From the name of the inventor and PCM co-founder: René Moineau

PRINCIPLE OF MOINEAU™ TECHNOLOGY 

A Moineau™ pump consists of a helical rotor turning into a helical stator. When the rotor turns inside the stator, the honeycomb progresses spirally along the axis of the pump without changing either shape or volume. This action transfers the product from the pump suction to the pump discharge without degrading the product.

BENEFITS 

• Preserves the texture of fragile fluids (no shearing compared with lobe or ECP technologies)
• Handles fluids with solids
• High suction capability
• Self-priming
• Constant non-pulsating flow
• Reversible

The ideal choice to reduce maintenance costs

PRINCIPLE OF DELASCO™ TECHNOLOGY 

The peristaltic pumping principle is based on the capacity of a soft elastomer hose to accept a deformation and subsequently recover its initial shape. Peristaltic pumps are provided with either high or low pressure hoses, covering a wide range of applications which need versatility and flexibility.

BENEFITS 

• Only one wearing part: the hose
• Seal-less design
• Self-priming
• High suction capacity
• Simplified maintenance
• Low life cycle costs
• No mechanical seals, valves or gaskets

The keys of a perfect dosing and filling

PRINCIPLE OF DOSYS™ TECHNOLOGY 

Dosys™ pump technology sits at the heart of all PCM systems. Invented by PCM, it makes it feasible to replace wasteful systems with highly accurate and efficient inline injection. Dosys™ pump automatically synchronizes dosing volumes with the filling station for optimal performance. It also meters the ingredients with precision, thanks to servo-driven piston and a patented flow-control valve. Dosys™ pumps are designed to handle liquids, semi-solids and viscous products without degrading their texture

PRINCIPLE LAGOA TECHNOLOGY 

The Lagoa pump is composed of a diaphragm connected to a piston of which the alternating movement successively fills and empties the pumphead. 

1. The backward movement of the diaphragm opens the bottom check valve and allows the entry of fluid, which fills the pumphead.
2. The forward movement of the diaphragm closes the bottom check valve, opens the top check valve and expels the dose.

BENEFITS 

• Reliability of metering
• Simplified maintenance
• Dosys™ pumps handle ingredients with large semi-solids (up to 1 3/4 inch) without damaging them
• Because there is no rotating movement, solids remain suspended in the liquid medium; no emulsion or aeration is created
• Dosys™ pumps can be cleaned in place (CIP/SIP)
