Crafted from premium stainless steel, this air operated pump is inherently resistant to corrosion, ensuring durability even when handling aggressive chemicals and solvents. Its non-electric, explosion-proof operation makes it a preferred choice for hazardous environments, including food and pharmaceutical processing where hygiene is paramount.
Versatile Fluid Handling and ConnectionsWith maximum discharge head up to 70 meters and solid handling capability (up to 6 mm), the pump adeptly manages fluids of varying viscosity and particulate content. Connection options include threaded, flanged, and sanitary types, enabling flexible integration into existing pipelines or systems while ensuring secure sealing and minimal leakage risks.
FAQ's of Air Operated Stainless Steel Pump:
Q: How is the Air Operated Stainless Steel Pump installed and operated?
A: The pump can be mounted either portably or in a fixed position, depending on your requirements. It requires a compressed air supply (4-7 Bar) for pneumatic operation, eliminating the need for electric motors. Once connected to the relevant inlet/outlet pipelines using threaded, flanged, or sanitary connections, simply supply compressed air to begin pumping.
Q: What types of fluids and solids can this pump handle?
A: This pump is suitable for transferring chemicals, food-grade liquids, solvents, and corrosive fluids. Its robust design allows for handling solid particles of up to 6 mm, making it ideal for processes where particulate-laden fluids are present.
Q: When should I consider choosing different diaphragm materials for my application?
A: Select the diaphragm material based on the fluid's chemical compatibility and operating temperature. PTFE and Viton are recommended for highly corrosive chemicals and higher temperatures, while Santoprene and Buna-N work well with less aggressive fluids and moderate temperatures. Refer to the fluid temperature range (-10C to 90C) to match your process needs.
Q: Where is the pump commonly used, and what industries benefit most from it?
A: The pump is widely used in industries such as chemical manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and solvent handling. Its hygienic, explosion-proof, and corrosion-resistant features make it highly suitable for critical applications requiring safety and compliance.
Q: What is the typical process for priming and suction lift?
A: For dry conditions, the pump can achieve a suction lift of up to 4 meters. When primed, it can lift up to 8 meters. The self-priming feature allows for quick startup without complex procedures, ensuring minimal downtime and efficient fluid transfer.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this air operated pump over electric pumps?
A: Key advantages include improved safety in explosive or wet environments, corrosion resistance, and the ability to operate without an electric motor. It offers reliable performance with fixed speed, minimal noise (<85 dB), and straightforward maintenance.
