Diaphragm pumps

A diaphragm pump is a positive displacement pump that uses a combination of the reciprocating action of a rubber, thermoplastic or teflon diaphragm and suitable valves on either side of the diaphragm to pump a fluid. Air-operated diaphragm pump has a simple design and highly reliable reversing valve, which can ensure non-stop operation and reduces expensive downtime cost. The bolt through fluid cover design eliminates leaks and makes the pump safer with higher reliability. Diaphragm pumps are self priming and are ideal for viscous liquids. Virtually all major industries utilize diaphragm pumps. They are commonly used to move abrasive fluids, including concrete, or acids and chemicals. They are also common in automobiles and aircraft.
