Progressive cavity pump

seepex has introduced the food-grade BWC Progressive Cavity Pump. It bridges the gap between positive displacement sanitary pumps (low flow & high pressure) and centrifugal pumps (high flow & low pressure) by uniting the best of both designs into one compact package capable of a controlled flow rate of 45 gpm and a maximum pressure of 60 psi. This new pump design is comprised of very few components, simplifying maintenance and reducing the overall cleaning period. The pumps can convey liquids containing suspended solids and slurries that are up to 40,000 centipoise in viscosity.
