Advantages Of Diaphragm Pumps That You Need To Know

Using a double diaphragm pump comes with a lot of benefits. Read this post to know some of the top benefits of using these pumps for your application.

Handles a wide variety of liquids with high solid content

These pumps are capable of handling a wide range of viscosity – abrasive and caustic. These are some of the most versatile pumps you will ever get. There are no rotating parts so this makes it easy to pump liquids with high solid content.

Self-priming

The pump design allows for an enhanced suction lift even when pumping heavier fluids. The pumps have some of the strongest suction lift capabilities.

Ability to run dry

There is no sliding parts or fittings that are at risk. This means that the pump can run even when it is completely dry without massive damage. However, diaphragm pump manufacturers do not recommend running the pump dry for long periods. This is mainly because running the pump dry for extended periods can reduce the diaphragm stroke life.

Explosion-proof

Diaphragm quality pumps operate on air and this means that they are safe and considered to be explosion-proof when codes are followed and they are grounded properly.

There is constant pumping efficiency

There are no gears, rotors, pistons or vanes which wear over time and can lead to a gradual performance decline.

Variable discharge pressure and flow rate

The pumps can run anywhere within their range of operation by just adjusting the liquid discharge and air inlet pressure.

They cannot overheat

Filtered air that is compressed or clean dry air or nitrogen are very cold. This is the source of the power of these pumps and they make it possible for the pumps to cool themselves hence removing the issue of overheating.

Submersible

A diaphragm pump, when there is compatibility, can be submerged in the fluid. This adds flexibility to the product.
