What Is a Diaphragm Pump?
A diaphragm pump (also known as a membrane pump) is a positive displacement pump that uses the alternating action of a diaphragm and valves to move fluids.
This type of pump can handle air, liquids, pastes, slurries, emulsions, and many other substances.
How Does a Diaphragm Pump Work?
A diaphragm pump operates through the movement of its diaphragm, which is typically made of rubber, thermoplastic, or Teflon. This movement is usually driven by an electric motor, electromagnetic vibration, or compressed air, causing pressure variations within the pump chamber.
- When the diaphragm retracts, increasing the chamber’s volume, pressure decreases, drawing fluid into the pump.
- As the diaphragm pushes inward, the previously drawn fluid is expelled through a check valve (such as a one-way valve, butterfly valve, or another type of shut-off valve).
- The diaphragm then retracts again, initiating a new suction cycle.
In general, low-flow, low-pressure diaphragm pumps are designed for handling thick and viscous liquids such as slurries or heavy oils, while others are built for high-flow and high-pressure applications. For example, Teflon diaphragm pumps are used for high-precision and high-pressure industrial applications.
Key Advantages of Diaphragm Pumps
- Run-dry capability: Diaphragm pumps can operate dry for extended periods without damage.
- Handling of abrasive and corrosive fluids: Heavy-duty diaphragm pumps are designed to handle highly abrasive and even corrosive liquids.
- Reliable separation of pumped fluids: Their design prevents fluid contact with sensitive internal components, and their durability depends on the housing and diaphragm materials.
Applications of Diaphragm Pumps
Diaphragm pumps are widely used for metering, dosing, and transferring various liquids, including:
- Water
- Solvents
- Alcohols
- Pastes
- Resins
- Adhesives
- Oils
- Greases
- Paints
- Emulsions
- Dyes
- And more!
Their versatility makes them essential in countless industrial processes. Many industries rely on diaphragm pumps, including:
- Petrochemicals
- Pulp and paper
- Water treatment
- Food processing
- Printing
