Dosing pump solution MSD Ltd: Dosing pumps are otherwise known as oscillating positive displacement pumps, which are designed to accurately dose viscose products into tube packaging at a highly accurate flow rate. Dosing pumps are used across a wide range of product manufacturing sectors, including food, pharmaceuticals, health and beauty, chemicals and adhesives.
Dosing pumps work by drawing a predetermined measurement of viscose product into the pump chamber and applying it to the tube-filling process. Dosing pumps are usually driven by electric motors or air actuators that control the pump by turning it off and on, therefore managing an accurate and stable product flow.
Most dosing pumps are used in tube filling machines to ensure just the right amount of product fills the plastic tubes without causing any overflow or product spillage, which can be wasteful and ruin the look and performance of your tube packaging.
This is especially important because overfilling plastic tubes may result in the tube sealing process failing and, ultimately, your product needing to be recalled and scrapped. Spills and drips on the tube exterior can also be unhygienic and look unattractive, which is a significant concern if your plastic tube packaging is part of your product display.
