Why Not Progressive Cavity Pumps for the Sugar Industry?

The sugar industry produces highly viscous fluids like molasses, massecuite, press mud slurry and even sludges. These materials are highly consistent and shear sensitive. Preserving these fluid properties is essential in sugar processing. While there are many types of pumps in the market, Food Grade Progressive Cavity Pumps meet these challenges head-on.  

Centrifugal and piston pumps are just not enough to transfer fluids with viscosities above 5000 cP. Sugar refineries produce a huge amount of these fluids, and they need special type of pumps.

Sugar production needs high levels of hygiene and zero impurities. Sugar refineries must transfer byproducts like molasses in hygienic conditions. Here, the pumps with Clean-In-Place (CIP) & Sterilize-In-Place (SIP) features should be installed to ensure the products are safe from impurities. 

Progressive Cavity Pumps move liquids smoothly with the help of a rotor and stator. They do this without any changes to the fluid properties. It has high suction capability, which is perfect for transferring thick, sticky fluids. Their output is consistent across viscosities, and these pumps usually have a long service life.
