Positive displacement pump systems are used across industrial plants for controlled chemical transfer, dosing, and viscous media handling. Within our Industrial portfolio, John Morris Group supplies trusted solutions from Masterflex and Cole-Parmer, together with specialist options including Airmac and FUTUR for corrosive fluids, AODD transfer, and process-critical pumping duties.
Positive Displacement Pumps
Positive Displacement Pump Solutions For Chemical Transfer And Process Dosing
Our curated collection of Positive Displacement Pumps delivers high-capacity performance and operational flexibility for technical environments:
- Chemically resistant transfer: Utilise Airmac and Cole-Parmer AODD pump ranges with PTFE, polypropylene, or conductive housings for acids, solvents, wastewater streams, and aggressive plant chemicals.
- Stable flow for industrial dosing: A positive displacement pump is well suited to metering and transfer tasks where engineering teams need repeatable output despite pressure changes in process lines, dosing skids, and utility systems.
- Flexible plant integration: Masterflex and FUTUR configurations support AODD workflows in manufacturing, chemical batching, and treatment systems where low-shear pumping and maintenance access both matter.
How to Choose the Right Positive Displacement Pumps
Selecting the correct Positive Displacement Pumps for your facility requires evaluating several technical parameters:
- Material compatibility: Match housings, diaphragms, and seals to the process media, especially when handling corrosive chemicals, solvent blends, slurries, or conductive fluids.
- Flow rate and duty cycle: Confirm the required output, suction conditions, and run profile so the pump can support intermittent transfer, continuous dosing, or plant-wide service without premature wear.
- Air-operated and compliance needs: For AODD installations, review compressed air availability, hazardous-area considerations, and cleanability requirements before final specification.
Complete Your Fluid Handling Workflow With Related Pump Categories
Versatile equipment is essential for comprehensive facility management. To further optimise your workspace, we recommend exploring these related categories:
- Diaphragm pumps: Compare adjacent pump options when your application needs self-priming transfer, dry-run tolerance, or air-operated chemical handling.
- Gear pumps: Review alternative positive displacement technologies for oils, lubricants, and controlled transfer of more uniform viscous fluids.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a positive displacement pump work?
A positive displacement pump moves fluid by trapping a fixed volume and pushing it through the system each cycle. This makes it useful for dosing, viscous media transfer, and applications where more stable flow is needed under changing pressure conditions.
Is a peristaltic pump a positive displacement pump?
Yes, a peristaltic pump is a type of positive displacement pump because it moves a defined volume of fluid through a repeating mechanical action. Industrial buyers often compare it with diaphragm, gear, and rotary technologies depending on media type and process needs.
Can John Morris Group support bulk B2B supply and pump selection for industrial projects?
Yes. We support B2B projects with product selection, quotation support, and supply planning for positive displacement pumps, AODD systems, spare parts, and related process equipment across Australian manufacturing and treatment sites.
