How does a detergent dosing pump work?

Introduction to Detergent Dosing Pumps

Detergent dosing pumps are critical components in a variety of industrial and commercial cleaning applications. They ensure precise delivery of detergents and chemicals, optimizing the cleaning process, reducing waste, and improving cost efficiency.

Working Principle of Detergent Dosing Pumps

Detergent dosing pumps operate on a consistent volumetric flow rate mechanism, allowing precise dosing of liquid detergents. Most pumps utilize a diaphragm or piston mechanism, which draws detergent into a chamber on the suction stroke and expels it during the discharge stroke.

The accuracy of these pumps can be specified within ±1% of the set rate, ensuring minimal variation in the detergent volume delivered. This accuracy is maintained under varying pressure conditions, typically ranging from 1 to 8 bar in industrial applications.

Key Features and Specifications

Detergent dosing pumps are designed to withstand harsh chemicals and environments. Key features include:

• Flow rate control ranging from 0.1 L/h to 100 L/h
• Materials such as stainless steel or high-grade plastics for corrosion resistance
• Adjustable stroke lengths for precise control
• Integration capabilities with existing automation and monitoring systems

Installation and Maintenance

Installation of detergent dosing pumps requires attention to piping connections and alignment. Proper maintenance, including regular inspection of the diaphragm or piston and calibration of the pump, is essential for sustained performance.
