An important addition has been made to the full range of spares and accessories for the popular Flotronic One-Nut range of air-operated double-diaphragm pumps available from Tri-Ark.

An important addition has been made to the full range of spares and accessories for the popular Flotronic One-Nut range of air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps available from Tri-Ark.

Tri-Ark's One-Step diaphragms replace Flotronic's "bonded" PTFE diaphragms, and are now available for all sizes and generations of Flotronic AODD pump, including Hi-Flo and Lo-Flo series 1 and 2.

One-Step pump diaphragms are reckoned to be the longest-lasting PTFE diaphragms available for air-operated diaphragm pumps.

Designed as an advancement over conventional PTFE diaphragms, One-Step pump diaphragms incorporate a unique PTFE that has 10 times the flex life and impact strength over conventional PTFE.

One-Step pump diaphragms are also available for most air-operated diaphragm pumps, including Sandpiper (also known as Kecol) and Wilden (also known as Axflow, formally known as George Mellors).

One-Nut pumps are manufactured in a variety of sizes and materials, including sanitary versions for hygienic applications in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.

One-Nut pumps are characterised by their extremely simple assembly mechanism, which allows rapid servicing and maintenance.
