Dosing pumps

A range of dosing pumps by Moyno offers an efficient, reliable and low-maintenance solution for applications where low-flow, accurate dosing is required. The pump provides a smooth pumping action with no pulsation and very low shear. It is ideal for either intermittent or continuous dosing duties in high-pressure, low-flow applications and transfers low flows at high pressure (1,044 psi/72 bar). With no valve components, blockages are eliminated and the working pump life is extended. Stators are available in a variety of materials, and their flexible and resilient operating characteristics enable the pump to handle several applications.
