Plunger Type Dosing Pump

The pump operates by moving a plunger in and out of a cylinder. When the plunger retracts, fluid is drawn into the cylinder through a suction valve. When the plunger moves forward, it displaces the fluid out through a discharge valve, creating a controlled flow.

Plunger Pumps are used in various industries, including water and wastewater treatment, oil and gas, chemical processing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture for tasks such as chemical dosing, high-pressure cleaning, and hydraulic fracturing.

High pressure capabilities, precise flow control, robustness and durability, suitability for a wide range of fluids, and high efficiency in transferring fluids.

Plunger Pumps can handle a variety of fluids, including water, oils, chemicals, slurries, and abrasive or viscous substances, depending on the materials used in the pump’s construction.

Common materials include stainless steel, brass, PVC, PTFE, and other corrosion-resistant materials, chosen based on the fluid being pumped and the operating conditions.

The flow rate can be adjusted by changing the stroke length of the plunger, adjusting the pump speed, or using control systems for automatic adjustments based on process requirements.

Regular maintenance includes checking and replacing worn seals and plungers, inspecting valves and fittings, ensuring proper lubrication, and cleaning components to prevent clogs and buildup.

Common issues include leakage, wear of seals and plungers, and clogging. These can be resolved through regular maintenance, timely replacement of worn parts, and ensuring the pump is operated within its specified parameters.

Yes, Plunger Pumps are especially well-suited for high-pressure applications, capable of handling pressures up to several hundred bars.

Plunger Pumps typically offer higher pressure capabilities and are better suited for handling viscous or abrasive fluids. Diaphragm pumps are often preferred for leak-free operation and handling corrosive fluids without contamination.

Yes, many Plunger Pumps can be integrated with automated control systems for precise dosing, remote monitoring, and real-time adjustments based on process conditions.

Considerations include the type of fluid, required flow rate and pressure, chemical compatibility, operating environment, and specific application needs.

Plunger Pumps can be purchased from industrial equipment suppliers, specialized pump manufacturers, and online retailers. Choosing a reputable supplier ensures quality and support.

• The lifespan varies based on the quality of the pump, the nature of the fluids pumped, and maintenance practices. With proper care, a high-quality Plunger Pump can last for many years.

Ensure proper installation and maintenance, use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), handle chemicals safely, and follow manufacturer guidelines to prevent accidents and ensure safe operation.
