Material flow amplifiers comprise at least one helix vane within a vortex chamber of an amplifier body and at least a portion of an outer edge portion of the at least one helix vane is attached to an interior surface of the amplifier body. A centralizer tube is centrally located within the amplifier body and has at least a portion of an inner edge portion of the at least one helix vane is attached to an exterior surface thereof. Such material flow amplifiers provide for flow of flowable material within a flow passage of a material flow conduit to have a cyclonic flow (i.e., vortex or swirling) profile. Advantageously, the cyclonic flow profile centralizes flow toward the central portion of the flow passage, thereby reducing laminar flow to provide for increased flow rate in addition to reducing inner pipeline wear and energy consumption.

Disclosed cyclonic flow-inducing pumps overcome drawbacks associated with known adverse flow conditions that arise from flow of certain types of materials through a material flow conduit. Such cyclonic flow-inducing pumps provide for flow of flowable material within a flow passage of a material flow conduit (e.g., a portion of a pipeline, tubing or the like) to have a cyclonic flow (i.e., vortex or swirling) profile. Advantageously, the cyclonic flow profile centralizes flow toward the central portion of the flow passage, thereby reducing magnitude of laminar flow. Such cyclonic flow profile provides a variety of other advantages as compared to a parabolic flow profile such as, for example, increased flow rate, reduce inner pipeline wear, more uniform inner pipe wear, reduction in energy consumption, reduced or eliminated adverse considerations such as slugging.
