What is an Air Diaphragm Pump?
Air-operated diaphragm pumps work based on the principle of displacement and suction used for various purposes in many industries. The driving process is not carried out with an electric motor. In diaphragm pumps, only air is used for driving.
Diaphragm Pumps
Diaphragm pumps operate on a principle similar to a suction pump. Air-operated diaphragm pumps are driven not by an electric motor but by compressed air. Depending on the pump's flow capacity and the pressure required by the operating conditions, it operates by connecting to an appropriately sized compressor's air line.
Since air-operated diaphragm pumps do not operate with electricity, they have explosion-proof features. For this reason, they are often preferred in the transfer of fuels, solvents, and many other flammable and volatile fluids. In addition to their ability to perform deep suction and operate dry (although the diaphragm life is shortened), their pumping flow rate and pressure can be easily adjusted.
For these reasons, air-operated pumps can be used in a wide range of applications in many industries, including transfer, circulation, filling, and dosing.
