There are many types of classification of pumps in different categories. The classification of types according to the principle of operation classifies diaphragm pumps as positive displacement devices. Ample opportunities for use, simplicity of the scheme of work, energy efficiency, the possibility of convenient transportation and installation make these mechanisms for pumping liquid very popular in practice. You can buy a membrane pump in Ukraine in Ukraine with an extended warranty at TAPFLO LLP, the official representative of the European manufacturer Tapflo Group.
Operating principle
The action of the pump is based on the reciprocating movement of the rod. On both ends of which there are air chambers and soft membranes. Air, compressed by pressure, through a special valve flows alternately under pressure to each diaphragm and makes the stem move. This movement creates the necessary pressure in the chambers to expel the liquid. This process is cyclical and pressure in one chamber is replaced by vacuum in another. The fluid pressure generated by the pump depends on the compressed air pressure.
Application area
Due to the isolated location from the external environment of the main part of the pump, the absence of the risk of rapid wear of parts, resistance to aggressive media, the diaphragm pump in Ukraine is used in:
metallurgy;
glass industry (pumping polishing paste);
food production;
oil refining chemical industries (transportation of solvents, lubricants, oils);
production of ceramics (pumping heavy slurries);
aviation industry (transportation of effluent from paint booths).
These positive displacement pumps have the ability to pump slurries with coarse abrasive fractions and pasty suspensions. The principle of operation allows you to maintain the integrity of the structure of the pumped liquid and is ideal in some cases. Especially when transporting paints and ingredients in the cosmetics industry.
Benefits
Due to the absence in the design of units with fast rotation, the pumps can be operated for a long time. Absolutely do not require lubrication and constant replacement of oil seals. Performance adjustment is extremely simple.
