OVERVIEW
PE (Polyethylene) material pneumatic diaphragm pumps are a type of positive displacement pump that uses compressed air to drive the movement of diaphragms for transferring fluids. These pumps are known for their robustness, corrosion resistance, and versatility.
Features
- Material Composition: The diaphragm pump is constructed using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for the pump body, which provides excellent chemical resistance and durability. The diaphragm material is typically made from reinforced PE or other elastomers, ensuring reliability under various operating conditions.
- Pneumatic Operation: Powered by compressed air, the pump uses a diaphragm to create a pumping action. The air-driven mechanism allows for smooth and adjustable flow rates, making the pump suitable for various applications.
- Corrosion Resistance: PE's resistance to corrosion and chemical attack makes these pumps ideal for handling aggressive or corrosive fluids, including acids, alkalis, and solvents.
- Self-Priming: The design allows the pump to be self-priming, which means it can start pumping without needing to be manually primed or filled with fluid beforehand.
- Maintenance: These pumps are designed for easy maintenance with fewer moving parts, reducing the potential for wear and tear and simplifying repairs.
- Applications: PE material pneumatic diaphragm pumps are widely used in industries such as chemical processing, water treatment, mining, and pharmaceuticals. They are effective in handling slurries, viscous fluids, and liquids with suspended solids.
- Flow Rates and Pressure: The specific flow rates and pressures depend on the pump size and configuration. Typically, these pumps can handle flow rates from a few liters per minute to several hundred liters per minute and operate at pressures up to several bar (gauge pressure).
- Safety: The use of PE material ensures that the pump is safe for use with a variety of chemicals and is capable of operating in hazardous environments without compromising safety.
