A Progressive Cavity Pump is a type of positive displacement pump, which consists of a rotor and stator. The metal rotor drives the stator through the chain and begins to fill the cavities with equal amounts of liquid which then get pushed through the pump outlet. They are a highly robust pumping system that ensures maximum performance and reliability.
How does a Progressive Cavity Pump work?
The rotor inside the pump rotates within the stator, as it turns, the cavities within the stator are filled with the process media and are carried towards the pump outlet under pressure. The pockets of fluid have a set volume that decides the volumetric flow rate of the pump, this is directly proportional to the rotational speed of the rotor and results in low levels of shearing and little to no pulse.
Are Progressive Cavity Pumps Self Priming?
Progressive cavity pumps do have the added benefit of self-priming capabilities. They cannot however run dry for very long. This is due to the rubber stator needing to be lubricated prior to liquid entering the pump. The Nova Rotas progressive cavity pump version has a suction lift of up to 8m and low NPSHa preventing cavitation occurring inside the pump.
