Understanding Electrically Operated Diaphragm Pumps: Functionality and Applications

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...
