A valveless plunger pump that works with both strong acids and silicone oils.
Finally, a pump that's "not picky" about its components!
It has handled 46# machine oil, as well as alcohol, acetone, and hydrochloric acid.
It has metered 0.3g of glycerin in a single application and supported 24-hour continuous spraying of 500ml.
It is unaffected by the swelling of dichloromethane or the corrosion of 98% fuming nitric acid.
Part One: What Media Can It Measuring?
In the chemical, biopharmaceutical, electronic fluid injection, and fragrance industries, the real challenge is never "how high the flow
rate is," but rather:
"Can this pump handle my media?"
Let's start with the most troublesome:
🔥 Strong Acids, Strong Alkalis, Strong Corrosives
Hydrochloric acid (3%, 6%, any concentration)
Nitric acid (dilute nitric acid, 98% fuming nitric acid)
Sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, perchloric acid
Sodium hydroxide (alkaline solution, potassium carbonate solution)
Ammonia, sodium silicate solution
These liquids would render a conventional metal pump unusable within a day. But the wetted materials of valveless plunger
pumps—zirconia ceramic, sapphire, PTFE, fluororubber (FFKM)—allow them to be safely transported like water.
🧪 Organic Solvents (Those that "swell"): Xylene, Toluene, Acetone
Ethyl Acetate, Dichloromethane, Methanol, Ethanol
Ether Solvents, Chlorinated Solvents
Methyltrichlorosilane, Vinyl Hydrogen Silicone Oil
Many pumps are sensitive to solvents because their seals can expand, soften, and seize. However, the valveless plunger pump's valveless
structure and special sealing design make "swelling liquids" no longer a no-go zone.
🛢️ Oils (From Light to Heavy): 46# Engine Oil, 46# Hydraulic Oil
Diesel, Gasoline, Transformer Oil
Lubricating Oil, Drawing Oil, Damping Oil
White Oil, Silicone Oil, Dimethyl Silicone Oil
Vegetable Oil, Edible Oil, Coolant
Variations range from "like water" to "like edible oil," all compatible with a single pump body. No pump replacement is needed; simply
clean the pump to switch media.
💧 Water Types - Not All Waters Are the Same
Pure Water, Ultrapure Water, Deionized Water, Distilled Water
Deionized Water, Warm Water
Aqueous Solutions, Acid-Base Solutions
High-purity water delivery is most susceptible to metal ion precipitation. Ceramic pump bodies naturally prevent precipitation, meeting
electronic and pharmaceutical grade requirements.
🧴 Viscous, Gel-like, Easily Crystallizing
Glycerin, Syrup, Sugar Water
AB Glue, Anaerobic Glue, Adhesive
Gelatin Solution, Protein Solution, Dairy Product
Silica Sol, Rosin, Beeswax
Mosquito Repellent Liquid, Protein Solution
These liquids easily adhere to the pump walls, crystallize, and cause pump jamming. The valveless plunger pump's working principle
is naturally suitable—no valve clogging, precise dispensing of 0.3g/2 seconds per cycle.
🎨 Special Industries & Special Liquids
Inks, inks, colorants, fluorescent agents
Perfumes, spirits, nicotine
Hyaluronic acid, emulsions, pharmaceutical solutions
Electrolytes, curing agents, catalysts
Drag reducers, silicon tetrachloride, phosphorus trichloride
Even perfluorocopper (highly corrosive), dimethyl silicone oil + ethanol + n-hexane mixtures—as long as they are free of particles an
do not react with ceramics/PTFE, they can be stably transported.
Part Two: Not just "capable," but "accurate"
Media compatibility is only the first hurdle. In real industrial scenarios, precision and consistency are also crucial.
Demand Scenarios and Actual Performance of Valveless Plunger Pumps
Single Micro-volume Dispensing: Minimum single-volume displacement adjustable from 0-0.13cc, e.g., 0.3g/2 seconds per dispense)
Continuous Long-Term Spraying: 24-hour spraying up to 500ml, controllable temperature rise, no downtime
Viocity Switching: Water → Oil → Solvent; switching is possible after cleaning, no pump replacement required
Drip/Continuous/Metering: Supports drip dispensing, continuous spraying, and precision metering filling
Part Three: The Only "Boundary Condition"
Of course, no pump is perfect. Valveless plunger pumps also have three prerequisites:
No particles – particles will wear down the ceramic plunger
No curing – fast-curing AB glue won't work (it will solidify inside the pump)
No corrosion to ceramic/PTFE – except for hydrofluoric acid (HF)
As long as your medium meets these three conditions, regardless of whether it is:
As thin as water
As viscous as oil
As strong as acid
As "biting" at the seals as a solvent
The valveless plunger pump can handle it.
