Understanding Electrically Operated Diaphragm Pumps: Functionality and Applications Electrically Operated Double Diaphragm (EODD) pumps operate via a back-and-forth movement of two diaphragms (a flexible membrane typically made from materials like rubber, Teflon, or thermoplastic), which results in the movement of the fluid. These pumps serve several industries, including ceramics, sanitaryware, paints & dyes, metals & mining and oil & gas. They are known for their performance, reliability, ability to handle many fluid types, and superb resistance to harsh conditions. First, here is a little bit about how EODD pumps work. To explain it to a layman, an EODD pump focuses on the following mechanism: Suction stroke – Imagine a closed pump body. Now, imagine the first diaphragm moving backwards. This movement creates a vacuum, which helps draw fluid into the pump chamber through an inlet valve. Discharge stroke – Now imagine the diaphragm moving forward while putting pr...

  Key Features and Benefits of Internal Gear Pumps Internal gear pumps use two gears, one larger and the other smaller, to displace fluids via a suction and discharge cycle, especially viscous fluids such as oils, chemicals, and food and beverages. These pumps are popular among industries because of their efficiency, reliability, and ability to handle a wide range of fluids. Read on to learn about internal gear pumps' features, advantages, and significance in industrial applications. First, let's discuss their features. Positive displacement design – Internal gear pumps are designed to displace a fixed amount of fluid with each revolution. As a result, they are an excellent choice for industries that require steady, consistent fluid transfer, such as pharmaceuticals and chemical processing. Customised body - Depending on the application and the kind of fluid that needs to be displaced, an internal gear pump can be jacketed or heated (electrically) so that the fluid doe...

  Key Features and Benefits of Hydraulic Diaphragm Metering Pumps Modern industries that require precise fluid dosing, including chemical processing, water treatment, and food production, often need an efficient, high-performance, and reliable metering pump that delivers again and again. Hydraulic diaphragm pumps have been known to meet such stringent requirements and more. These systems feature a special kind of pump that transfers fluids by means of a diaphragm mechanism. These pumps work almost like regular pumps with a rotary motion; however, they use hydraulic pressure to drive the circular movement of a movable diaphragm. In this article, you will learn about the key features and benefits of hydraulic diaphragm metering pumps and understand their role in improving industrial efficiency and operational safety in the context of modern industry applications. So, how do hydraulic diaphragm metering pumps work? The simple answer lies in three words - hydraulic actuation mecha...
