Progressive cavity pumps are great for gentle dosing of difficult media like solids and abrasives – even at high pressures and viscosities.
Self-priming and valve-less, they have unique capabilities. They can handle both low and highly viscous material, as well as solids like fruit and vegetables.
Thanks to high process liability and suction capacity, they are often used for continuous, gentle conveyance and the precise dosing of difficult media such as abrasive and corrosive fluids.

Best applications for a Progressive Cavity Pump
Progressive cavity pumps are used in many applications, from wastewater treatment, to oil or food and beverages. They are well suited to solids, fluids with low to high viscosity, abrasive and toxic or corrosive media. Here are just a few of the potential applications for a PC pump:
Slurry and sludge transfer
Oils (non-lubricating and lubricating)
Cosmetics, creams, and lotions
Paint, varnish
Adhesives
Shear-sensitive fruits and vegetables
