Progressive Cavity Pumps

Progressive Cavity Pumps and PC Pump Spares: Precision Control in Viscous Fluid handling. Progressive Cavity, or Progressing Cavity (PC) Pumps excel at moving highly viscous pastes such as high-dry matter sludge and pastes. They lend themselves to many industrial applications from food production to waste-to-energy projects including anaerobic digestion, biogas, and biosolids/digestate cake.

Low shear, low pulsation pumping and high-accuracy dosing are situations where PC pumps are often a good choice.

Features that differ between progressing cavity pumps include ease of maintenance, wear-life, pitch design (long pitch vs short pitch), rotor-to-stator ratio, maximum head pressure and flow rate efficiency. Atlantic Pumps can advise on the best type for your application as selecting the one with the lowest ownership costs depends on many factors including fluid viscosity, maximum solids passage, abrasiveness/ corrosiveness etc.
