A dosing pump is a type of pump used to accurately dispense a precise amount of fluid or chemical into a system or process. Dosing pumps are commonly used in industrial, commercial, and laboratory settings where precise control over the amount of fluid or chemical being added is required.
The key features of a dosing pump include:
Pump head: The pump head is the component of the dosing pump that contains the mechanism for dispensing the fluid or chemical. The design of the pump head varies depending on the type and viscosity of the fluid or chemical being dispensed.
Motor: The motor is the component that drives the pump head. Dosing pumps typically use an electric motor that is designed to operate continuously for extended periods.
Control panel: The control panel is used to set and adjust the flow rate and dosage of the dosing pump. Some dosing pumps have advanced features, such as digital displays and programmable dosing schedules.
Check valve: A check valve is installed in the discharge line to prevent backflow and ensure accurate dosing.
Tubing: Tubing is used to connect the dosing pump to the system or process being dosed. The tubing should be selected based on the type and viscosity of the fluid or chemical being dispensed.
