Precautions for Using OVELL Pneumatic Diaphragm Pumps

The diaphragm pump is a new type of industrial transport equipment currently available, which can have different driving forms. For example, a pneumatic diaphragm pump is driven by compressed air, while an electric diaphragm pump is powered by electricity. Although both belong to the category of diaphragm pumps, there are certain differences between the two.OVELL Pneumatic Diaphragm PumpLet's take a look at the following content from the manufacturer.

In the following introduction, everyone will understand that the difference between the OVELL pneumatic diaphragm pump and the electric diaphragm pump lies in the difference in driving forms. In addition, regarding the total flow parameters, the pneumatic diaphragm pump can achieve a platform flow of 60m/h, while the electric diaphragm pump has a platform flow of only 28m/h. In terms of price, if they are of the same model specifications, the pneumatic diaphragm pump will be much cheaper than the electric diaphragm pump.

Furthermore, in terms of usage conditions, if in a hazardous area with flammable and explosive materials, it is clear that the pneumatic diaphragm pump is more suitable, as it is driven by compressed air and generally does not produce flames during use, thus effectively preventing safety risks. However, if using an electric diaphragm pump, an explosion-proof motor would be required. But in actual use, it still depends on whether it is more convenient to connect gas or wiring.

Understanding the correct cleaning method for pneumatic diaphragm pumps is very important for equipment operators. After dealing with high-viscosity and generally denser media, it is essential to clean the diaphragm pump to prevent the medium from solidifying and affecting future operation. The cleaning method may vary depending on the damage situation of the pump, and detailed information can be referenced in the following points.

Pneumatic diaphragm pumps are comprehensive and widely used, suitable for various working conditions. However, after handling wastewater or other viscous media, although no damage occurs, it is inevitable that pollution will occur. At this time, it is necessary to know the cleaning methods for pneumatic diaphragm pumps to carry out repairs.

Regarding the cleaning methods for pneumatic diaphragm pumps, generally, it is sufficient to operate the diaphragm pump in a clean water tank for a few minutes to remove the dirt inside the pump chamber. However, if the diaphragm ruptures during operation, causing the valve and pump chamber to also contain the transported medium, a thorough cleaning of the internal structure of the pump shell must be performed before replacing the valve plate. In this case, first determine whether the medium is harmful. If it is a non-harmful liquid, you can directly use a water-absorbent towel to clean the pipeline and pump chamber. However, if there are hazardous acidic or corrosive media, proper protection should be taken before cleaning with cold water, while carefully checking if other working components have been corroded.
