Chemical dosing pumps for industry
Precise, proportional dosing of additives in chemical sector processes
In the chemical sector, where hygiene is essential and the fluids handled are often aggressive, dosing precision and material resistance are indispensable requirements. Mixtron chemical dosing pumps, patented and certified, are ideal for this context: thanks to the high-quality materials used in their construction, they ensure resistance and safety even in the presence of aggressive chemical agents, with consistent, long-lasting performance across different industrial fields.
At the heart of these solutions is a hydraulic system for precise, constant dosing, installed directly on the water line, which creates a homogeneous solution that is always proportional to the incoming water volume, without using electrical power. The dosing pump uses the water's pressure and flow rate as its only driving force: if the flow changes, the dosage adjusts accordingly, ensuring high precision even at low flow rates. This is the feature that makes Mixtron dosing pumps suitable for applications that demand reliability and accurate control.
In construction terms, the range combines the lightness and flexibility of technopolymer with the robustness of anti-corrosion steel. The pumps are made from polypropylene (PP) and polyoxymethylene (POM), technical plastics selected to resist the majority of additives used across different sectors. When the dosed liquid is particularly aggressive, the durability of the dosing pump depends above all on the choice of seals. For a closer look at how our solutions are used in the sector, a dedicated page on the chemical industry is available.
The challenges of dosing chemical products
Dosing a chemical additive into water is never a neutral operation. In many industrial processes it is necessary to inject chemically aggressive substances into the flow, such as acids, alkaline and corrosive products, chlorine or surfactant-based detergents. These are liquids that, on prolonged contact, put a strain on the components of a dosing pump and therefore require a pump designed to last over time.
With an unsuitable pump, the risk is twofold. On one hand, the deterioration of materials, which leads to frequent replacement of the dosing pump: and every replacement means plant downtime and recurring costs. On the other hand, the loss of dosing consistency, which in a context where hygiene and safety are priorities can compromise process quality. This is why, when dosing aggressive products, the chemical resistance of the materials and the protection of the most delicate parts become selection criteria just as important as dosing precision itself.
Precision and resistance: two requirements to hold together
A chemical dosing pump must combine two qualities that rarely coexist. The first is the precision of proportional dosing, which guarantees a constant concentration regardless of flow variations. The second is a high chemical resistance of the materials and seals in contact with the additive. It is precisely the balance between these two factors that determines the reliability of a dosing solution in the chemical sector.
The features of a Mixtron chemical dosing pump
To meet the needs of chemical dosing, Mixtron dosing pumps combine hydraulic operation, resistant materials and proportional precision in a single system.
Operation without electrical power
The Mixtron dosing pump operates using the water's pressure and flow rate as its only driving force: once connected to the water line, it requires no electrical power to function. The dose of additive injected always remains proportional to the incoming water volume, producing a homogeneous solution and a constant concentration even when the flow rate varies. This ensures high precision even at low flow rates, a common condition in chemical dosing, where small quantities often need to be injected with the utmost accuracy.
Materials resistant to aggressive agents
The construction combines the lightness and flexibility of technopolymer with the robustness of anti-corrosion steel. The pumps are made from polypropylene (PP) and polyoxymethylene (POM), technical plastics selected to resist the majority of additives used across different sectors. It is precisely these high-quality materials that guarantee resistance and safety even in the presence of aggressive chemical agents, with consistent and long-lasting performance over time.
Seals: the detail that makes the difference
When the dosed liquid is particularly aggressive, the durability of the dosing pump depends above all on the choice of seals. For this reason Mixtron offers a dedicated range of seals, so that the pump configuration can be adapted to the chemical nature of the additive being handled and to protect the parts in contact with the fluid.
How to choose the right dosing pump for the chemical sector
There is no single model suitable for every chemical application: the ideal solution depends on the fluid to be dosed, the system's flow rate and the operating conditions. This is why the Mixtron dosing pumps range is designed to be adapted to application needs, and each pump can be customised with a wide range of options according to its context of use.
The first criterion remains the compatibility of the materials with the additive being handled: the PP and POM construction base guarantees resistance to the majority of additives, while the seal configuration is adjusted when the liquid is particularly aggressive. Alongside this comes the dosing precision required by the process, which guides the choice towards the most suitable dosing ratio.
