Air-operated diaphragm pumps for industrial applications
Positive displacement pumps use compressed air to move viscous and abrasive fluids, as well as fluids containing solids. They are designed for reliable fluid transfer in harsh environments to cope with a variety of applications, including paint, adhesives, oils, ceramics or hazardous chemicals.
They are commonly used for:
What is an air-operated diaphragm?
A type of positive-displacement pump, air-operated diaphragms move a quantity of liquid with each revolution of the pumping element. The compact design and operational efficiency make diaphragm pumps a versatile and popular choice. The pump’s continuous flow, regardless of mass, and its ability to handle high pressure make it ideal for handling a range of liquids.
How does an air-operated diaphragm pump work?
Air-operated diaphragm pumps use compressed air to move two flexible diaphragms, creating a vacuum on one side and positive pressure on the other. The difference in pressure pulls fluid into one chamber and pushes it out of the other.
