Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps From Elima-Matic

Air operated diaphragm pumps are common industrial pumps that use positive displacement to move liquids. These devices typically include a single diaphragm and chamber, as well as suction and discharge check valves to prevent backflow. Air operated diaphragm pumps are highly reliable because they do not include internal parts that rub against each other. In fact, prolonged diaphragm life may be possible if the diaphragm pump is run dry to prime. How Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps Work Typically, wear on the diaphragm or flap is due to the corrosive properties of media fluids or gases and/or excessive air supply pressures. Air operated diaphragm pumps can handle a range of media that includes abrasive materials, acids, chemicals, concrete or grout, coolants, combustible or corrosive materials, effluents, ground water, and gasoline or diesel fuel. Some Air operated diaphragm pumps can handle hazardous materials, highly viscous fluids, liquids with solids, or liquids with oil. Air operated diaphragm pumps are used in a variety of industries and applications.
