Dosing Pump

A dosing pump is a kind of low-volume pump with controllable discharge rate which is used to inject additives to the mixing or pumping system. Dosing pumps are frequently used to pump fluids that are difficult to mix in batch-tank systems because of their low volume. This pump is usually made from plastic, thermoplastic, or stainless steel.

Uses and Features of Dosing Pumps:

• Important specifications for dosing pumps are inlet size, discharge size, maximum discharge flow, maximum discharge pressure, and media temperature.
  
  
• Power sources for dosing pumps include compressed air, gasoline, diesel fuel, natural gas, water, steam, hydraulic systems, solar energy, AC and DC.
  
  
• Manually powered dosing pumps rely upon hand or foot power.
  
  
• Dosing pumps are used to move abrasive materials, acids, adhesives, chemicals, concrete and grout, coolants, hazardous materials, liquid metal or lubricants.
  
  
• Other devices are rated for combustible, corrosive, high viscosity or high temperature media.
  
  
• Dosing pumps can move media either vertically or horizontally, depending on the direction of the pump stator and rotor assembly.
  
  
• These pumps are also used to move potable water, salt water, wastewater, sewage, sludge, gasoline, diesel fuel, and oil, ground water, ash slurry, gas and air, powders, solids, and a variety of liquids and liquids with solids.
