9 Key-Points Why Double Diaphragms Pumps Are Ideal For Transfer Applications

Posted by Drn Industriel on May 10th, 2019

Diaphragm pumps can be described as positive displacement pumps, which uses a combination of reciprocating action, and either a flapper valve or a ball valve for transferring liquids. These pumps are also referred to as membrane pumps in the industrial sector. Diaphragm pumps such as ARO air operated pumps are ideal for viscous liquids. There are a lot of models available in multiple online stores that work in electric, manual, air operated or hydraulic configurations.

Pumps, especially the double diaphragm pumps are one of the most preferred options in transfer applications because of their design structure, which makes them easy to use and also cost-effective. For best results, these pumps must be installed and operated by an expert.

Here are 9 good reasons why a double diaphragm pump can be perfect for your fluid handling requirements.

1 They can handle fluids containing high solids content. Handling a wide range of stickiness, both caustic and abrasive is possible with the help of air operated double diaphragm pumps. There are no close-fitting or rotating parts, so liquid with a high solid percentage can be pumped with little effort.

2 They are self-priming. The design of these pumps facilitates an impressive suction lift even when heavier fluids are being processed. Diaphragm pumps have some of the strongest lift capabilities when compared with other type of pump.

3 They are able to run dry. With no close fittings or sliding parts at risk, the pump can operate even when it is dry without any damages. However, it is not recommended to dry run for a long period of time.

4 Air operated double diaphragm pumps are explosion-proof. Because they can operate on air, they are considered relatively safer and also explosion-proof.

5 The efficiency level is continuous. There are no rotors, gears, vanes, or pistons that can wear out and lead to a steady decline in performance.

6 These pumps provide a variable flow rate and discharge pressure. Devices such as ARO air operated diaphragm pumps can run anywhere within the operating range by simply adjusting the air inlet pressure and liquid discharge settings.

7 They will not overheat. Compressed and filtered air, nitrogen or clean dry air are all very cold, which can help the pumps cool down during operation, without causing any overheat.

8 There are no mechanical seals, couplings, or motors. This reduces much of the maintenance and leakage that is prevalent with other types of pump.

9 They are transportable. These pumps can be moved to wherever and whenever they are required, making it one of the most flexible pumps available.
