spiral and discharged at a higher elevation.

Despite its low-tech appearance, the spiral pump is an effective water-lifting solution in many rural or small-scale systems.


Applications of Spiral Pumps

While not as common in high-pressure industrial environments, spiral pumps serve key roles in:

🌾 1. Agricultural Irrigation

Ideal for moving river or dam water to irrigate crops without electricity. Many farmers in off-grid locations use spiral pumps powered by windmills or animal-driven systems.

💧 2. Remote Water Supply

Spiral pumps are often used to transfer water from rivers, creeks, or shallow wells to elevated tanks or troughs in rural communities, particularly where solar or diesel is impractical.

🏕️ 3. Eco-Friendly Water Systems

In permaculture and sustainability-focused developments, spiral pumps are used to minimise power consumption while maintaining steady water flow.

⚙️ 4. Educational and Demonstration Systems

Due to their simple operation and mechanical visibility, spiral pumps are widely used in engineering education and water sustainability demos.


Advantages of Spiral Pumps

✅ 1. No External Power Required

Spiral pumps can be powered by water flow, gravity, or simple mechanical rotation. No electricity or fuel required—perfect for remote or off-grid areas.

✅ 2. Simple, Durable Design

With no valves, pistons, or electronics, spiral pumps have minimal wear parts. This makes them highly resistant to breakdowns and corrosion.

✅ 3. Low Maintenance

Routine maintenance is nearly nonexistent. Once installed, the pump can run unattended for long periods with only basic checks.

✅ 4. Environmentally Friendly

Spiral pumps offer a carbon-free, low-noise, and non-polluting alternative to powered systems. They’re ideal for sites where ecological footprint matters.

✅ 5. Low Cost and Easy Installation

Their simple construction and basic materials (coils, tubing, frame) make spiral pumps highly affordable and easy to install—especially in DIY or community-led projects.


Limitations of Spiral Pumps

While spiral pumps are effective for specific scenarios, they do have limitations:

  • Low Head: Usually lifts water up to 5–7 metres max
  • Low Flow Rate: Suitable for irrigation or storage, not high-demand industrial applications
  • Not Ideal for Viscous or Abrasive Fluids: Designed for clean or lightly contaminated water only
  • Not Suitable for High-Pressure Systems: Unlike mono or helical rotor pumps, spiral pumps can’t build significant discharge pressure

At MultiTorque, we help clients determine whether a spiral pump is the right solution—or if a more powerful positive displacement or centrifugal pump is needed.

Mono Screw Pump

If your operation requires a reliable way to move thick, abrasive, or solids-laden fluids, a mono screw pump is one of the most efficient tools available. Also known as a progressive cavity pump, this technology is trusted across Australia’s mining, wastewater, agriculture, and manufacturing sectors.

At MultiTorque, we supply and service mono screw pumps built for harsh Australian conditions. Whether you’re handling sewage sludge, slurry, oil, or molasses, our solutions deliver consistent performance, low maintenance, and long-term value.


What is a Mono Screw Pump?

A mono screw pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses a single rotating helical rotor inside a double-helix stator. As the rotor turns, it creates sealed cavities that move fluid progressively from the suction end to the discharge side. This design allows the pump to handle fluids that are:

  • Highly viscous
  • Abrasive
  • Contain solids or fibres
  • Sensitive to shear or agitation

Unlike centrifugal pumps, mono screw pumps maintain consistent flow rates regardless of fluid thickness or system pressure. This makes them ideal for both delicate materials and heavy-duty industrial use.


How Mono Screw Pumps Work

The core mechanism of a mono screw pump relies on the interaction between the rotor and stator:

  1. The rotor, shaped like a single screw, rotates inside the stator, a molded elastomer with a double-helix internal shape.
  2. As the rotor turns, it forms tightly sealed cavities with the stator.
  3. These cavities move the fluid forward in a smooth, progressive motion.
  4. This low-pulsation flow is perfect for metering, transfer, and dosing applications.

The result is a consistent and low-shear flow that protects both the pump and the fluid.


Advantages of Using a Mono Screw Pump

At MultiTorque, we often recommend mono screw pumps for applications requiring durability, precision, and adaptability. Here’s why:

✅ 1. Handles Thick and Abrasive Fluids

Mono screw pumps are built for the toughest materials. They easily transfer:

  • Sludge
  • Slurry
  • Oil
  • Paint
  • Food pastes
  • Chemical mixtures

Even fluids with sand, fibres, or solids are no problem thanks to the pump’s gentle but forceful action.

✅ 2. Low Pulsation and Consistent Flow

The progressive cavity mechanism delivers smooth, pulse-free flow, making mono screw pumps perfect for dosing systems and precise delivery.

