Metering Pumps

Metering pumps & dosing systems.

Also called: dosing pump, chemical injection pump, controlled-volume pump, diaphragm metering pump.

Controlled-volume plunger and diaphragm metering pumps with a polar-crank mechanism, accurate to ±1%, from a few cc/hr to 15,000 l/hr.

UDAY metering pump
Flow
0.76 – 15,000 l/h (up to 15 m³/h · 66 US GPM)
Accuracy
±1%, adjustable 0–100% while running
Max. pressure (plunger head)
700 kg/cm² (686 bar · 9,956 psi)
Control
Manual, 3–15 psi pneumatic or 4–20 mA electric

Power end mechanism

Zero to full stroke, while it runs.

A precision-made high-speed worm drives a worm gear that rotates on an adjustable plane. Stroke length is set from zero to 100%, with the pump stopped or running, by micrometric knob or by pneumatic or electric actuator.

Zero stroke position
Zero stroke. The worm gear sits in the vertical plane, so the crank turns without moving the cross head or plunger.
Full or partial stroke position
Full or partial stroke. The worm gear is set off vertical, so the connecting rod drives the cross head and plunger. Motion stays near-harmonic at every stroke length.

Liquid heads

A head for every liquid.

Liquid head types: plunger single valve, plunger double valve, jacketed, double acting

Plunger type

Single or double valve assembly for general dosing.

Jacketed

Heated or cooled heads for liquids with high melting points.

Single diaphragm

For toxic liquids.

Double diaphragm

For highly toxic liquids, with an optional rupture alarm system.

Double acting

For large capacities.

Valves

Single and double ball, poppet with or without spring loading, and flat valves.

Diaphragm metering pumps

Hermetically sealed. Up to 385 kg/cm².

Hydraulically flexed diaphragm pumps for all gear sizes, from a few cc/hr to over 15,000 LPH. The plunger packing runs in clean hydraulic fluid, and a rugged diaphragm separates it from the metered liquid.

  • Hermetically sealed, with no leakage to atmosphere
  • Relief and replenishing valves in the hydraulic circuit
  • Better resistance to fouling
  • Long life from the PTFE diaphragm and gentle flow
  • Double and sandwich diaphragms with rupture detection

Automation & variations

Ready for your control room.

Pneumatic stroke control

Operated by a 3–15 psi air signal.

Electric stroke control

Operated by a 4–20 mA signal for remote control and automation.

Up to ten heads

Multiplex pumps of different type and capacity on a single prime mover.

Jacketed diaphragm heads

For liquids that must be heated or cooled.

Stainless steel diaphragms

For duties beyond PTFE.

Remote-head diaphragm pumps

Keep the drive away from the process.
