As bombas pneumáticas de diafragma são altamente versáteis e muito fáceis de operar. Podendo ser aplicadas em diversos tipos de operação, essas bombas conseguem entregar versatilidade, produtividade e um excelente custo-benefício. Contudo, é muito importante implementar um protocolo de manutenção preventiva para evitar problemas e garantir que a sua bomba continue entregando todo o desempenho esperado.
Most pneumatic diaphragm pumps can be submerged and are also portable, making them easy to operate and ensuring your business can handle a variety of fluids and environments. In addition, they also feature mechanisms to prevent leaks, are self-priming and have the possibility of running dry without damaging their structure and functioning.
With a relatively low initial purchase price, this equipment has been increasingly used in industries of all segments, delivering cost savings and profitability for the business.
Like its operation, the pneumatic pump maintenance diaphragm is simple and practical, facilitating the preventive maintenance process and increasing its useful life. To establish this process efficiently and completely, it is essential to pay attention to some factors:
Your preventive maintenance should include:
Periodic evaluation of diaphragms to determine if at any level of wear or need for replacement. to facilitate this process, you can include a course counter to assess need and repairs.
Check the tightness of Your pump components to avoid leaks and possible damage. Due to vibration and changes in temperature, some of the grips on the pump components may loosen, requiring periodic tightening. It is important to remember that this tightening cannot be performed when the pneumatic diaphragm pump is in operation or under pressure.
Stick to your pump's chemical compatibility chart to avoid pumping fluids that could damage your equipment's structure.
Don't forget to always use clean air, as one of the most damaged parts of this equipment is the air distribution system. Damage to this component occurs due to the use of an excessively humid area or that is not clean enough.
To avoid this problem, you can install an air filter or regulator to prevent contaminated or excessively humid air from entering.
Control the air pressure to ensure your pump is working at its maximum capacity and prevent damage or loss of performance. Excess pressure can cause the cycle to happen too quickly and inefficiently, wearing out your pump unnecessarily.
Implement a liquid level controller so that your pump can deliver the expected performance.
Periodically check the air filter for possible debris or blockages due to the quality of compressed air used.
Due to their functionality, pneumatic diaphragm pumps can be used in severe applications, dealing with floating, suspended and unsuspended solids, slurries and other fluids with the presence of debris. However, it is important to remember that one pump cannot handle all types of situations and must be chosen according to your company's needs.
For this reason, it is important that your team periodically checks for possible lengths and blockages in your lines. Kinks and closed valves can also cause problems for your pump, so it is very important that the installation of your equipment takes into account its proper functioning and the needs that the pump presents.
Surge suppressor installation to avoid eliminating undesirable pulsation during pumping. This measure will ensure more stable pressure and prevent wear and tear on your pump's piping system.
Establish a leak control protocol to save resources and avoid major losses in your processes. Depending on the pumped fluid, leakage can pose a great risk to operators and cause serious accidents within your industry. Proper maintenance will help your pump run more efficiently and prevent potential leaks from deteriorating equipment components.
Adopting periodic preventive maintenance of your pneumatic diaphragm pump will help your company to save time and reduce costs arising from technical problems. This maintenance will increase efficiency and ensure full performance of Your pump, reducing downtime and extending its life.
