Frequently Asked Questions

Peristaltic pumps are positive displacement pumps that move fluid by rotating rollers that compress a flexible tube, pushing liquid forward in a motion similar to natural peristalsis. As the tube is squeezed and released, the pump creates both discharge and suction, allowing for accurate, self-priming flow. Because the fluid only contacts the tubing, peristaltic pumps prevent contamination and can safely handle abrasive, corrosive, or shear-sensitive fluids. These features make them ideal for applications in chemical processing, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and medical systems.

LMI metering pumps are used to precisely dose chemicals and liquids across industries such as water and wastewater treatment, industrial processing, oil and gas, agriculture, food and beverage, power generation, and manufacturing. They accurately handle a wide range of chemicals—including acids, biocides, polymers, and high-viscosity fluids—for applications like disinfection, pH control, scale and corrosion inhibition, and flocculation. By delivering controlled, repeatable chemical injection, LMI pumps help improve process efficiency, system reliability, and operational safety.

LMI metering pumps are manufactured by Ingersoll Rand.

LMI metering pumps are widely regarded as an industry standard for water treatment and chemical dosing due to their accuracy, reliability, and durable design. They offer a range of pump types, including peristaltic and diaphragm models, to handle different chemicals, flow rates, and application requirements. Advanced control features support automation, process monitoring, and consistent performance, while newer designs emphasize ease of maintenance. Overall, LMI pumps are a strong choice when properly matched to the application, especially for demanding or precision dosing needs.

Choosing the right LMI metering pump starts with clearly defining your application requirements, including the chemical’s viscosity, corrosiveness, temperature, required flow rate, system pressure, and the level of dosing accuracy or control needed. These factors guide the selection of the appropriate LMI pump type—such as solenoid for general dosing, stepper-driven models for high precision, or peristaltic pumps for versatility and easy maintenance—along with compatible wetted materials like PVC, PVDF, or stainless steel. For best accuracy and long service life, the pump should be sized to operate between 10% and 90% of its maximum capacity and include the necessary control options, such as manual adjustment, 4–20 mA input, or pH/ORP control.
