In the world of industrial fluid handling, not all pumps are created equal. When your application demands precise, consistent flow—especially with viscous, abrasive, or shear-sensitive fluids—there’s one standout solution: the progressive cavity positive displacement pump.

At MultiTorque, we supply, service, and customise progressive cavity pump systems across Australia. With our expert team and nationwide footprint, we deliver pump power with reliability, efficiency, and support to match.

What Is a Progressive Cavity Positive Displacement Pump?

A progressive cavity pump is a type of positive displacement pump that moves fluid through a series of fixed, sealed cavities. It uses a helical rotor that turns inside a double-helix stator, creating pockets that “progress” fluid from the suction side to the discharge point.

Unlike centrifugal pumps that rely on speed and pressure, progressive cavity pumps deliver volumetric flow—a consistent, pulseless stream, ideal for sensitive or abrasive materials.

This makes them perfect for applications where flow accuracy, low shear, and reliability are critical.

Key Features & Benefits

Why do industries across Australia rely on progressive cavity positive displacement pumps?

✅ Handles Thick, Viscous Fluids

From sludge to slurry to molasses, these pumps thrive where others clog or stall.

✅ Low Shear, Gentle Flow

Protects shear-sensitive fluids like polymers, resins, and food-grade products.

✅ Accurate, Pulsation-Free Dosing

Ideal for metering applications requiring consistent flow and volume.

✅ Suction Lift & Self-Priming

Can draw fluids from tanks, sumps, or pits—perfect for dewatering and underground operations.

✅ Reversible Flow

Quickly reverse direction to flush lines or clear blockages.

Why Positive Displacement Matters

Unlike dynamic pumps that lose efficiency with changes in viscosity or pressure, positive displacement pumps maintain their flow regardless of fluid properties. That means:

• No drop in output when handling thick material

• Consistent dosing regardless of line pressure

• Improved process control for critical systems
