During the process of choosing a pneumatic diaphragm pump The first step is to determine what the construction material of your equipment will be. This is because, depending on the material in which your bomba is developed, there can be a direct impact on the performance and results of your industry.
The material in which the pump is developed is one of the most important aspects to guarantee the safety and efficiency of its operation. Certain noises can cause damage to the structure of the equipment, as well as its viscosity and temperature.
To help you in this process, we have listed the four main aspects that should be considered when choosing the material of your pneumatic diaphragm pump:
Fluid type
In this sense, we need to evaluate the viscosity of the material. Very viscous substances need to be pumped with pumps made from more resistant materials such as stainless steel.
This type of fluid is very common in the food industry, mainly due to its characteristics and the need for gentle pumping. It is also necessary to consider the need for hygiene and the cleaning conditions of your pump, to ensure that it is always safe for transporting food and that your industry remains in line with current legislation.
Chemical compatibility
As we said previously, chemical compatibility is also fundamental in your process of choosing a pneumatic diaphragm pump. In this case, it is necessary not only to evaluate the material of your pump, but also the components that are part of it, such as membranes, gaskets, balls, among others.
To ensure safety and compatibility, it is necessary to check the chemical compatibility guide for your equipment, a document that presents a compatibility classification of the pump's fluids and materials.
Portability
If you need a pump that can be transported easily, you need to choose lighter materials, as long as they are compatible with the fluid. The construction of the bomb directly affects its weight, and also the possibility of grounding and submersion.
Environments
The location where your pneumatic diaphragm pump will be located is also a determining factor in your choice process. Even though pneumatic diaphragm pumps only work with compressed air without the need for electricity, it is necessary to be aware of potentially explosive environments.
This is because, even without the presence of electricity, the accumulation of static electricity in pumping can lead to accidents, especially in industries where there is the presence of flammable liquids or vapors with a risk of ignition.
By carefully evaluating these factors, you will be able to choose an efficient diaphragm pump that can deliver the productivity that your industry expects. Close contact with your pump supplier will help you in this choice process and ensure that you acquire the best equipment for your operation.
