principle of operation
Metering pumps are positive displacement pumps which is designed to pump at constant flow rates against a wide range of discharge pressure, including high discharge pressures of tens of bar. When the cam moves backward, a vacuum is created. An exactly defined volume of liquid is drawn into the displacement body on the reciprocal stroke and forced into the dosing line on the compression stroke.
The advantage of these types of pumps lie in that outside influences does not change volume set to be dosed. Thus having varying pressures and varying mainline flows, does not influence the set dosed volume.
ACCURACy and simplicity in function

Find the right pump type with these steps:
Specify end-result required by using dosing pump
Specify product to be dosed
Specify sg of product
Specify volume of product to be dosed
Specify pump capacity in litres per hour [l/h]
Specify back pressure in bar
Find the intersection of these two values and select the pump model closest
Specify power supply
If pump capacity is unknown, our experts would be able to determine capacity according to product requirement needs per unit of dosage.
