A plunger pump is a type of reciprocating pump that utilizes a fixed high-pressure seal and a smooth cylindrical plunger that slides over the seal. This design sets it apart from piston pumps. The plunger pump is capable of producing higher pressure than a piston pump and is thus suitable for high-pressure applications.
Piston and plunger pumps employ a chamber that expands and constricts to draw in and pressurize the fluid. Since these are reciprocating pumps, the chamber expands and constricts due to the reciprocating motion of the plunger – an up and down and back and forth motion – rather than a circular rotation.
Plunger pumps are also known as high viscosity pumps or high-pressure pumps due to their ability to provide exceptionally high pumping pressure. These pumps are capable of pumping solid and viscous media, making them useful for pumping industrial and municipal wastewater.
In comparison to piston pumps, plunger pumps are able to generate more pressure. The design of a plunger pump allows it to exert greater force, resulting in a higher pressure output.
The performance of plunger pumps is not heavily impacted by changes in flow rate and pressure. This means that plunger pumps are able to maintain consistent performance even when operating in conditions that are subject to fluctuations in pressure or flow rate.
One of the key benefits of plunger pumps is that they have the capability to pump abrasive and slurry fluids. These types of fluids would cause significant wear and tear on other types of pumps, but the robust design of plunger pumps makes them well-suited to handle these difficult materials.
In addition to their ability to pump abrasive and slurry fluids, plunger pumps are also capable of moving high-viscosity fluids and heavy substances. This versatility makes them an ideal choice for a wide range of applications and industries.
Another advantage of plunger pumps is their self-priming ability. This means that they are able to automatically prime themselves without the need for external assistance. This is particularly useful in situations where the pump needs to be restarted after it has been shut off, or when it has to cope with air pockets or other potential obstructions in the fluid being pumped.

Plunger pumps are incredibly essential in various industries that require high-pressure pumping. These industries include
The oil & gas industry extensively uses plunger pumps. These pumps provide high pressure to pump various fluids underground into oil wells. As a result, plunger pumps are widely used in oil drilling operations.
Plunger pumps are used in the aerospace industry to power hydraulic control systems that provide high hydraulic pressures essential for controlling various aircraft elements.
The reverse osmosis treatment of water requires high pressure to force the water through the membrane to purify it. Plunger pumps are a vital piece of equipment in water treatment plants, specifically designed for this process.
A plunger pump is incredibly useful when screened raw or primary sewage needs pumping and large heads are required. The inlet and outlet valves must be suitable for handling solids.
Mining involves many streams that contain solids or are abrasive, making them challenging to pump. Plunger pumps, paired with the right valve design and plunger material, can handle these abrasive fluids with ease.
The power generation industry requires high discharge pressure to supply water or chemicals into high-pressure steam drums. Plunger pumps can provide this necessary pressure, making them highly valuable in this industry.
