Thanks to their versatility, pneumatic diaphragm pumps are some of the most used equipment in the industrial environment. In addition to being a very economical solution, these pumps do not require much maintenance, in addition to having a relatively low initial acquisition cost when compared to other solutions.
Another advantage of this valuable equipment is that they are extremely versatile and can handle different types of fluids, even corrosive materials, viscous and abrasives. For this reason, the bomba Diaphragm pneumatics is a very efficient, flexible and economical pumping solution.
All these differences make this equipment one of the best solutions found for the industrial environment. Furthermore, it can also solve 4 problems encountered in the industry when using conventional pumps, as we will see below:
Foaming
The presence of gas or air bubbles within the pumped fluid can cause cavitation and damage some components of a traditional pump. Furthermore, the efficiency of the pump is also considerably impacted, causing the company to suffer from the unavailability of the equipment and having to pay for expensive maintenance.
The formation of bubbles can also make flow control and monitoring of the fluid difficult, compromising product quality and final consistency. An example of this is the formation of foam in the food and beverage industry, which can harm the appearance, taste and quality of the product.
In the case of the Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry operation, the formation of foam can favor explosions and fires, especially in the case of pumping chemical fluids dangerous and flammable.
Shear
Fluid shear can harm production, especially in cases where the product to be pumped depends on consistency. This problem can cause major impacts on the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, making it necessary to find a solution to avoid this problem.
The pneumatic diaphragm pump can handle a wide range of viscosities, ensuring there is no shear and the pump can operate according to expectations and recommendations.
High cost
Traditional positive displacement pumps generate higher costs for companies, from their purchase price to the need for maintenance. The pneumatic diaphragm pump has a lower cost than similar technologies, featuring a simple and functional design.
Another big advantage is that these pumps use compressed air to operate, without the need for electric motors, wiring and sophisticated control panels. In this way, this pump can deliver efficiency and practicality with a low acquisition cost.
Versatility
Its robust design and functionality make the pneumatic diaphragm pump an extremely versatile solution. In addition to featuring a small design ranging from 1/4 to 3 inches, these pumps are also portable.
This way, this equipment can be easily moved to any need in your operation. They can also be grounded and submerged, providing even greater safety for pumping chemical and flammable products.
