What do users tend to forget when buying or installing a pump?
Factors such as viscosity, temperature, and chemical compatibility are often overlooked. Another common mistake is estimating flow without considering head loss or suction height. Count on our technical support to avoid these problems.
Can I use the pump straight from the box?
Antes da instalação, siga as orientações do manual. Cuidados importantes: • Instalar próximo à fonte do fluido • Evitar redução no diâmetro da linha de sucção • Verificar a pressão e qualidade do ar comprimido • Utilizar filtro/regulador de ar • Ligar gradualmente para evitar cavitação
How to control the flow of a pneumatic pump?
With an air regulator filter. It allows you to control pressure, protect the system and ensure smoother operation.
Do pumps that consume more air use more energy?
Yes. Air consumption directly influences operating costs, as it depends on the compressor. More efficient pumps significantly reduce energy consumption.
What is the maximum viscosity that a pneumatic diaphragm pump can pump?
Up to 90,000 cst. For even more viscous liquids, it is recommended to adjust the installation: heavy valves, gravity feed and oversized pump.
Is it important to prepare compressed air?
Fundamental. Dirty or humid air is one of the main causes of failures. Use a filter/regulator and keep the air line in good condition.
Do I need to check the screw torque?
Yes. After installation or maintenance, always check the torque as specified in the manual. Vibration and thermal variations can loosen the fixation.
How to carry out preventive maintenance on pneumatic diaphragm pumps?
A common practice is to let the pump operate until the first failure, as a reference for useful life. From there, preventive maintenance is scheduled based on this experience.
What are the most important components in maintenance?
Diaphragms, balls, seats and flaps. Duplação offers complete kits or individual parts as needed.
How do you know when to change parts?
The first flaw is the initial parameter. After this, it is recommended to follow a preventive replacement plan, replacing all components on the wet side simultaneously.
