How Does a Plunger Pump Work?
Plunger pumps belong to the broader category of oscillating positive displacement pumps, which operate by displacing liquids through the reciprocating movement of internal components. The pump consists of a cylinder and a plunger moving up and down inside this cylinder. This plunger gives the pump its name. One advantage of plunger pumps is their ability to handle not only water but also other liquids such as oils.
The pumping process can be divided into two phases: the suction phase and the discharge phase. The fluid transport takes place as follows:
- Suction phase: The plunger moves downward and creates a vacuum inside the cylinder. This vacuum opens the inlet valve, allowing liquid to flow into the cylinders
- Discharge phase: Once the cylinder is filled, the plunger moves upward again, increasing the pressure. The outlet valves open and the liquid is directed into the discharge line.
- Oscillating motion: Suction and discharge cycles repeat continuously, producing a pulsating fluid stream.
The valves inside the plunger pump control fluid flow and prevent backflow. High-quality plunger pumps from KAMAT allow precise regulation of pressure and flow rate, enabling exact adjustment to operational requirements.
Plunger pump vs. piston pump: key differences
While both plunger pumps and piston pumps are types of positive displacement pumps, they differ significantly in design and performance. Plunger pumps are particularly suited for high-pressure industrial applications, whereas piston pumps are more common in processes with moderate requirements.

Innovative Plunger Pumps from KAMAT
As specialists in high-pressure technology, we manufacture our plunger pumps at our own facility in Witten, North Rhine-Westphalia. By working with regional suppliers, we remain largely independent of international supply chains. This ensures consistent availability of spare parts and upgrade components.
Our pump units are built on an innovative modular system, which simplifies installation, maintenance, and retrofitting. If you require additional performance for your high-pressure pump, a new pump head can typically be added with minimal effort. Our experts are available to guide you through the best configuration for your application.
