Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps are unique machines that allow liquids to be transferred from one location to another through the use of air pressure. They are like magic wands that can make things flow where they need to go.” Visible through the pump’s body are two chambers, and in between them is a flexible diaphragm. The air going in one chamber compresses the diaphragm, pushing liquid out of the pump. This makes them highly convenient in a number of roles requiring rapid and easy movement of liquids.
Air operated diaphragm pumps have a range of benefits which make them ideal for a variety of applications. One key benefit is that they can process liquids thick and thin, which means they're extremely versatile. They are also simple to use and do not require a lot of maintenance. They also can work where there is no electricity, which makes them ideal in remote locations. They’re also very durable and can get a lot of use, helping companies save money in the long run.
Hook up the hoses - When the pump is hooked up to the air source you'll want to hook up the hoses. One hose delivers the liquid to the pump, and the other hose conducts the liquid away from the pump.
Turn on the air - Once you have everything hooked up, you can turn on the air to launch the pump. The air pressure will move the diaphragm and liquid will be expelled from the pump and end up in the right spot.
Watch the flow - You should be checking the flow of liquid while the pump runs to ensure everything is working properly. And if there are any problems, it’s better to address them before they become more serious.
Air operated diaphragm pumps are employed in a variety of applications because they accommodates a wide variety of liquids, such as water, oil, chemicals, and even sludge. That makes them ideal for industrial uses in manufacturing, mining, construction and wastewater treatment. These pumps have applications in food and drink production, medicine, and agriculture as well. Their versatility to be available in different fields and using different liquids, makes them very useful for many positions.
Check air pressure - You’ll also need to monitor the air pressure entering into the pump to make sure that it is within the levels specified. An excess or a shortage of air pressure can affect the pump’s ability to function properly.
