Submersible Progressive Cavity Pump: Powerful Precision Below the Surface 2025

Submersible Progressive Cavity Pump

When you need reliable pumping power deep below ground or under fluid, a submersible progressive cavity pump delivers like no other. Designed to handle viscous, abrasive, or solid-laden fluids in submerged conditions, this pump combines the smooth flow of progressive cavity technology with the rugged build needed for submersion.

At MultiTorque, we supply, service, and support submersible progressive cavity pumps across Australia, offering solutions for mining, wastewater, dewatering, and borehole applications.


What Is a Submersible Progressive Cavity Pump?

A submersible progressive cavity pump is a type of positive displacement pump that operates while fully submerged in the fluid it’s designed to move. Unlike surface pumps, this setup eliminates suction issues, reduces installation complexity, and improves efficiency—especially in deep or hard-to-reach pits.

It uses a helical rotor turning inside an elastomer stator to create isolated cavities, moving fluid steadily from inlet to outlet with minimal pulsation or shear. The progressive cavity design ensures consistent flow, even with thick or abrasive media.


Why Choose a Submersible PC Pump?

1. Ideal for Deep or Remote Applications
These pumps are perfect for deep sumps, remote mining pits, underground water tables, or wastewater lagoons where surface pumps can’t pull effectively.

2. Handles Thick, Gritty Fluids
Progressive cavity pumps thrive on difficult fluids. The submersible design makes them ideal for sludges, slurries, tailings, and even viscous chemical waste.

3. Quiet and Compact
Without the need for long suction lines or above-ground motor setups, submersible PC pumps operate more quietly and take up less space.

4. Low Maintenance Design
Fewer moving parts and strong mechanical seals mean less frequent servicing, especially when using abrasion- and corrosion-resistant materials.


Applications Across Australia

MultiTorque supplies submersible progressive cavity pumps for the following sectors:

  • Mining & Mineral Processing
    Pumping tailings, grit slurries, and decant water from underground or open pit operations.
