Progressive Cavity

Our Progressive Cavity Pumps are volumetric pumps capable of self-priming and are suited to highly viscous, shear-sensitive & heterogeneous fluids containing gas, solids, abrasive particles & fibrous materials. Offering reversible flows, high discharge pressures up to 48 Bar & available in configurations from stages 1 to 8.

What is a Progressive Cavity Pump?

Progressive Cavity Pumps, also referred to as Progressing Cavity Pumps or PC Pumps, are volumetric, self-priming Positive Displacement Pumps. The pumps consist of a rotor which rotates within a stator, which in turn causes the stators cavities to fill with the media being pumped.

Progressive Cavity Pumps are ideally suited to moving challenging fluids such as wastewater sludge, slurries, and shear-sensitive materials, with a varied temperature range of – 40°C to +150°C.

How to Select a Progressive Cavity Pump

Progressive Cavity Pumps are available in many executions and have been designed to handle tough and high-viscous fluids, ensuring a near-constant flow rate and exceptional suction lift capabilities.

Advantages of Progressive Cavity Pumps:

Uniform Flow which is proportional to the speed of rotation
Suitable for low NPSHa & suction lift (up to 8 m)
Can pump shear-sensitive & heterogeneous fluids containing gases, solids, abrasive particulates & fibrous materials
Can pump both low and high-viscosity fluids
Can be used for low-flow & dosing applications
Low pulsation with minimal tensile strain on the process media
High discharge pressures, up to 48 bar (6 bar/stage). Units are available with 1 – 8 stages
Patented pin joined design for increased solids passage capabilities
Reversible flow
Modular design

Common Industries & Applications

Biogas
Brewing, Distilling, and Oenological
Papermaking
Wastewater Treatment
Chemical
Pharmaceutical
Cosmetics
Food & Beverage

Maintenance Required to Keep your Progressive Cavity Pumps running:

Regular maintenance is crucial to keeping your pump performing at its best and ensuring a long life span. Progressive Cavity Pumps are unable to dry run for long periods, so preventing this is one of the key factors for maintaining a PC pump, along with:

Stator inspections
Bearing housing
Lubrication replacement
Checking for wear and tear on seals
Inspect for shaft wear

Depending on the size of your pump and the fluid you are pumping, a more detailed maintenance schedule may be required.

Additional Factors to Consider

Will your pump be stationary, or do you need it to be portable? If you require portability, Progressive Cavity Pumps can be fitted to trolleys of any size to suit your needs.
Will you require additional accessories for your pump? Progressive Cavity Pumps come in a wide range of executions and can be modified to your requirements.

What are your Fluid & Media Transfer Characteristics?

To choose the appropriate Progressive Cavity Pump for your application, ask yourself the following questions:

What is the viscosity of the media you intend to pump? Consider viscosity limitations, shear sensitivity etc.
Do you need to pump fluids containing solids?
Is your environment or fluid explosive?
Do you require hygienic connections?
Do you require self-priming capabilities?
