Special features of our double diaphragm pumps?

Optimised air control valve

Increases the efficiency of the pump and reduces the air consumption (depending on the operating point).

Elastomer diaphragm

Use of rubber compounds with embedded nylon fabric to increase mechanical strength in order to extend the service life of the pump. The most common elastomers are based on nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR).

Flow-optimised hydraulic system

Enables higher flow rates due to lower, internal pressure losses.

TFM membrane

Modified PTFE with refined molecular structure for improved safety and reliability.

How our diaphragm pump works:

The overpressure created in the chamber (A) closes the suction valve and opens the pressure valve, allowing the liquid to enter the pressure line. At the same time, the same process takes place in reverse order in the negative pressure area of chamber (B). The pressure valve closes and the suction valve opens so that the liquid can flow in on the suction side.

Installation options for the compressed air double diaphragm pump

Self-priming

If the suction joint is above the liquid level, the pump must suck in the pumped liquid itself. When running dry, the diaphragm pumps can self-prime up to 4.5 m wc and when the suction line is full, a suction head of up to 9 m wc can be achieved.

Submerged operation

Pumps of sizes 1 1/2” and 2” can be submerged in liquids and operated there, provided the pump material is sufficiently resistant and the air outlet is above the liquid level.

Stationary or mobile installation

The pumps can either be mounted stationary or transported as required to different application sites to empty the liquids from different containers.

Flooded suction

If the liquid level is above the suction joint, this is referred to as positive feed. If the maximum inlet pressure is exceeded, the suction line should have appropriate shut-off valves.

Hanging construction

For special process requirements, the pump can also be installed in a hanging position.
