Plunger pumps are high-pressure pumps which are used in many industries such as oil & gas for cleaning purpose. These are also used in chemical and pharmaceutical industry for process technology. The two main components of plunger pumps include power end and liquid end. The power end contains the mechanism to operate the plunger and the liquid end controls the pressure of the liquid. Seals are an essential part of plunger pumps which separates the power fluid from the media that is being pumped. Plunger Pumps are the special version of piston pumps and it does not reach the cylinder wall. Plunger pumps has a fixed seal in the stuffing box and it does not move with the piston. Plunger pumps finds its application in those industries where liquid needs to be pumped at high pressure and are majorly used to transfer industrial and municipal sewage. Few of the typical applications of plunger pumps are cleaning applications, pressure testing, urea production, surface preparation, and oil & gas production.
