If you already have a bomba diaphragm pneumatic machine or are planning to purchase one, you already know how versatile this equipment is. Bringing reliability; safety, flexibility and versatility, these pumps are valuable allies for those looking for reliable equipment for their company.
However, even if it is extremely functional, it is always possible to optimize your performance, regardless of your application. Here are some tips we have prepared to help you with this mission. Check it out!
Use proper size connections
It is very important to make sure that the connections used at pump input and output are the right size. This means that if you are using a two -inch pump, the pipe should be the same proportion. When connections are smaller, the pump flow can be affected, as is the longevity of your diaphragm.
Ensure a clean air supply
Air quality plays a key role in the performance of your pneumatic diaphragm pump. When the compressed air used is not pure enough, or very damp, both the functioning and durability of the pump can be harmed. Contaminant agents can damage seals and diaphragms. To avoid this type of problem, you can use an air filter or regulator, and maintain periodic maintenance of the compressed air system.
Keep an eye on your bomb
We know that each plant is totally unique, as well as applications, making it difficult to identify signals that indicate an eminent fault in the diaphragm pneumatic pump. To be able to calculate the durability of your pump, it is important to research on its operation in similar applications and track your performance over time, keeping the stops for always up to date.
Use accessories
Some accessories may help you improve the performance of your diaphragm pneumatic pump, such as:
Flexible fluid connections: Reducing fluid pulsation, this component can help you reduce tension, avoiding leakage and damage.
Pressure meters: They help effective pump control and solve system problems (blockages, restrictions or pressure fluctuations);
Input stabilizers: installed on the pump suction side, can reduce peaks or input pressure waves;
Check the hardware
Whenever a new pump is installed (or reinstalled after a repair), it is important to check all pump tights. Because of the fluency of the material, temperature changes and vibration, components may end up loosening. For this, it is important to know:
When performing tightening, the pump cannot be under pressure;
If the pump is not properly tightened, the seals may be impaired.
Have a maintenance protocol
Maintaining a maintenance stop schedule helps to improve the performance and increase the useful life of your pump. Furthermore, when any repair is carried out, it is important to change all components. This way you can reduce the costs required for disassembly and unavailability of the pneumatic diaphragm pump.
