Benefits of a chemical transfer pump
A chemical transfer pump offers numerous benefits that make them ideal for fluid transfer applications within the industry. Here is a detailed overview of these benefits:
- Versatility: chemical pumps are designed to handle a wide range of fluids, including those with high viscosity or containing solids. Thanks to their ability to handle fluids with different physical characteristics, these pumps are suitable for many industrial applications, from water to highly viscous and muddy liquids.
- Safety: the seal-less design of the chemical diaphragm pumps significantly reduces the risk of leakage, eliminating potential leakage risks for the handled fluids. Furthermore, these pumps can be grounded to ensure safe operation in explosive environments, as they do not require electricity but only compressed air to operate. This makes them particularly safe for transferring flammable liquids or when working in environments with hazardous fumes.
- Reliability: built to withstand harsh operating conditions, diaphragm pumps provide long-term performance with minimal maintenance. Their ability to run dry without damage and to handle high pressures without requiring sophisticated control systems makes them extremely reliable.
- Ease of application: the simple design of diaphragm pumps makes them easy to install, operate and maintain. They do not require laser alignment or complex controls to operate effectively. Once connected to a compressed air source, they can be controlled via a valve on the discharge side of the fluid or by regulating the inlet air. This ease of use reduces downtime and increases operational efficiency.
- Self-priming: double diaphragm chemical pumps are self-priming and do not require positive inlet pressure to operate. Their fluid lifting capacity makes them particularly suitable for multiple installation configurations. In addition, they can be completely submerged, provided that the pump materials are compatible with the surrounding fluid and that the air outlet is above the fluid level.
- Chemical and thermal resistance: a chemical pump can be manufactured from a wide range of materials to handle almost any type of fluid. It is available in stainless steel, aluminium, polypropylene and PVDF. In addition, it can be equipped with sealing materials such as PTFE and EPDM, ensuring excellent chemical resistance.
- Sealless design: Double diaphragm pumps use reciprocating elastomeric diaphragms and control valves to suck and push product, creating a pumping motion. This design is extremely durable and cost-effective, eliminating the need for expensive mechanical seals and reducing the risk of leakage.
- Portability: AODD chemical pumps are lightweight and easy to transport, making them ideal for mobile applications. They can be mounted on trolleys for greater application versatility. In addition, they do not require complex installation or expensive drive motors, reducing initial costs and simplifying deployment.
- Certifications and standards: AODD pumps can be supplied with a wide range of certifications to meet the needs of users worldwide. Some of the common certifications include 3-A, IECEx, ATEX, FDA Compliant, ensuring that the pumps meet the highest safety and quality standards.
These numerous advantages make double diaphragm pumps an excellent choice for chemical transfer applications, offering versatile, safe and reliable solutions for fluid handling in a wide range of industries.
