Market Insight: Choosing the Right Progressive Cavity Pump – Key Features and Brand Landscape
Market Insight: Choosing the Right Progressive Cavity Pump – Key Features and Brand Landscape Progressive cavity pumps—commonly referred to as single screw pumps—have become a staple in industries requiring the transfer of high-viscosity or solid-laden fluids, such as wastewater treatment, oil extraction, food processing, and chemical manufacturing. Their ability to deliver low-pulsation, stable, and shear-sensitive flow makes them ideal for continuous and precise fluid handling. Why Progressive Cavity Pumps? Unlike centrifugal pumps that rely on impellers, progressive cavity pumps use a rotor-stator structure to form sealed cavities that transfer fluid evenly. Core advantages include: ✅ High tolerance for viscous and abrasive fluids ✅ Gentle conveying action, ideal for fragile or shear-sensitive media ✅ Capable of handling multiphase flow (liquid + gas + solids) ✅ Self-priming and reversible flow capabilities ✅ Minimal pulsation, suitable for metering applications Key Considerati...
