Progressing Cavity (PC) Pumps have the ability to produce consistent pressure and volume over greater distances and lift than standard Dairy Effluent pumps whilst using a lot less power which has made them extremely valuable in addressing certain design challenges.
Their low power usage also enables farmers that have power supply issues to gain more pressure and performance from their Dairy Effluent system without a costly upgrade of their power supply.
These pumps tend to be a lot more expensive than the standard centrifugal pumps and therefore tend to be specialist pumps.
Benefits
-
Low power usage can help to eliminate the need to upgrade power supply to increase pumping performance
-
High pressure/ long haul pumping can offer considerable project cost savings by utilising small bore pipe work and eliminating the need for a series of pumps, when pumping over long distances or with high head requirement
-
High efficiency pump with low absorbed power (by as much as 75% lower compared to a centrifugal pump)
-
Solids handling of up to 10mm diameter
-
Delivers consistent pressure at every hydrant enabling the depths of the Dairy Effluent to be accurately applied onto pasture
-
Surface mounted option making it easier, cleaner and less hazardous for maintenance
-
Ease of maintenance - Installing or dismantling on site, no need to send pump away for repair, reducing downtime
-
It can be mounted vertically on a pontoon if required
-
Low running speeds reduce wear for a longer working pump life which extends the period between routine maintenance
