PCM Moineau™ Progressive Cavity Pump for Viscous, Abrasive and Sensitive Fluids

The progressive cavity pump is a positive displacement pumping solution invented in 1932 by René Moineau, co-founder of PCM. It delivers constant, pulse-free flow, including for viscous, laden or sensitive fluids. With over 95 years of expertise, PCM masters the complete design and manufacture of this technology. 

PCM designs and manufactures progressive cavity pumps for industrial, food, wastewater, chemical and oil & gas applications.

When to use a progressive cavity pump?

The Moineau™ pump is the reference technology for applications requiring controlled flow, product integrity preservation or the pumping of complex fluids: sludge, oils, polymers, food or cosmetic products, particle-laden fluids.

FAQ - Progressive cavity pump

 

What is a progressive cavity pump?

A progressive cavity pump is a positive displacement pump that uses a rotor and stator to deliver a constant, low-pulsation flow. It is well suited for viscous, abrasive, particle-laden or shear-sensitive fluids.

When should I use a progressive cavity pump?

Use a progressive cavity pump when the process requires controlled flow, gentle product handling, accurate dosing or reliable transfer of complex fluids such as sludge, polymers, oils, food products or cosmetics.

Is PCM a progressive cavity pump manufacturer?

Yes. PCM designs and manufactures Moineau™ progressive cavity pumps and has more than 95 years of expertise in this technology, invented by René Moineau, co-founder of PCM.

Which industries use PCM progressive cavity pumps?

PCM progressive cavity pumps are used in food and beverage, cosmetics, chemicals, water and wastewater treatment, oil and gas, biogas and other industrial processes.

What are the advantages of PCM Moineau™ progressive cavity pumps?

They provide constant flow, low pulsation, gentle transfer, good handling of viscous or loaded fluids, and product integrity preservation across demanding applications.
