Progressive Cavity Pumps
Progressive Cavity Pumps (PC pumps) are a highly versatile positive displacement technology designed for the gentle, low-shear transfer of viscous, abrasive, shear-sensitive, or solids-laden fluids. Their unique helical rotor and stator design produces a smooth, low-pulsation flow — an important characteristic when handling fragile, living, or high-value media.
Why Choose a Progressive Cavity Pump?
- Gentle, low-shear pumping action — protects product integrity
- Handles high solid content fluids — including sludge, slurry, and fibrous media
- Self-priming — adapts to variable conditions without loss of prime
- Low-pulsation, smooth flow suited to metering and dosing applications
- Wide range of rotor/stator material combinations for different fluid chemistries
Typical Applications
- Wastewater and sludge transfer — thickened sludge, biosolids, and screening reject
- Mining process fluid and slurry transfer
- Food processing — fruit pulp, tomato paste, meat, fish
- Oil & gas — produced water, crude oil, and chemical injection
- Agricultural applications — liquid fertiliser and effluent transfer
