How do air-operated diaphragm pumps work?

Function and design

Air-operated diaphragm pumps use compressed air as the driving force to pump liquid. Their simple but effective design makes them reliable and easy to maintain. The pumps have diaphragms that move back and forth, creating pressure variations that pump the fluid through the system.

Versatility in use

These pumps are extremely versatile and suitable for a wide range of liquids and substances, including aggressive chemicals, slurries, oils and lubricants. Whether in the chemical industry, food production or wastewater treatment, air-operated diaphragm pumps meet the requirements of various applications.

Advantages of compressed air operation

The compressed air-driven mechanism offers advantages such as self-priming capacity and dry-running safety. The pumps are also explosion-proof and require minimal maintenance. In addition, they provide easy control of flow and pressure, allowing customisation to specific process requirements.

Environmentally friendly and economical

Air-operated diaphragm pumps are energy efficient and environmentally friendly. They eliminate the need for electrical components and thus reduce energy consumption. This economical and sustainable solution makes them an attractive choice for companies looking for efficiency and cost savings.
