Why choose a diaphragm pump?

RAASM pneumatic double-diaphragm

pumps (ratio 1:1) are designed and
manufactured for pumping a wide range
of fluids even with high viscosities and
with suspended solids.
In being ATEX certified, they can also
be used for heavy applications such
as in places with high humidity or with 1
potentially explosive atmosphere.
We summarize below the main
advantages:

Atex certification available

The wide range of materials used for

the pumps makes it easy to identify
the model having the best
chemical compatibility with the fluid
to be pumped and for the work
environment (cosult the tables on
page 16).

TECHNICAL ASPECTS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A CORRECT CHOICE OF PUMP

PUMP SIZE ABRASION RESISTANCE

The size of a pump is closely linked to its maximum delivery: If the fluid to be pumped is very abrasive, the wear on parts that deteriorate
in fact, the larger the pump the greater the delivery. quickly (e.g. diaphragms, balls, seats) can be reduced by choosing a pump
larger than required. In this way the speed of the fluid inside the pump will
be lower, thereby reducing the abrasion on the parts in contact with it.
CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY
Some parts of the pump are always in contact with the liquid to be
pumped. Therefore the materials these parts are made from must
be chemically compatible with the liquid. SYSTEM SIZE
In order to optimise the performance of the pump it is advisable to consider
DIMENSIONS OF SUSPENDED SOLIDS the following dimensional parameters relevant to the system:
The maximum dimensions possible for suspended solids in the
fluid to be pumped are specified in the technical tables of each 1) Suction pipe: position the pump as close as possible to the point of
diaphragm pump. suction; if this is not possible, the maximum vertical distance must not
exceed the 6 m.
WORKING TEMPERATURE
The maximum and minimum working temperatures take into 2) Delivery pipe: the pipe must be sized so as to avoid pressure losses; the
account the physical characteristics of the various parts internal diameter must be chosen according to the distance to be covered,
making up the pump and their interaction with the pumped liquid the temperature and the viscosity of the fluid.
