Is it feasible to replace the positions of the drive and driven shafts in a high-pressure twin-screw pump while keeping the rotation direction of the main shaft unchanged?

As the title indicates, it’s a high-pressure screw pump with a pressure of 8.5 MPa; now it’s necessary to change the rotation direction of the drive shaft, while the inlet and outlet directions of the pump must remain unchanged! ? How to change it? What we could do is lengthen the driven shaft to turn it into the driving shaft, and the driving shaft into the driven shaft; in this way, the overall rotation direction remains unchanged. Is that feasible? Additional note: The workshop supervisor said it can’t be changed – the high voltage setting cannot be altered! Help! The spiral remains unchanged; it’s only the master and slave roles that change. Why doesn’t it work? Additional note: I’m unable to respond to internal messages at the moment; a structure diagram is required. Please give me your email address first, and I’ll check with my supervisor to see if it’s possible to send it
Are there any suggestions for improvement? The rotation direction of the diesel engine used is fixed; only the pump can be changed
The helical direction matching also remains unchanged
I’ll hold off on giving my opinion for now. Are you the equipment manufacturer or the user of the pump? If you are the user of the pump, you can consult the equipment manufacturer
Hehe, if it’s a equipment manufacturer that makes pumps, then design is necessary; just combine the various elements together and that’s it. :lol
Oh, then it’s hard to give an opinion
You said that the senior engineer here is upset and wants to quit; we junior technicians really lack experience. Please give us some advice
Can the pump be removed and installed from the other side, so that the original drive end becomes the non-drive end?

We are examining the feasibility of this option. Thank you! In principle, the direction remains unchanged
