A progressive cavity (PC) pump is a positive displacement pump that facilitates accurate feeding of medium- to high-viscosity materials such as thermal pastes or gels. It ensures minimal waste of material, reducing the environmental impact of the manufacturing process. PC pumps also provide many operational advantages, including continuous flow (doesn’t require reload), constant volume at variable speeds, no pulsation, and low maintenance.
