Plunger Pumps

Discover our versatile plunger pumps that meet the highest quality standards. KAMAT produces powerful plunger pumps for demanding applications. Trust the experts in high-pressure technology since almost 50 years.

Plunger pumps fall into the general category of oscillating displacement pumps, in which a displacement of liquids takes place via an oscillating movement of the pump components. A plunger pump consists of a cylinder and a piston, which moves up and down in the cylinder. The piston is also referred to as a plunger, which gives the plunger pump its name. One advantage of plunger pumps is that they can be used to pump not only water but also other liquids such as oils.

The pumping process can be divided into two phases: the suction phase and the delivery phase. The pumping of the liquid proceeds as follows:

1. Suction phase: The plunger moves downwards and thus creates a negative pressure in the cylinder. This negative pressure opens the inlet valve and the liquid enters the cylinder.
2. Delivery phase: The cylinder has filled with liquid. The plunger then moves upwards again, which in turn increases the pressure in the cylinder to the outside. The exhaust valves open and the liquid in the cylinder is directed into the pressure pipe.
3. Oscillating movement: The suction and delivery phases repeat continuously. This creates a pulsating flow of liquid.

The valves in the plunger pump control the flow of liquid and prevent backflow. High-quality plunger pumps, such as those from KAMAT, allow precise regulation of the delivery pressure in the pump. This allows the flow rate to be adjusted to individual requirements.

Plunger pumps are an excellent choice for numerous industrial applications due to their robust design and high efficiency. Their versatility and reliability make them indispensable in many areas.

Advantages:

• High efficiency: plunger pumps offer precise and consistent flow rates.
• Durability: Robust materials and high-quality construction ensure a long service life.
• Ease of maintenance: Easy access to components facilitates maintenance.
• Adaptability: Can be flexibly adapted to different pressure and flow rate requirements.
• Versatility: Can be used in various industries such as cleaning, hydraulic systems and the chemical industry.

As experts in high-pressure technology, we manufacture our plunger pumps in our own factory in Witten in Germany. We rely on suppliers from the surrounding area, which makes us almost independent of foreign suppliers. Not only because of our regional partnerships can you always rely on a high availability of spare parts or components for retrofitting. Our pump units are based on an innovative modular system. This not only enables easy installation of your pump, but also uncomplicated maintenance and retrofitting. You want even more power for your high-pressure pump? A new pump head can be easily retrofitted in most cases. Let our experts advise you now.
