4.3 Structure of the dosing pump 4.3.1 General Overview 4.1 Properties The MEMDOS LB is a classic motor-driven diaphragm dosing pump used when a control is not required to achieve constant dosing. They are characterized by the following properties: Suitable for accurate mixing tasks.
Motor-driven diaphragm dosing pump MEMDOS LB Operating instructions If the dosing pump is in the suction stroke phase, the diaphragm is pulled into the rear final position. Due to the resulting vacuum in the dosing head, the pressure valve closes, the suction valve opens and dosing me- dium flows from the suction line into the dosing head.
Please note that some of this data only represents guide values. The actual capacity of a dosing pump depends on various factors. For approximate val- ues of the delivery capacity at different pressures, refer to chapter “MEMDOS LB 1010” on page 39.
