Progressive Cavity Pumps for Syrups & Molasses

Controlled positive-displacement transfer for high-viscosity syrups, molasses, sweeteners and concentrated food-process liquids.

High-Viscosity Food Transfer

Predictable flow for thick sweeteners

Syrups and molasses can become extremely viscous as temperature falls or solids concentration increases. Progressive cavity pumps provide positive displacement and controlled flow, making them useful for transfer, batching and process-feed duties where conventional centrifugal performance may decline as viscosity rises.

Selection Framework

Temperature can transform the pumping duty

Viscosity should be specified at the coldest credible startup condition as well as normal operating temperature. High inlet losses can limit cavity filling, so suction piping, tank elevation, pump displacement and speed should be considered together.
