Diaphragm Type Pump

Additional Details

The diaphragm pump has been developed for handling of highly expensive or highly toxic Liquids. This Pump is in two sections separated by a diaphragm. In one section a piston or plunger operates in a cylinder in which a non-corrosive fluid is displaced. The movement of the fluid is transmitted by means of flexible diaphragm to the liquid to be pumped. The only moving parts of the pump that are in contact with the liquid are the valves and these can be specially designed to handle the material. In some cases the movement of the diaphragm is produced by direct mechanical action or the diaphragm may be air actuated.
