Diaphragm Pump
Air operated diaphragm pumps are designed for general use. They can easily pump from clean, light
viscosity fluids to corrosive, abrasive medium viscosity fluids and can transfer large particles without
damage. Due to their pneumatic motor, they could be used in potentially explosive areas.

These pumps offer the ability to vary the flow outlet and discharge pressure as slow as 0.26 gallons (1liter)
per minute up to 275 gallons (1041 liter) per minute for our larger sizes and adjust fluid pressure up to125
p.si. (8.6 bar), by using just an air filter / regulator and a needle valve

Air operated diaphragm pumps offers many materials of construction. Our metallic offering consists of
aluminum, cast iron, stainless steel and hastelloy. Our non-metallic offering consists of polypropylene,
acetyl and PDVF. All pumps are available with convoluted diaphragms offering long product life and
reduced maintenance.

Diaphragm pump characteristics:

 Have good suction lift characteristics, some are low pressure pumps with low flow rates; others are
capable of higher flow rates, dependent on the effective working diameter of the diaphragm and its stroke
length. They can handle sludge and slurries with a relatively high amount of grit and solid content.
 suitable for discharge pressure up to 1,200 bar
 Have good dry running characteristics.
 Can be used to make artificial hearts.
 Are used to make air pumps for the filters on small fish tanks.
 Can be up to 97% efficient.
 Have good self priming capabilities.

Can handle highly viscous liquids, Highly Solid Percentage (Drilled Cutting) & Very Dirty Viscose’s Water.
