Product Details

A polypropylene air-operated diaphragm pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses compressed air to move a diaphragm back and forth, creating a pumping action. The pump is constructed with components made from polypropylene, a thermoplastic polymer known for its chemical resistance and durability. Here are some key features and considerations regarding polypropylene air-operated diaphragm pumps: Material Construction: Polypropylene: This material is chosen for its resistance to various chemicals, making the pump suitable for handling a wide range of fluids. Operation: Air-Operated: These pumps are driven by compressed air. The reciprocating action of the diaphragm is initiated and controlled by the air supply. Diaphragm Design: Diaphragm pumps typically have a flexible diaphragm that moves back and forth, creating suction and discharge cycles. Applications: Chemical Transfer: Polypropylene pumps are commonly used in chemical processing and transfer applications due to their resistance to corrosive substances. Versatility: The air-operated diaphragm pump is versatile and can handle fluids with solids or abrasive particles. Advantages: Chemical Resistance: Polypropylene is known for its resistance to a wide range of chemicals, acids, and bases. Portable: Air-operated diaphragm pumps are often portable and suitable for various on-site applications. Self-Priming: Diaphragm pumps are generally self-priming, allowing them to handle air and fluids mixed in the suction line.
