    Plunger pumps, a type of positive displacement pump, work by expanding and contracting a cavity in a cylindrical chamber using a plunger rod. As the rod contracts the cavity, fluid is expelled through a discharge valve. The rod is then backed off of the cavity, closing the discharge valve and opening an inlet valve, which floods the cavity with fluid again.

    CAT PUMPS® offers several different designs of plunger pump, all of which share the same basic concept. A direct flow pump, described above, a flushing port pump, which adds an inlet and outlet valve to move a flushing liquid through the pump, and a "Superflow" pump that includes a flow-through ceramic plunger.
