Piston Spray Pump
Piston spray pumps are positive displacement pumps designed to deliver fluids at high pressure for spraying applications. They provide precise flow control and are suitable for handling viscous liquids and fluids containing solid particles.
Overview
A piston spray pump is a type of positive displacement pump in which a piston moves back and forth inside a cylinder to draw in and discharge fluid. The reciprocating motion creates high pressure, making these pumps ideal for spraying and high-pressure transfer applications.
Operating Principle
During the suction stroke, the piston moves backward, creating an expanding cavity that draws fluid into the pump. During the discharge stroke, the piston moves forward, reducing the cavity volume and forcing the fluid out at high pressure.
