Progressive Cavity Pumps

Also known as Eccentric Screw Pumps, or Helical Rotor Pumps - Progressive Cavity Pumps are engineered for precise, low-pulsation fluid transfer. These positive displacement pumps are ideal for handling high-viscosity, abrasive, and shear-sensitive liquids, ensuring a smooth and efficient flow.

  • Progressive Cavity Pumps are positive displacement pumps designed to handle difficult, viscous, and abrasive fluids with precision and consistency. Operating through the rotation of a single helical rotor inside a double-helix stator, these pumps create sealed cavities that move fluid smoothly and without pulsation. Ideal for applications where flow stability, low shear, and precise metering are critical, progressive cavity pumps are trusted across a wide range of industries.


    KEY BENEFITS INCLUDE:

    • Low shear, gentle pumping – protects product integrity in sensitive processes

    • Accurate, non-pulsing flow – ideal for dosing, metering, and blending

    • Excellent for high-viscosity or abrasive fluids – handles sludges, slurries, and solids

    • Self-priming and suction-lift capable – operates reliably in challenging setups

    • Compact footprint with high performance – great for confined installations

  • Progressive Cavity Pumps are used wherever reliable, smooth, and precise fluid movement is essential. 


    COMMON APPLICATIONS INCLUDE:

    • Wastewater and sludge treatment - Transfers thick sludges, biosolids, and dewatered cake in municipal and industrial systems.

    • Food and beverage processing - Pumps viscous and shear-sensitive products like dough, fruit puree, dairy, sauces, and syrups with hygienic care.

    • Chemical processing - Accurately meters acids, polymers, additives, and resins in production lines.

    • Mining and mineral processing - Handles abrasive slurries, tailings, and reagents in demanding environments.

    • Oil and gas - Moves crude oil, drilling mud, and produced water with consistent flow and resistance to wear.

    • Cosmetics and pharmaceuticals - Pumps creams, gels, and lotions where gentle handling and hygiene are required.

  • We offer a full range of progressive cavity pumps to suit various industries and fluid characteristics. 


    PUMP CONFIGURATIONS INCLUDE:

    • Standard Industrial Progressive Cavity Pumps – Built for heavy-duty use in wastewater, mining, and manufacturing applications.

    • Hygienic Progressive Cavity Pumps – Designed for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical use, often with CIP/SIP capability and stainless steel construction.

    • Dosing and Metering Pumps – Precision models for low-flow applications requiring high accuracy.

    • Open Hopper Pumps – For highly viscous, non-flowable products like pastes, sludges, or dewatered cake.

    • Vertical and Tank-Mounted Options – Space-saving designs for pits, sumps, or integration into process vessels.
