Progressive Cavity Pumps for Chemical Slurries

Controlled positive-displacement transfer for chemical mixtures containing suspended solids, crystals, fillers or abrasive particles.

Solids-Bearing Chemical Transfer

Evaluate chemistry and abrasion together

Chemical slurries can combine corrosive liquid phases with suspended particles that create abrasion and settling risk. Progressive cavity pumps can provide controlled positive-displacement transfer when rotor, stator, seal materials, speed and inlet conditions are selected for both the chemistry and the solids.

ViscosityDense and non-Newtonian mixtures
Controlled flowVariable-speed transfer and feed
Selection Framework

Use actual solids and formulation data

Particle concentration, size and hardness influence wear, while density, viscosity and settling tendency affect suction performance. Chemical concentration and temperature influence elastomer swelling, corrosion resistance and seal-material suitability.
