Dosing Device FAQ
What maintenance does a dosing device require?
Regular maintenance includes monthly calibration checks, quarterly seal inspections, and annual motor servicing. Clean all contact surfaces weekly with approved cleaning solutions. For optimal performance, replace wear components like O-rings and gaskets per the manufacturer's schedule.
How do I select the right dosing device for my application?
Consider these factors: required flow rate, material viscosity, operating temperature, chemical compatibility, and required accuracy. Our DD-100 suits low-volume applications, while the DD-300 handles high-capacity needs. For abrasive materials, specify hardened components.
Can dosing devices handle corrosive chemicals?
Yes, when properly configured. Specify 316L stainless steel or PTFE-lined components for aggressive chemicals. Our optional ceramic pumps withstand highly corrosive media. Always verify material compatibility charts for your specific chemicals before operation.
Performance Data
| Viscosity Range | Repeatability | Response Time | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|

Dosing Device FAQ Continued
What's the maximum particle size the dosing device can handle?
The standard configuration handles particles up to 1mm diameter. For larger particles up to 5mm, we offer models with enlarged flow paths and reinforced components. Always screen materials to remove oversized particles that could cause blockages.
How does temperature affect dosing accuracy?
Temperature variations of more than ±10°C from calibration conditions may require compensation. Our devices with temperature sensors automatically adjust for thermal expansion effects. For critical applications, consider our temperature-controlled models.
What backup options exist during power failures?
We offer uninterruptible power supply (UPS) options that maintain operation for up to 30 minutes. Alternatively, manual override capability allows basic functionality. For critical processes, redundant dosing devices can be installed in parallel configurations.
