How Diaphragm Pumps Keep Industries Running Smoothly
When it comes to industrial applications that need to rely on the continuous flow or careful metering and dosing of several fluids, diaphragm pumps come into their own. Meticulously designed with every pump component tested for optimal performance, we at Prochem Chemical Pump Manufacturers are proud to supply industries with one of the most reliable and durable pumps on the market.
ACCURATE DOSING, METERING, OR CONTINUOUS FLOW APPLICATIONS WITH DIAPHRAGM PUMPS
To help you gain a better understanding of the efficacy of diaphragm pumps, we would like to delve into some industries that depend on the self-priming and run-dry abilities of these pumps, making them the popular choice for a plethora of abrasive and viscous fluid transfer applications.
1. Chemical Manufacturing
The astounding corrosive resistance of diaphragm pumps enables them to safely transfer chemical and hazardous fluids without compromising or damaging the physical properties of the fluid. In chemical manufacturing, this is vital as a diaphragm pump, due to its low to high viscous pumping capabilities, can batch dosing chemicals. Some of the hazardous materials handled by these pumps include pigments, paints, detergents, and aggressive chemicals.
2. Mining Operations
Removal of water and water drainage are some of the common applications for diaphragm pumps. Dewatering of mines and quarries both below and above ground needs to be done regularly to maintain smooth mining operations and have a reliable pump that can handle both sludge and abrasive slurries. On-site fuel needs to be transferred to earth-moving equipment and heavy-duty vehicles, and dosing reagents as well as solvents need to be transferred to separate minerals from ore, a task that diaphragm pumps handle with ease.
3. Wastewater Treatment Facilities
Wastewater can be highly abrasive and when treated, chemically aggressive, making diaphragm pumps with their robust seals ideal for this application. Being flexible, versatile, and compatible with a broad range of chemicals, the pumps can be moved and cleaned during treatment processes. The pumps lift the raw wastewater to primary treatment facilities where solids are separated and removed, and chemicals are added until finally, the clear effluent can be discharged.
4. Food Processing
Diaphragm pumps play a critical role in the food and beverage industry due to their ability to handle accurate dosing and metering within a contained environment. As food production encompasses the handling, transformation, and storage of ingredients safely, diaphragm pumps need to handle variable viscosity fluids, dewater wells for disinfection and sanitisation, pump chemicals such as acid or soda in food during processing, and handle the unloading of drums and tanks, to name a few.
Selecting the right type of diaphragm pump is fundamental for efficient operations and maintaining high standards of safety. Even though our principal range lies in chemical handling pumps, we cannot emphasise enough the importance of using superior quality pumps for industrial applications, such as Finish Thompson air diaphragm pumps.
WHY SELECT FINISH THOMPSON AIR DIAPHRAGM PUMPS?
Finish Thompson air diaphragm pumps, supplied by us at Prochem Chemical Pump Manufacturers, have distinctive benefits over their counterparts:
Relatively simple to install.
Easy to operate and portable.
Reduced maintenance costs over the lifespan of the pump with fewer moving parts.
Handles abrasives and solids with ease.
More economical than other types of diaphragm pumps.
Capable of handling fluids with varying viscosities for multiple applications.
