Diaphragm Pumps
|
|
|
|
Use a positive displacement design rather than centrifugal force to move water through the casing. This means that the pump will deliver a specific amount of flow per stroke, revolution or cycle.
Engine-powered versions are the most common and typically use the drive shaft to turn an offset connecting rod that is coupled to a flexible diaphragm. The connecting rod alternately raises (expands) and lowers (contracts) the diaphragm at a rate of 60 cycles per minute (rpm).
A vacuum is created inside the pump casing each time the diaphragm is raised (suction stroke). This opens the inlet valve and seals the discharge valve

allowing water and air to enter the pump. When the diaphragm is lowered the resulting pressure seals the inlet and opens the outlet valve purging the pump housing of water and air (discharge stroke). Unlike centrifugal designs the water inside the casing is positively displaced and no re-circulation occurs.

Diaphragm Pumps have long been a favorite of the rental industry, they deliver dependable performance and low maintenance in an economical package. They are ideal for the slow seepage applications where a centrifugal pump would ordinarily lose its prime. They are perfect for muddy water, sludge or any water with a high percentage of solids.

- Positive Displacement Design - 2" and 3" models feature a positive
displacement design for quick, easy priming.
- Oil Bath Transmission - Includes built-in 6:1 gear reduction, allowing use of
engines with standard parallel-keyed shafts.
- Engines - Dependable, easy starting Honda overhead valve (OHV) engines.
- Wheel Kits - Standard on both MQ Diaphragm Pumps.
- Large Flapper Valves - with readily replaceable seats.
- Cast Aluminum Pump Body - for reduced weight.
