Diaphragm pumps are ideally suited for all sectors of the construction industry as well as for municipal and industrial applications where dry priming pumps are required. They are particularly useful for pumping muddy water, sludge or any liquid with a high percentage of solids. One of the best features of the diaphragm pumps is that they can run dry indefinitely without damage.
Applications:
Construction: Open pit dewatering; low-volume bypass; cleaning manholes; slurry transfer
Water Treatment: Pumping out neutralized sludge; cleaning cesspools/septic tanks
Industry: Pumping out sludge; paper mills; food processing; wood pulp; water with wood chips; bilge pumping; dyes; cutting water; circulation; juices; must; wort; wine lees; effluent from washing textiles or fibers
