A Shock Absorber plunger allows more flow by eliminating downhole equipment restrictions. If a well's production is restricted by downhole equipment, pressure can drop and scale can build up. Our Shock Absorber Plunger eliminates downhole restrictions and improves flow.
A Shock Absorber Plunger has a built-in bumper spring, allowing it to run directly off the seating nipple or standing valve. The durable Viton® bumper spring will maintain its elasticity over time. It allows more flow by reducing downhole restrictions. This can decrease costs for chemical treatments and wirelines. You can choose a plunger with expandable pads or with a nylon brush section.

- Wells with only a seating nipple or standing valve
Advantages
- Does not require bottom hole bumper spring*
- Reduces costs for chemical treatments or wirelines
- Highly effective seal
