The demands that oscillating-displacement pumps put on their materials of construction are extremely strict due to the constantly alternating stress to which these types of pumps are subjected. Through the years, the debate has raged: Is metal or plastic the best type of material to use in the construction of these pumps? For a long time, metal was the No. 1 choice, but recent advancements in solid-body plastic pump manufacture and operation have put them at the head of the class when it comes to oscillating applications.
These advantages are spelled out in a new white paper from Almatec®, Kamp-Linfort, Germany. Titled "A Solid Solution to Pump Selection," the white paper shows how only a pump with a solid plastic body can offer the operational characteristics that can maximize production and pump reliability in oscillating applications. Namely, only an oscillating pump with a solid-plastic body can guarantee the necessary weight for maximized operation, while the pump components can be crafted so that desired wall thicknesses are arranged where they are needed. Mechanical machining that utilizes computer numerical controlled (CNC) technology enables far greater pump tolerances to be achieved when compared to injection-molded plastic or steel pumps.
