When it comes to handling abrasive, viscous, or solids-laden fluids, few pumps can match the performance of a progressive cavity slurry pump. Designed to move tough materials with consistent flow and minimal shear, these pumps are the go-to choice for industries across mining, wastewater treatment, and chemical processing. At MultiTorque, we not only supply industry-leading progressive cavity slurry pumps, but also offer expert servicing, repairs, and spare parts to keep your systems running smoothly.

What Is a Progressive Cavity Slurry Pump?

A progressive cavity slurry pump is a type of positive displacement pump engineered to transfer difficult slurries with high efficiency. It uses a helical rotor and stator assembly to create cavities that move fluid steadily and gently. Unlike centrifugal pumps, which rely on high-speed impellers, progressive cavity pumps are ideal for thick, abrasive, and shear-sensitive slurries.

The pump’s ability to handle abrasive materials like mineral slurries, lime slurry, and dewatered sludge makes it a reliable choice in environments where other pumps often fail.

Key Benefits of Progressive Cavity Slurry Pumps

1. Low Pulsation, Smooth Flow
These pumps offer a steady, non-pulsating flow that is crucial for accurate dosing and metering in slurry applications.

2. Excellent for Abrasive Fluids
The design ensures long wear life, even when handling solids-laden slurries. The rotor-stator system allows for consistent performance with minimal degradation.

3. Gentle Handling
The low internal velocity of the progressive cavity design means shear-sensitive fluids like bio-slurries or polymer solutions are pumped without damage.

4. Self-Priming and Dry Running Capabilities
Many progressive cavity slurry pumps are self-priming and can handle intermittent dry-running conditions, making them ideal for remote or challenging environments.

5. Reversible Operation
They can be operated in both directions, adding flexibility to system design and maintenance strategies.

Common Applications

At MultiTorque, we’ve seen our clients deploy progressive cavity slurry pumps in a wide range of heavy-duty operations:

• Mining & Mineral Processing: For tailings, slurry transfer, and thickener underflow.

• Wastewater Treatment: For sludge, grit, and lime dosing applications.

• Agriculture: For manure slurry and digestate transfer.

• Food & Beverage: For pumping thick mash, pulp, and waste slurry.

• Chemical Processing: For transferring corrosive and abrasive slurries.

No matter your industry, we’ll match you with a progressive cavity slurry pump built for your specific operating conditions.
