Low-pressure diaphragm pumps are a type of positive displacement pump that utilizes a flexible diaphragm to move fluids. They are commonly used in various industries for applications such as chemical dosing, fluid transfer, and hydraulic systems. Here's some detailed information about low-pressure diaphragm pumps:

Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps

Key Features & Applications

  • Chemical Compatibility: Many low-pressure diaphragm pumps are designed to handle corrosive or abrasive fluids, making them suitable for chemical processing applications.
  • Variable Flow Rates: These pumps can often accommodate variable flow rates by adjusting the operating parameters such as air pressure (in pneumatic pumps) or stroke length.
  • Versatility: Low-pressure diaphragm pumps can handle a wide range of fluids, including viscous liquids, slurries, and even solids in suspension, making them versatile across industries.
  • Self-Priming: Some models of diaphragm pumps are self-priming, meaning they can draw fluid into the pump without the need for external priming.
  • Hygienic Applications: In industries such as food and beverage or pharmaceuticals, where cleanliness is paramount, diaphragm pumps offer hygienic transfer of fluids without contamination risks.

Low-pressure diaphragm pumps offer reliable and efficient fluid transfer solutions across a wide range of industries, making them a popular choice for many applications.
