Progressing cavity pump principle

What is a Progressive Cavity Pump?

A PCP pump is a positive displacement pump based on a helical rotor rotating inside an elastomeric stator. This creates sealed cavities that move progressively from the pump inlet to the discharge.

This pumping principle provides a controlled and regular flow, making progressing cavity pumps particularly suitable for fluids that can be difficult to handle with conventional pumping technologies.

PCM has developed progressing cavity pumps based on the Moineau™ principle for a wide range of industrial applications.

Why choose a progressive cavity pump?

Progressive cavity pumps are particularly suitable when the pumped product presents challenges such as:

  • High viscosity
  • Suspended solids
  • Abrasive particles
  • Shear sensitivity
  • Accurate or controlled flow requirements

Looking to replace an existing Progressive Cavity Pump in the UK ?

Replacing an existing progressive cavity pump does not necessarily mean selecting the same pump configuration. Operating conditions, fluid characteristics and maintenance requirements may have changed since the original equipment was installed.

PCM Group UK Ltd can review the application to help determine an appropriate progressive cavity pump configuration based on parameters including:

  • Required flow rate
  • Discharge pressure
  • Fluid viscosity
  • Solids content and particle size
  • Abrasiveness
  • Temperature
  • Chemical compatibility
  • Installation constraints
  • Maintenance requirements

This allows the replacement pump to be selected around the actual process conditions, rather than simply replacing equipment on a like-for-like basis.

Progressive cavity pumps for demanding UK industries

Frequently Asked Questions

What are progressive cavity pump alternative in the UK?

A progressive cavity pump from another manufacturer may provide an alternative when the application requires the same positive displacement pumping principle. The appropriate replacement should be selected according to the actual flow, pressure, viscosity, solids content, temperature and chemical compatibility requirements of the application.

Does PCM manufacture progressive cavity pumps alternative?

Yes. PCM specialises in positive displacement pump technologies and manufactures a range of progressing cavity pumps based on the Moineau™ pumping principle.

Can PCM replace an existing PCP pump?

PCM can assess an existing progressing cavity pump application and recommend a PCM pump configuration according to the operating conditions. Compatibility and installation requirements should be reviewed for each replacement project rather than assuming a direct like-for-like interchange.

What fluids can progressing cavity pumps handle?

Depending on their configuration and materials, progressing cavity pumps can handle viscous, abrasive, solids-laden and shear-sensitive fluids across industries including wastewater, chemical, food, biogas, mining and oil and gas.
