Agriculture
In agriculture, ROTOMAC progressive cavity pumps are chiefly used across two areas: foodstuff handling and biogas production. Correctly specified pumping solutions protect the health of farm animals when transferring and dispensing foodstuff — while fermenting biogenic material into biogas is an increasingly important part of the agricultural value chain.

Two Duties, One Pump Principle
In agriculture, ROTOMAC progressive cavity pumps are chiefly used across two areas: foodstuff handling and biogas production. Both involve media that a centrifugal pump struggles with — thick, fibrous, solid-laden and often abrasive — and both depend on gentle, steady, accurately controlled flow.
Correctly specified pumping solutions protect the health of farm animals when transferring and dispensing foodstuff. And fermenting biogenic material into biogas — used as fertiliser or to generate energy — is an increasingly important part of the agricultural value chain.
Why the progressive cavity principle suits the farm. Flow is proportional to speed and displacement is fixed per revolution, so dosing stays accurate. Shear is low, so feed and digestate are not broken down. And solids pass through rather than blocking, which is what farm media demands.
Two Areas On Every Holding
From the feed store to the digester — the same pump technology, specified differently for each duty.
Foodstuff Handling
Transferring and dispensing animal foodstuff is a hygiene-critical duty. Get the pump specification wrong and you risk contamination, inconsistent rations and product degradation — all of which show up directly in animal health.
- Transfer and dispensing of liquid and viscous feed
- Low-shear handling that preserves feed structure
- Accurate, repeatable ration dosing
- Food-grade wetted parts and cleanable design
Biogas Production
Fermenting biogenic material into biogas — used as fertiliser or to generate energy — is an increasingly important part of the agricultural value chain, and one that puts pumps in contact with the most demanding media on the farm.
- Feeding substrate and slurry into the digester
- Handling fibrous, solid-laden and abrasive media
- Digestate transfer for use as fertiliser
- Optional combined pump and macerating unit
Tailor-Made Conveying Solutions
ROTOMAC offers tailor-made conveying solutions across a wide range of wetted-part materials to deliver the right pump for every application.
Wide Range of Wetted-Part Materials
Rotor, stator and housing materials are selected against the actual media — abrasive, corrosive or food-contact — rather than fitted from a fixed catalogue.
Combined Pump & Macerating Unit
For biogas plants we can configure a combined pump and macerating unit that grinds waste ahead of the digester — protecting the pump and improving fermentation.
The Right Pump For Every Application
Hopper-fed, hygienic, immersible or compact transfer — the range covers every duty on the holding, sized and configured to the job in front of it.
Pump Ranges For Agriculture
The ranges most often specified for this sector. Send us your duty and our engineers will confirm the model.
S Range
Robust all-round progressive cavity pumps conveying low to highly viscous products, with or without solids.
W Range
Open hopper pumps with integrated auger feed for highly viscous, semi-solid and non-flowable products.
Specifying A Pump For Your Holding?
Tell us the media, the solids content, the flow rate and whether it is feed or digester duty — our engineers will configure the right pump, materials and macerating option.
