What is a Diaphragm Pump
A diaphragm pump is a positive displacement pump which operates with a flexible diaphragm, and integrated check valves. The diaphragm is moved inward & outward toward the pump body which works in conjunction with the check valves and draws in and expels the fluid out the pump casing.
There are two main styles of diaphragm pumps, namely mechanical driven diaphragm pumps and air operated diaphragm pumps. The difference between these two styles is their method of being driven, ie. with compressed air, or mechanically drive with an electric motor or engine.
These pumps are available in various sizes from ¼” to 3”.
They are also available in a range of materials that suit a range of applications. These materials are Aluminium, Cast Iron, Polypropylene, PVDF, Cast Stainless Steel, Food Grade Stainless Steel.
For applications where there is an Explosive Atmosphere, we have ATEX Certified conductive pumps.
Applications of Diaphragm Pumps
Diaphragm Pumps have a wide variety of applications and uses in many industries including food, dairy, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, where Stainless Steel pumps are used for these hygienic requirements.
Air pumps are very commonly used in the food sector as the transfer of the fluid does not disrupt the chemical properties and consistency of products such as milk, buttermilk, yogurt, cream, mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup and similar products.
Other uses of AODD pumps include transfer of petroleum products, oil and sludge removal operation, transfer of many types of chemicals, including adhesives, solvents, solvent and water based glues and adhesives, paints and inks. The diaphragm pump is the preferred option for these and other types of chemicals and are widely used as they have the ability to operate safely in a flammable environment.
Air Operated Diaphragm Pump
An air operated diaphragm pump (also known as a membrane pump) is a type of positive displacement pump that uses compressed air as a power source. The compressed air is shifted from one chamber to the other by a linked shaft that allows the chambers to move simultaneously.
