Progressive cavity pumps are incredibly versatile, serving industries as varied as construction, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and wastewater management. Whether you are pumping cementitious grout at a construction site or yeast-laden wort in a craft brewery, selecting the right pump is crucial for operational efficiency and product quality. Viscid Flow provides tailored pumping solutions to match the unique requirements of each industry.
Matching Pump to Fluid:
Grouting & Construction: These applications deal with high-density slurries containing sand, cement, and other particulates. Viscid Flow pumps offer heavy-duty rotors and anti-abrasion coatings for long service life.
Winery & Brewery: Liquids like grape must, wine, or unfermented beer wort must be transferred without introducing oxygen or heat. Low-shear progressive cavity pumps are perfect for preserving flavor and fermentation.
Food Processing: For products like sauces, jams, and yogurt, maintaining texture and sanitation is key. Our pumps come with CIP (Clean-In-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-In-Place) compatibility.
Pharmaceuticals: Our pumps ensure contamination-free transfers of gels, creams, and syrups with high precision and hygiene.
Selection Tips:
Know Your Fluid Viscosity: Higher viscosity fluids require larger pump cavities and more torque.
Check for Solids: The type and size of solids in the fluid affect rotor geometry and stator design.
Understand Temperature Sensitivity: Some fluids may degrade if exposed to heat or shear—select pumps accordingly.
Consider Cleaning & Maintenance: Choose pumps with easy access and compatibility with cleaning systems.
