Proactive innovation

Inventor of the PCPRené Moineau, the founder of PCM, invented the world’s firstProgressing Cavity Pump (PCP) in 1930. It was the start of theinnovation and technical excellence that made PCM famous.

The elastomer expertsThe ability of an elastomer to withstand the pumping action and thefluids being handled has a direct impact on the efficiency and reliabilityof a pumping system. While many other pump manufacturers usethird-party elastomers, we mix and produce our own to ensure thehighest quality and maximum compatibility. And thanks to over 75 years of experience in elastomers, we have a unique database of formulas and compatibilities.

Fluid knowledgeThe design of our pumps starts in the Flow Technology Center. Insteadof inventing pumps and trying to adapt them to your needs, our FlowTechnology Center focuses on fluids to identify the best pump design.

Focus on life cycle efficiencyPumps lie at the heart of an incredibly wide range of industrialapplications. The better adapted a pump, the more efficiently itoperates. Poorly adapted pumps may cause production losses,maintenance downtime and unnecessary energy consumption.We use Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis to identify the most cost-effectivepumping solution, and LCC is not reserved for new pump acquisitions.Studies estimate that changing equipment and/or control systems canincrease energy savings by 30 to 50 per cent.

Eco-designTo reduce the Life Cycle Costs and environmental impact of our pumps,we embraced Eco-Design more than half a decade ago. PCM Eco-Design lessens the environmental impact of our pumpingsolutions, by taking a Life Cycle Cost (LCC) approach to design,optimizing it at every stage, from suppliers and manufacturing throughto decommissioning. In doing so, we enable you to meet youroperational and environmental requirements at the same time.

Progressing cavity pumps: Unbeatable competitiveness

Ideal for fragile, abrasive and viscous fluids, PCMEcoMoineau™ progressing cavity pumps offer low Life CycleCosts, thanks to their low energy consumption, inherentreliability and high suction capabilities.

Peristaltic pumps: Easiest maintenance

The gentle pumping action of PCM peristaltic or hosepumps is adapted to shear sensitive fluids. Their simplicityand robustness also make them ideal for medium flow,medium pressure pumping of abrasive, fragile and corrosive

fluids. They are low cost and easy to maintain, because only the hose isin contact with the fluid.

Lobe pumps: smallest footprintIdeal for handling viscous and abrasive fluids, including highsolids content, PCM Ecolobe rubber-coated lobe pumpsfeature a design that eliminates the maintenance problemsthat commonly affect other industrial lobe pumps.

Maintenance can be performed in place without dismantling the piping.

Dosing pumps: High metering accuracy

When your applications require a high level of accuracy,reliability and economical efficiency, PCM dosing pumps arethe answer. Featuring rugged, simple design they offermaximum compatibility with most chemical reagents.

Built for Life

EnvironmentOne of the most important challenges

in environmental protection is the cost-effectivetreatment and handling of municipal and industrialwaste water. PCM pumps are used to handleindustrial and municipal waste water and sewage,dewater sludge, and meter chemical additives.

Case study: water treatment plant.

Challenge:Providing a reliable and economical solution onsludge transfer and polymer dosing.

PCM Solution:EcoMoineau progressing cavity pumps.

Results:On both applications, EcoMoineau pumps provedto be a long lasting choice requiring very limitedmaintenance.

Solid versatilityMature industries require pumps and pump systems capable ofhandling a wide range of tasks as cost-effectively as possible.Their ability to handle aggressive liquids and extreme operatingconditions are also a must.


13

Markets

Mechanical EngineeringLight and heavy industries require versatile pump

systems that can be easily integrated into their production chains,whether upstream during manufacturing or downstream during wasteprocessing. Pumps need to be reliable, robust and capable of handlinga wide range of emulsions, metal particles and corrosive materials.

Case study: surface treatment/spent bath emptying.

Challenge:Find a pump capable of handling a variety of corrosive products withparticles. Dry running and self priming functionalities. Easymaintenance and mobility would be a plus, as customer had negativeexperience with AOD (Air Operated Diaphragm) pumps whose valvesrequired frequent maintenance due to clogging.

PCM Solution:Delasco hose pump on a trolley with starter control panel was thenatural choice.

Results:Flexible, highly mobile solution improved productivity and reducedmaintenance requirements and costs.

ChemicalsProduct compatibility and versatility are what the

chemical industry looks for in pumps. Manufacturers of specialtychemicals in particular, require pumps capable of handling fluids withfragile composition and complex rheology.

Case study: detergent manufacturer.

Challenge:Mixing the ingredients and filling containers.

PCM Solution:Customized chemical dosing and filling system including Delascohose pumps. The hose pump versatility allows it to be used withvarious aggressive chemicals.

Results:Customer was pleased by the TCO (total cost of ownership) of thesystem, which requires low maintenance and low energy whileallowing accurate filling of various sizes of containers.


Built for Life

New EnergiesTo meet their promises of

sustainability, new energies must combineenvironmental responsibility with real-worldeconomics. To reach economically viableproduction levels, their industrial processes requirepump systems capable of handling a wide range offluids and solids accurately and reliably.

Case study: biodiesel unit.

Challenge:Customer needed to empty waste cooking oilfrom road tanker. This oil could include someabrasive particles. The pump had to fit in a smallspace and be easily serviceable.

PCM Solution:PCM installed an Ecolobe pump.

Results:The small footprint of this pump allowed it to fitin the allotted space. It has so far been workingmaintenance-free for over two years.

Constant productivityIn many industries, productivity rhymes with profitability. Theability to work non-stop in demanding operating conditions iswhat companies in these sectors expect from their pumps andpump systems.


15

Markets

MineralsAbrasiveness is number one challenge in the mineral

industry. Downtime caused by equipment failure can bring an entirequarry or production facility to a halt. Consequently, robustness, easeof maintenance and spare part delivery times are of the utmostimportance.

Case study: quarry operator.

Challenge:Sand was entering the pumps and damaging the rotors, whichrequired frequent maintenance.

PCM Solution:PCM developed a special abrasion-resistant rotor coating for itsprogressing cavity pumps.

Results:Rotor lifecycle extended from six to sixteen months.

PaperThe paper industry is one of the most demandingsectors in terms of productivity, water treatment and

dosing. Most production facilities operate non-stop, and any downtimecan be costly. In addition, paper and pulp plants use incrediblequantities of water, which they must manage and treat in accordancewith strict regulations.

Case study: paper plant with 30 PCM pumps installed in the 1980s.

Challenge:Reduce annual water consumption of 2,625 m3 per pump.

PCM Solution:We retrofitted each Moineau pump with a self-contained lubricationsystem that eliminated the use of water.

Results:Water consumption of pumps reduced to zero. Over 78,000 m3 ofwater saved annually.
