Diaphragm pneumatic pumps: plastic or metal?

Content of this post

Depending on the type of product being pumped, the operation can be completely compromised if the bomba wrong is used. This is because several chemical products are highly corrosive and can cause leaks and serious accidents, putting the lives of all workers at risk. For this reason, it is important to study the types of pneumatic diaphragm pumps available on the market and their respective chemical compatibility tables.

Diaphragm pneumatic pumps are highly versatile and reliable, and when applied correctly, they can guarantee a cost-effective for the company. For them to deliver their entire productivity and quality, you need to choose the correct model for your application.

Before buying your pump, it is important to pay attention to the differences between plastic and metal models and chemical compatibility for each application. Using the correct model, it is possible to avoid accidents, increase productivity and ensure greater longevity for your pneumatic diaphragm pump.

Diaphragm pneumatic pumps: plastic or metal?

Metal pumps

Made of aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, or other metals, this type of pump is an excellent option for applications where solids, hazardous environments and operations where the high pressure It is a concern (requiring a high pressure pump). This type of pump can be grounded for greater safety and can handle abrasion well.

In addition, they are robust bombs, very valuable in portable applications, as they allow the displacement and quick disassembly. This type of pump also has a high durability and ensures several benefits for the company, such as:

· Abrasion resistant parts;
· Less damage to mobile applications;
· Better cost-benefit;
· Can be grounded for greater security in explosive environments;
· Easy cleaning and maintenance;
· Supports a wide range of temperatures.

Plastic pumps

With a robust and leak -resistant construction, plastic diaphragm pneumatic pumps are a very efficient alternative for operations involving chemicals. They are highly corrosion resistant and, compared to metal pumps, are considerably lighter and can be easily transported.

Plastic diaphragm pneumatic pumps are made of polypropylene and PVDF, and can be applied to the pumping of chemicals and petrochemicals; Acid and caustic transfer; Water treatment; Automotive services, among others.

This type of pump can be used in open environments, but performs better in closed environments. This is because it has a lower resistance to very high or very low temperatures. Thus, it cannot be exposed to UV light for a long time, so as not to harm its composition.

Diaphragm pneumatic pneumatic pumps built in plastic guarantee several advantages for the company:

They have screwed and leakless construction;
They are light bombs and can be easily transported;
Have High resistance to chemicals;
They can be found in various sizes and materials;
They are portable and submersible;
It is possible to find grounding versions to meet the needs of the company.
