The primary purpose is to maintain hygiene and cleanliness within mill operations by controlling the dosing of sanitizing chemicals or agents. This helps prevent microbial growth, contamination, and ensures compliance with hygiene standards.

These pumps typically use a metering or dosing mechanism to precisely inject sanitizing chemicals, such as chlorine-based solutions or other disinfectants, into water systems or process lines at predetermined rates and concentrations.

Benefits include:
o Effective control of microbial contamination in water used for industrial processes.
o Compliance with hygiene regulations and standards in food processing industries.
o Prevention of biofilm formation and scale buildup in equipment and pipelines.
o Enhanced product quality and safety by reducing the risk of microbial contamination.

They are used in various industrial applications including:
o Sanitation of processing equipment in food and beverage industries (e.g., sugar mills, dairy plants).
o Disinfection of water systems, cooling towers, and washdown areas.
o Maintenance of cleanliness in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.

Factors include:
o Compatibility with sanitizing agents and chemicals used in the application.
o Flow rate and pressure requirements for effective dosing.
o Material compatibility to withstand corrosive chemicals.
o Accuracy and reliability of dosing control.
o Ease of maintenance and integration into existing systems.

Dosage is determined based on water quality analysis, target disinfection levels, and specific process requirements. It is essential to follow manufacturer recommendations and conduct regular calibration checks for accurate dosing.

Maintenance tasks typically include:
o Routine inspection for leaks, wear, and chemical compatibility issues.
o Cleaning or replacing valves, seals, and tubing as needed.
o Calibration and adjustment of dosing settings.
o Lubrication of moving parts and electrical components.

Yes, these pumps can be equipped with automated dosing controllers or integrated into PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems for precise control and monitoring of dosing parameters.

These pumps are available from specialized pump manufacturers, water treatment equipment suppliers, and industrial distributors with expertise in sanitation and hygiene applications.

They contribute by ensuring consistent sanitation standards, reducing downtime due to equipment cleaning, minimizing microbial risks, and supporting compliance with regulatory requirements.
