Progressive Cavity Pump

Progressive cavity pump is a kind of positive displacement pump to move fluid or media from the suction side of the pump to the discharge side of the pump from storage tanks or through pipelines. It has been used as a fluid transfer pump for years and is ideally suited to a variety of applications within various industries and can transfer high and low viscosity products with suspended solids or slurries.

How does a Progressive Cavity Pump works ?
The liquid is moved by means of a cavity which moves along the body of the pump. As the cavity moves, fluid is sucked in to fill the cavity, further rotation of the pump causes the fluid to flow and be delivered from the pump. Each cavity holds a certain volume and with each turn fluid is moved through the pump.

Applications of Progressive Pump:

• Wastewater and Sludge
• Food and Beverage
• Biotechnology
• Paints and Glues
• Oil and Gas
• Chemicals
• Plastics
• Pharmaceutical
• Chemical
• Food Processing Applications

Uses and Features of Progressive Cavity Pump:

• A progressive cavity pump is used pump wide range of fluid viscosities.
  
  
• The operation, maintenance and installation is generally simple.
  
  
• Product remains unchanged during pumping process.
  
  
• High resistance to abrasion and corrosion.
  
  
• Advantages of progressing cavity pumps include moving viscous media at lower velocities as well.
  
  
• The pumps can be used in higher flow applications.
  
  
• These pumps use a singular screw to handle fluids in a continuous flow.
  
  
• When choosing materials for progressing cavity pumps, the user must consider the type of liquid to be pumped and the components of the pump that are in contact with the fluid.
