air-operated double diaphragm pumps can move anything
from fine chemicals (gentle, non-shearing action), to
abrasive and viscous slurries (no close-fitting parts,
low internal velocities), and almost any other product
that can move. A few of the thousands of products now
being pumped: |

- Paints
& solvents
- Pigments
- Resins
- Construction
water & waste
- Beer

PRICE time-tested design will save you money, trouble
and downtime. Some of the performance features include:
- Can
run dry indefinitely without damage.
- No
shaft seals or gland packing.
- Infinitely
variable flow & discharge pressure from 0 to
pump's maximum by adjusting air pressure.
- Gentle
non-shearing action.
- If
discharge is clogged or closed pump stops immediately;
no power consumed, no heat, no wear. By opening
discharge, flow starts automatically.
- Operates
submerged or with flooded suction.
- Self-priming
from a dry start.
- Pressures
up to 100 PSI (7 bar).
- No
close fit, sliding or rotating parts. Low internal
velocity reduces wear.
- Quick
assembly/disassembly with split clamp bands.
- Capable
of pumping at high temperatures.
- Quiet,
steady discharge flow without use of pulsation dampener.
- Safe
for use in explosive environments. No electrical
hazards or costly motor and control equipment needed.
- No
pressure relief or bypass piping required because
pump pressure never exceeds air inlet pressure.
- Pollution-free
operation. The PRICE pump even improves air environment
in confined areas.

The air valve directs pressurized air to the back side
of diaphragm 1. The compressed air is applied
directly to the liquid column separately by elastometric
diaphragms. The diaphragm acts as a separation
membrane between the compressed air and the liquid.
Driving the diaphragm with air instead of the shaft
balances the load and removes mechanical stress from
the diaphragm, dramatically extending diaphragm life.
The compressed air moves the diaphragm away from the
center block of the pump.
The opposite diaphragm
is pulled in by the shaft connected to the pressurized
diaphragm. Diaphragm 2 is now on its air exhaust
stroke; air behind the diaphragm has been forced out
to atmosphere through the exhaust port of the pump.
The movement of diaphragm 2 toward the center block
of the pump creates a vacuum within chamber 2.
Atmospheric pressure forces fluid into the inlet manifold
forcing the inlet valve ball off its seat. Liquid
is free to move past the inlet valve ball and fill
the liquid chamber.

The
heart of the Double Acting Air Operated Diaphragm Pump
is the air valve which shifts the air supply to both
diaphragms alternately with complete reliability under
all conditions of head and flow. The air valve performs
this function with a simplicity in design and serviceability.
Exclusive Air
Valve
The only moving part with metal to metal contact,
Air Valve, is the hard anodized aluminium piston.
This single moving part is lubricated by oil mist
picked up by the incoming air supply to the pump.

Pumps give dependable, top performance in the most rugged
pumping jobs.
Up to 50% solids and over 30 m. are no problem for the
Pump. Compressed air is applied directly to the liquid
column separated by elastomer diaphragms. This balances
all the liquid, slurry load, removes the mechanical
stress from the diaphragms to allow high heads and thousands
of hours of diaphragm life.
The pumping volume is controlled by easy inlet air valve,
from a few lit. per hour to over thousand lit. per hour
with the same unit. A by pass valve is not required
because the pump stops when discharge pressure equals
air inlet pressure. The pump can also run dry indefinitely
without damage. Our double diaphragm design cuts velocity
through the pump to half total discharge velocity. The
most abrasive slurries produce little wear effect on
pump parts. |
