Diaphragm Pumps

Diaphragm Pumps

Diaphragm pumps, also known as membrane pumps or air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps, are positive displacement pumps that use reciprocating action to move fluid. They are widely used in various industries and applications due to their versatility, reliability, and ability to handle a wide range of fluids, including corrosive, viscous, abrasive, and shear-sensitive liquids.The key component of a diaphragm pump is a flexible diaphragm that acts as a barrier between the fluid and the air or hydraulic system driving the pump. The diaphragm moves back and forth, creating a vacuum on one side and pressure on the other, causing the fluid to be drawn into and expelled from the pump chamber.Diaphragm pumps are popular for their ability to handle solids, slurries, and fluids with high viscosity without compromising performance. They are also self-priming, meaning they can operate with a dry suction line and still draw in the fluid.These pumps are used in a wide range of industries, including chemical processing, wastewater treatment, mining, oil and gas, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and more. They are valued for their durability, ease of maintenance, and ability to operate in hazardous or explosive environments.Diaphragm pumps offer benefits such as gentle pumping action, adjustable flow rates, and the ability to run dry without damage. They are a reliable choice for applications requiring consistent and efficient fluid transfer, making them an integral part of many industrial processes.
