Viscid Flow Pumps And Systems

Progressive cavity pumps excel in slurry applications due to their ability to handle high solids content and viscous fluids without damage or clogging. Their design allows for a smooth, pulsation-free flow, even with abrasive and shear-sensitive materials, making them suitable for industries like mining, wastewater treatment, and food processing. 

Key Features of Progressive Cavity Pumps in Slurry Applications:Handles high solids content:

Progressive cavity pumps are specifically designed to handle fluids with a significant amount of solids, such as sludges and pastes, without clogging. 

Handles viscous and abrasive fluids:The pump's design allows for efficient transfer of viscous and abrasive slurries, common in industries like mining and wastewater treatment. 

Pulsation-free flow:Progressive cavity pumps provide a consistent, smooth flow, which is crucial for applications where shear-sensitive fluids are being pumped. 

Self-priming capability:Many models can prime themselves, meaning they can handle air entrainment and operate even when the suction line is not fully primed. 

Versatility and adaptability:Progressive cavity pumps can be customized for various slurry types and applications, making them adaptable to different industries and processes. 


High pumping strength:The pump can generate significant pumping strength, allowing it to handle high pressure and viscosity. 

Low NPSH requirements:Progressive cavity pumps generally require lower Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) compared to centrifugal pumps, making them suitable for applications with limited suction head. 

Quiet operation:Progressive cavity pumps are known for their relatively quiet operation compared to other pump types
