A plunger pump is a type of reciprocating pump that is distinguishable from a piston pump due to its fixed high-pressure seal and smooth cylindrical plunger that slides over the seal. Because of these features, a plunger pump can produce higher pressure than a piston pump and is therefore commonly used for high-pressure applications.
Piston and plunger pumps both utilize a chamber that expands and constricts to suck and pressurize the fluid. However, unlike piston pumps, the chamber of a plunger pump expands and constricts due to the reciprocating motion of the plunger (upward and downward; back and forth) instead of a circular (rotating) movement.
Plunger pumps are also known as high viscosity pumps, high-pressure pumps, or high-pressure pumps due to their ability to provide high pumping pressure. These pumps can also pump both solid and viscous media, making them ideal for pumping industrial and municipal wastewater.
The plunger pumps have a unique ability to generate higher pressures than their piston counterparts. This means that they are well-suited for pumping tasks that require higher pressure, such as those in the oil and gas industry and chemical processing plants.
One of the key advantages of plunger pumps is that they can maintain their performance even when the flow rate and pressure changes. This is because their design minimizes the impact of changes in these variables on the pump's overall performance. This makes them reliable and dependable for pumping tasks that require consistency and accuracy.
Another advantage of plunger pumps is their ability to pump difficult fluids such as slurries and abrasives. They are well-suited for pumping tasks that involve highly viscous fluids and heavy substances that might cause other types of pumps to malfunction or break down.
Lastly, plunger pumps have the added advantage of being self-priming. This means that they can automatically remove air from the intake line, which reduces the time and effort required to start the pump. This feature also makes them ideal for use in applications where the pump may need to be started and stopped frequently.

Plunger pumps are essential components in several industries as they provide high pressure to pump various fluids. Let’s take a closer look at some of the industries where plunger pumps play a vital role:
In the Oil & Gas industry, plunger pumps provide the high pressure required to pump fluids underground into oil wells. This makes them crucial in oil drilling processes.
Plunger pumps find their use in the Aerospace industry in hydraulic control systems where they deliver high hydraulic pressures needed to control various aircraft elements effectively.
Plunger pumps play a vital role in the Reverse Osmosis treatment of water where they provide high pressure to push water through the membrane, which purifies it.
Plunger pumps are highly effective in pumping primary sewage with large heads that are screened. However, it's essential to have inlet and outlet valves that can handle solids.
Mining involves abrasive fluids and those containing solids which makes it challenging to pump various streams. However, plunger pumps are well-suited to handle these fluids with the right valve design and plunger material.
The Power Generation industry requires high discharge pressure, which makes plunger pumps ideal for supplying water or chemicals into high-pressure steam drums.
As demonstrated above, plunger pumps are critical components in various industries, and their functionality helps in efficient operations in a range of applications.
