Progressive Cavity Pumps for Food & Beverage

Controlled positive-displacement pumping for sauces, pastes, purees, syrups, molasses, brewery streams and other viscous or solids-bearing food products.

Process Engineering

Gentle, controlled transfer for challenging products

Food and beverage processors handle products whose viscosity, solids content and sensitivity can make conventional pumping difficult. Progressive cavity pumps provide predictable positive-displacement flow and can move many viscous or solids-bearing products at controlled speed while limiting unnecessary agitation and shear.

Application Center

Food & beverage progressive cavity pump applications

Dedicated application pages cover the strongest food and beverage uses. Existing ACCA technical articles remain supporting resources where a separate child page would duplicate content.

SP

Sauces, Pastes & Purees

Controlled transfer of viscous sauces, purees, pastes, concentrates and products containing soft solids.

SM

Syrups & Molasses

Positive-displacement handling of high-viscosity sweeteners, syrups, molasses and similar process ingredients.

BG

Brewery & Spent Grain

Low-shear transfer for brewery byproducts, pumpable spent-grain mixtures, yeast and viscous brewery streams.

Selection Framework

How to select a food-process progressive cavity pump

Food applications require both hydraulic and process evaluation. Product rheology, suspended solids and temperature affect pump performance, while wetted materials, seals, surface finish and cleaning method must fit the plant’s process requirements.
