Food grade progressing cavity pumps
Pulsation-free and offering very low shear operations, our Moineau™ pumps are ideal for tasks that require a steady flow regardless of product viscosity or pressure. They can operate at higher pressure than other positive displacement pumps and can be cleaned in place (CIP).
Moineau technology
- Handles both fragile and viscous products
- High suction and self-priming capabilities
- Constant non-pulsating flow
- Easy to maintain
- Reversible
- Flow rate proportional to running speed
How does a progressing cavity pump work ?
A Moineau pump consists of a helical rotor turning inside a helical stator. The stainless steel rotor is machined to a high degree of precision, and the stator is molded in a resilient elastomer.
The geometry and the dimensions of these parts are such that when the rotor is inserted into the stator, a double chain of watertight cavities (honeycombed-shaped) is created. When the rotor turns inside the stator, the honeycomb progresses spirally along the axis of the pump without changing either shape or volume.
This action transfers the product from the pump intake to the pump discharge without degrading the product.
PCM HyCare™ sanitary progressing cavity pump
PCM HyCare™ is the most hygienic progressing cavity pump on the market. This sanitary PCP has been designed to meet the strictest food hygiene standards.
PCM Ecomoineau™ C food grade progressing cavity pumps
The PCM EcoMoineau™ C is the shortest food grade stainless steel Progressing Cavity Pump in the market. This new Eco designed and compact pump is dedicated for food markets.
PCM EcoMoineau™CF floating stator - small food grade progressing cavity pump
As one of most compact progressing cavity pumps available today, the PCM Compact pump can handle a wide range of fluids with varying viscosities and solids. It provides good suction lift and can tolerate run dry. It offers low Life Cycle Cost, thanks to simple design, cost-efficient maintenance and reduced weight. The pump can be rapidly dismantled for Cleaning Out of Place (COP) in food applications.
PCM EasyFeed hopper progressing cavity pumps
The growing demand for more concentrated and sophisticated products often implies an increase in the viscosity of the products being transferred. If your product is viscous, pasty, sticky, greasy, thick, or concentrated, PCM provides an appropriate solution for each type of rheology through its range of force feeding progressing cavity pumps – PCM EASYFEED.
PCM HyFeed hygienic hopper progressing cavity pumps
The PCM force feeding pumps are adapted to your needs for the transfer of viscous and heterogeneous products. The hygienic PCM HyFeed progressive cavity pump with Moineau™ technology is ideal for transferring highly viscous, heterogeneous with or without particles, pasty or even sticky fluids and bacteriologically sensitive.
