Abstract: For the purpose of dispensing viscous concentrates, particularly or organic ubstances, a cylindrical pumping space is defined by a hollow cylindrical body and two non-return valves associated with the ends of said body, said pumping space being supported in a radial direction at least during each pumping stroke in such a way that changes in volume are only possible in an axial direction in relation to said pumping space. The metering accuracy capable of being attained by means of the device of the invention makes it possible, with the device being of simple and low-cost construction, to dispense extremely small quantities of a concentrate with the device being operated at a pumping cycle frequency which corresponds to the frequency of the power mains by means of which an electromagnetic actuating coil is operated.
