What Is a PC Pump?

A PC pump, or progressive cavity pump, is a type of positive displacement pump designed for the smooth, continuous transfer of fluids. It features a single-helix rotor turning inside a double-helix stator, creating cavities that move fluid through the pump with minimal shear and pulsation.

Known for their efficiency and versatility, PC pumps are ideal for handling viscous, abrasive, and shear-sensitive fluids — making them essential across wastewater, mining, food, and chemical industries.

How Does a Progressive Cavity Pump Work?

As the rotor turns inside the stator, cavities open and close in a corkscrew motion. This allows the fluid to move in a constant, metered flow. The low pulsation and gentle action of PC pumps make them suitable for fluids that are thick, fragile, or contain solids.

Unlike centrifugal pumps, progressive cavity pumps maintain flow and pressure regardless of fluid viscosity or changes in system backpressure.

Applications for PC Pumps

MultiTorque’s PC pumps are used across Australia in:

• Wastewater Treatment: Sludge, slurry, and chemical dosing.

• Mining & Minerals: Thickened tailings, grit, and high-viscosity slurries.

• Oil & Gas: Crude oil, drilling mud, and separator waste.

• Food & Beverage: Syrups, purees, dairy, and brewery waste.

• Agriculture: Fertilizers, feed mixes, and effluent systems.

Why Choose a PC Pump?

Progressive cavity pumps offer unique benefits:

• Smooth Flow: Ideal for shear-sensitive or fragile products.

• Consistent Performance: Delivers constant flow regardless of pressure or viscosity.

• Solids Handling: Tolerates suspended solids and abrasive fluids.

• Self-Priming: Capable of dry priming and lifting fluid from below pump level.

• Energy Efficient: Reduces energy costs by maintaining flow without needing high RPM.