✅ 3. Shear-Sensitive Fluid Friendly

Because there’s minimal turbulence or chopping motion, mono screw pumps are great for sensitive products such as dairy, emulsions, and cosmetic pastes.

✅ 4. Self-Priming and High Suction Lift

Mono screw pumps can self-prime and operate in low-pressure environments, even with suction lifts of up to 9 metres. This makes them ideal for tank emptying, mobile pumping, or remote site dewatering.

✅ 5. Reversible Operation

Many mono screw pumps can reverse flow direction without mechanical modification, adding flexibility to system design and control.

Rotor Pump

In demanding industries where precise, reliable, and efficient fluid movement is essential, a rotor pump stands out as a workhorse. At MultiTorque, we specialise in supplying, servicing, and maintaining high-quality rotor pumps across Australia for applications ranging from mining and wastewater to food production and chemical handling.

Whether you’re considering a new pump solution or looking to upgrade existing equipment, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about rotor pumps — how they work, their advantages, key applications, and why MultiTorque is the trusted name for pump solutions across the country.


What is a Rotor Pump?

A rotor pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses rotating components (known as rotors) to move fluid through a fixed-volume chamber. These pumps are designed to handle a wide range of viscosities, making them incredibly versatile.

Rotor pumps come in various configurations, including:

  • Helical rotor pumps (also known as progressive cavity pumps)
  • Lobe pumps
  • Gear pumps
  • Vane pumps

All of these rely on a similar principle: trapping a specific amount of fluid and moving it from the inlet to the outlet in a smooth, controlled flow.


How Does a Rotor Pump Work?

While designs vary slightly based on type, all rotor pumps operate using mechanical rotation to move fluid. In a typical rotor pump:

  1. Rotors (usually one or two) rotate inside a sealed housing.
  2. The rotation creates cavities or pockets where fluid is trapped.
  3. As the rotors turn, these pockets transport the fluid toward the discharge side.
  4. The motion creates a steady, low-pulsation flow that is ideal for precise dosing or shear-sensitive fluids.

This makes rotor pumps ideal for applications that require accuracy, low shear, and reliability.


Key Benefits of Rotor Pumps

Let MultiTorque power your flow with the perfect rotor pump for your industry.



A helical rotor pump, also known as a progressive cavity pump, is a powerful and versatile solution for moving thick, viscous, or abrasive fluids. At MultiTorque, we specialise in supplying and servicing helical rotor pumps across a wide range of industries in Australia. Whether you’re dealing with mining slurry, wastewater, or oil transfer, these pumps are built to handle the toughest conditions while delivering reliable, consistent performance.

In this guide, we’ll break down how helical rotor pumps work, their key benefits, common applications, and what makes MultiTorque your go-to supplier for everything pump-related.


What is a Helical Rotor Pump?

A helical rotor pump is a type of positive displacement pump designed to move fluids through a sealed cavity. It features two main components: a single-helix metal rotor and a double-helix elastomer stator. As the rotor turns inside the stator, cavities form and move along the pump, carrying fluid from the inlet to the outlet.

Unlike centrifugal pumps, which rely on high-speed rotation and impellers, helical rotor pumps excel at delivering constant, low-pulsation flow rates even with viscous or solid-laden fluids.


How Does a Helical Rotor Pump Work?

The working principle of a helical rotor pump is based on progressive cavity movement. Here’s a quick breakdown:

  1. The rotor rotates inside the stator, creating tightly sealed cavities.
  2. These cavities move in a progressive manner along the axis of the pump.
  3. As the rotor turns, fluid is transported through these cavities from the suction side to the discharge side.
  4. The continuous motion ensures smooth, pulse-free flow.

Because the internal clearances are tight, the pump is also capable of self-priming, making it ideal for applications where suction lift is needed.


Key Benefits of Helical Rotor Pumps

At MultiTorque, we recommend helical rotor pumps for applications where precision, durability, and efficiency matter. Here are some of the core advantages:

✅ 1. Excellent for High Viscosity Fluids

Helical rotor pumps can handle everything from thick sludge and oils to food pastes and chemicals. Their ability to process highly viscous fluids without clogging sets them apart from standard pump designs.

✅ 2. Low Pulsation Flow

Unlike piston or diaphragm pumps, helical rotor pumps deliver a smooth, near-laminar flow. This is especially important for dosing, metering, or fluid transfer applications that require consistent pressure.

✅ 3. Gentle Handling of Shear-Sensitive Materials

Because the fluid experiences minimal turbulence and shear, these pumps are ideal for sensitive products like emulsions, polymers, and even certain food-grade materials.

✅ 4. Self-Priming Capability
