Dosing pumps for disinfection and sanitation
Precise dosing of disinfectants and sanitisers for industrial and civil applications
Disinfection and sanitation of environments, surfaces and water networks are processes in which dosing precision is a critical requirement. An insufficient concentration of disinfectant compromises the effectiveness of the treatment, whilst overdosing generates product waste, risks for operators and potential regulatory compliance issues. In both cases, the quality of the dosing pump is the determining factor in process control.
Mixtron manufactures dosing pumps for disinfection designed for the proportional and volumetric dosing of chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid and other disinfecting agents, guaranteeing a consistent and uniform concentration regardless of variations in flow rate or pressure within the water network. The range is manufactured with materials compatible with the principal disinfectants used in industrial and civil applications, ensuring long-term reliability even in the presence of chemically aggressive substances.
Technical features of dosing pumps for disinfection
Mixtron dosing pumps for disinfection and sanitation are designed to meet the specific requirements of sanitation processes, where chemical resistance of materials, dosing stability and operational continuity are non-negotiable requirements.
Resistance to degradation from chlorine and hypochlorite
Chlorine and sodium hypochlorite are among the most widely used disinfectants in industrial and civil applications, but also among the most aggressive towards common materials. Mixtron dosing pumps are constructed with components specifically selected to resist the oxidative degradation induced by these agents, guaranteeing hydraulic integrity and dosing precision even after prolonged operating cycles at high concentration.
Stable dosing in the presence of pressure variations
In water network disinfection systems, pressure variations are frequent and can significantly alter the concentration of disinfectant delivered. Mixtron dosing pumps maintain a constant ratio between water volume and disinfectant volume regardless of network pressure fluctuations, eliminating concentration peaks that could prove harmful to end users or to treated surfaces.
Compatibility with multiple disinfectant types
Unlike many market solutions designed for a single chemical agent, Mixtron dosing pumps are compatible with a broad spectrum of disinfectants: chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid and quaternary ammonium-based solutions. This versatility allows the same dosing system to be used for different treatments, adapting the choice of disinfectant to the specific requirements of the process without the need to replace the pump.
Operational safety in chemically critical environments
The complete absence of electrical components in Mixtron dosing pumps eliminates the risks of short circuits, overheating and ignition in humid environments or those with chemical vapours present. This characteristic is particularly relevant in the technical rooms of water treatment plants, in disinfectant solution preparation areas and in storage areas for concentrated chemical products.
Applications of dosing pumps for disinfection and sanitation
Mixtron dosing pumps for disinfection are used in all contexts where a disinfecting agent must be introduced in an automatic, proportional and continuous manner, eliminating the variability associated with manual dosing and ensuring compliance with applicable sector regulations.
Disinfection of civil and industrial water networks
In water distribution networks, maintaining a residual chlorine concentration in accordance with regulatory limits is a legal obligation and a public health safety requirement. Mixtron dosing pumps allow sodium hypochlorite or other disinfectants to be introduced directly into the network in constant proportion to flow, guaranteeing uniform coverage across the entire distribution system without localised concentration peaks.
Sanitation in the food and beverage industry
In the food industry, the sanitation of surfaces, equipment and process lines is a fundamental requirement for the safety of the finished product. Mixtron dosing pumps are used for the controlled dosing of detergents, disinfectants and sanitising agents in washing solutions, ensuring the correct concentration of active ingredient in every sanitation cycle.
Disinfection in livestock and animal husbandry
In livestock farming, periodic disinfection of drinking water lines is essential to prevent the formation of bacterial biofilm and to guarantee the microbiological quality of the water administered to animals. Mixtron dosing pumps allow disinfectants and sanitisers to be dosed directly into the pipework, simplifying cleaning operations and reducing system downtime between production cycles.
Water treatment and potabilisation
In water treatment and potabilisation systems, Mixtron dosing pumps are used for the dosing of chlorine and other oxidising agents across the various stages of the process, from pre-chlorination through to final disinfection. The stability of proportional dosing ensures compliance with the microbiological parameters required by current regulations for water intended for human consumption.
Nebulisation of disinfectants in industrial environments
In industrial contexts requiring environmental disinfection by nebulisation, such as warehouses, cold stores and high microbiological risk production environments, Mixtron dosing pumps supply misting systems whilst guaranteeing a consistent concentration of disinfectant in the delivered solution.
Request a consultation for Mixtron disinfection dosing pumps
The choice of the most suitable dosing pump for a disinfection process depends on specific variables: type and concentration of disinfectant, water network flow rate, frequency of treatment cycles and applicable regulatory requirements for the sector in question. The Mixtron technical team is available to assess the operating characteristics of your system and identify the most effective dosing solution, with the option of bespoke engineering modifications upon request.
