  4. PCM HyCare™ PCP for Leaking Cheese Pumping

PCM HyCare™ PCP for Leaking Cheese Pumping

Client: Ricotta cheese producer, United States

Application: Transfer of highly viscous ricotta containing large solids

Objective: Replace leaking PCPs while preserving product integrity

MOINEAU-PUMPS-RICOTTA

Challenge

A dairy producer in the United States needed to replace leaking Progressive Cavity Pumps used for transferring ricotta cheese. The product is highly viscous, contains large solids, and its water content settles quickly, making pumping and suction lift challenging. The objective was to pump the cheese without damaging solids and eliminate leaking seals.

Benefits / Results

  • Successfully pulled suction and maintained flow while operators fed product into the tank outlet
  • One PCM HyCare™ pump could serve three tanks sequentially
  • Installation was later duplicated across nine rows of three tanks
  • Outperformed other pump technologies (Twin Screw and Circumferential Piston), which failed to achieve required suction lift
  • Plant employees described the trial as the best they had experienced

PCM Solution - PCM Hycare™

PCM proposed an on-site trial with the HyCare™ Progressive Cavity Pump, demonstrating its ability to:

  • Pull suction from the furthest tank and maintain flow even during gaps
  • Handle highly viscous cheese with large solids gently
  • Replace the existing pump and eliminate leakage issues

A PCM service engineer supervised the trial to ensure optimal setup and performance.
