The Technology of Silence

We are the designers and manufacturers of high performance silent hydraulic three screw pumps and the inventors of the Continuum® technology.

Settima Meccanica was established in 1978, with the aim of producing high technology three screw pumps for the lift & elevators industry, capable of minimizing noise emissions and pulsations in hydraulic circuits. Over time our continuous attention to customer needs has led us to gain experience in various fields, increasing our product portfolio and becoming the leading manufacturer of no noise pumps, both for low & high pressure applications. 
 
In 2001 we  invented a new range of helical rotor external gear pumps which became famous with the trademark Continuum®, the first NO NOISE and NO VIBRATIONS pump for high pressure and high speed applications. Its revolutionary concept is internationally patented. The Continuum® pump soon became the benchmark in key industrial and mobile applications. 
High precision machining is the heart of Settima production system. 
 
A network of selected and qualified suppliers ensures the optimal flow of materials and constant support. Product reliability is guaranteed by innovative equipment and procedures for quality control. The engineering department, equipped with cutting-edge design tools, allows the company to develop special projects and customized solutions. 
Our market knowledge, our attention to detail, our employees' development are the key factors of our growth. 
 
Experience, competence and maximum dialogue for custom solutions make Settima a dynamic company with unique capabilities in the hydraulic sector, able to renew itself and look to new and more demanding applications.

Submersible screw pumps for lift and elevators applications SM pumps are three screws pumps for industrial use at low and medium pressure (up to 80 bar). SM pumps represent a reliable and low noise component for applications where long life and low cost are required, such as home lifts and elevators. SM pumps are available with both male and hollow shaft (for direct motor-pump coupling). SM pump is a priming pump assembled into a pump body. The pump body and the design of the screws avoids any axial load. The functional pressure develops some tolerance between the balancing piston of the main screw and the surrounding body. This creates a balancing hydrodynamic force of the screws and, at the same time, lubricates and cools down the sealing parts. The torque needed to move the lateral screws is transmitted hydraulically by the pumped fluid. This means that the screws rotate with no possibility of mechanical wearing. The advanced design and high precision of screw manufacturing ensure a very low level of acoustic emissions and pulsations. The geometry and high precision machining of the three screws create sealing chambers. During the rotation of the screws, the main screw creates a cavity that holds the fluid and drives it smoothly in the axial direction from the inlet to the outlet port.
