In modern process industries such as water treatment, petrochemical refining, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemical production, accurate chemical dosing is a critical control parameter. Even slight deviations in injection rates can directly affect reaction efficiency, product quality, regulatory compliance, and equipment lifespan.

To address these demanding requirements, the PR Series Metering Pump is engineered to deliver stable and precise chemical injection performance under varying operating conditions.

Developed by Flowell (Shanghai) Industrial, the PR Series integrates mechanical precision design with industrial-grade durability, ensuring reliable dosing performance across a wide range of process applications.

Variable Eccentric Drive: The Core Engineering Principle

At the center of the PR Series Metering Pump is a variable eccentric drive mechanism, designed to provide controlled displacement with high mechanical stability.

Unlike fixed-stroke pumping systems, this structure allows stroke adjustment by changing the eccentric position of the drive shaft. This results in:

• Precise and fine stroke length control
• Smooth and stable mechanical movement
• Reduced pulsation fluctuations
• Improved long-term operational durability

By adjusting eccentric offset rather than motor speed, the system modifies output volume per stroke while maintaining consistent rotational performance.

This mechanical approach ensures reliable dosing accuracy across a broad operational range.

High-Precision Flow Control: ±1% Steady-State Accuracy

One of the key performance characteristics of the PR Series is its ability to maintain ±1% steady-state accuracy from 10% to 100% of nominal flow capacity.

This level of precision is achieved through:

• High-precision machining of internal components
• Optimized check valve structure
• Controlled plunger or diaphragm motion
• Stable alignment of drive assemblies

Such accuracy is essential in applications where dosing errors can have significant consequences, including:

• Chlorine dosing in water treatment systems
• Catalyst injection in petrochemical processes
• pH adjustment systems
• Polymer and flocculant dosing
• Corrosion inhibitor injection

In these environments, over-dosing increases operational cost and environmental impact, while under-dosing reduces process efficiency.

Wide Industrial Compatibility

The PR Series Metering Pump is designed to handle a wide range of chemical media, including:

• Corrosive acids and alkalis
• Oxidizing agents
• Flocculants and coagulants
• High-viscosity polymers
• Specialty chemical additives and solvents

Depending on process requirements, wetted parts can be configured using:

• Stainless steel
• Engineering plastics
• Specialized corrosion-resistant alloys

This ensures compatibility with diverse industrial environments while maintaining system integrity.

Flexible Flow Adjustment and Operational Range

A key advantage of the PR Series is its wide turndown ratio, operating efficiently from 10% to 100% of rated capacity.

This enables operators to:

• Adjust dosing in real time based on process demand
• Scale production without replacing equipment
• Optimize chemical consumption efficiency
• Maintain stable operation under changing system conditions

Unlike purely electronic flow control systems, the PR Series relies on mechanical stroke adjustment, ensuring volumetric consistency even in unstable electrical or environmental conditions.

Durability and Maintenance Efficiency

Industrial metering systems must operate continuously under demanding conditions. The PR Series is built with durability as a core design principle:

• Reinforced drive housing structure
• Balanced eccentric load distribution
• Long-life bearing systems
• High-performance sealing components

The variable eccentric mechanism also reduces internal stress concentration, helping to minimize wear and extend service life.

In addition, the pump is designed for easy maintenance access, allowing routine servicing with minimal downtime—an important factor for continuous process industries.
