Overview

Dosing pump for chemicals

Jams delivers high-precision plunger metering pumps for demanding industrial duty in Pakistan. When corrosive, hazardous, or high-viscosity chemicals must be injected at high pressure, plunger technology provides the accuracy and durability plant teams rely on.

A plunger metering pump is a positive displacement pump that moves a precise volume with each stroke. It is the preferred choice for high-pressure chemical feed, accurate metering, and continuous or intermittent dosing where discharge pressure exceeds typical diaphragm limits.

Product description

Capability, accuracy, duty class, and how this product fits your process.

Why choose a plunger metering pump

In oil and gas, petrochemicals, and power generation, you need a pump that holds constant flow against extreme discharge pressure. Plunger pumps are built for that duty.

They deliver high-pressure capability often far above standard diaphragm pumps, volumetric accuracy better than +/- 1%, robust SS316 and specialty liquid ends for abrasive or harsh cycles, and a linear flow curve proportional to stroke length even when system pressure fluctuates.

How plunger metering pumps work

A motor drive moves the plunger back and forth. On the suction stroke the plunger retracts, opens the suction valve, and draws fluid into the chamber. On the discharge stroke the plunger advances, closes suction, opens discharge, and pushes fluid into the process line.

Stroke length or stroke frequency (via VFD) sets the dose with fine control. That precision matters for boiler feed treatment, where scale inhibitors or oxygen scavengers must inject against high boiler pressures.

Key features of Jams plunger pumps

Manual micrometer stroke adjustment or automated electric actuators (4-20 mA) support both operator and PLC control. Advanced PTFE/graphite gland packing helps keep aggressive media contained. Designs align with rigorous positive-displacement standards, and liquid ends are customizable for chemical compatibility.

Chemical injection for Pakistani industries

From wastewater treatment in Karachi to textile plants in Faisalabad and Lahore, exact chemical addition protects product quality and compliance. Over-dosing wastes chemical and risks contamination; under-dosing fails the process. A correctly specified dosing pump removes that guesswork.

Water treatment uses include chlorination, pH adjustment with acids or caustic, and polymer/alum flocculation. Textiles need precise dyes, bleach, peroxide, and stabilizers. Oil and gas rely on corrosion inhibitors, methanol injection, and demulsifiers. Food and beverage use sanitary dosing for additives and CIP chemicals.

Choosing the right dosing pump

Selection depends on viscosity, corrosiveness, flow rate, and pressure. Solenoid pumps suit smaller low-pressure duties; motor-driven plunger and diaphragm units fit higher capacity and continuous industrial service. Wetted parts in PVDF, PVC, PP, SS316, or Hastelloy must match your chemical. Modern plants also link pumps to pH controllers, flow meters such as VX 570 or VA 500, and PLC closed-loop control.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the main difference between a plunger metering pump and a diaphragm pump?

A plunger pump uses a direct-acting plunger and handles significantly higher discharge pressures, ideal for boiler feeding or oil and gas injection. A diaphragm pump uses a flexible membrane and suits leak-free hazardous fluid handling at lower to medium pressures.

Can your chemical dosing pumps handle corrosive or abrasive fluids?

Yes. Wetted parts can be specified in SS316, PVDF, PVC, or Hastelloy to match sulfuric acid, caustic soda, chlorine, and other aggressive media.

Do you provide installation support and spare parts in Pakistan?

Yes. Jams provides after-sales support, installation guidance, troubleshooting, and essential spares from Lahore and Karachi.

How do I control the flow rate of the dosing pump?

Adjust manually with a micrometer dial, or use VFD / electric actuators on a 4-20 mA signal for remote PLC or SCADA control.

How do I select the right capacity (LPH)?

Size so normal operating flow sits between about 30% and 80% of maximum capacity. Share dosage rate and system pressure and our team will recommend the model.

What maintenance keeps plunger dosing pumps reliable?

Regular calibration, suction-line strainers and foot valves, and gearbox oil changes on motor-driven units keep metering accurate and extend service life.
