Pump stroke counter aids predictive maintenance

Tri-Ark has released a novel all-pneumatic air operated double diaphragm (AODD) pump stroke counter.

Have you ever been frustrated by the fact that the airside of your pump has been contaminated by product when your diaphragms fail?.

How do you like the idea of it never happening again?.

Demand from many Tri-Ark customers led to this innovation and is of particular interest to those who are interested in pre-emptive diaphragm exchange.

The stroke counter is fitted to the exhaust port of an AODD pump, and each stroke is sequentially counted, logged on an LCD and fed back as a flash of a light.

When the diaphragm eventually fails, product will spill into the airside of the AODD pump and operation will immediately cease.

At this time the counter will freeze and the stroke counter's display will give the number of strokes the diaphragm has lasted before failure, eg 10 million.

The user can use this number as a guide to stop the pump operating in future and exchange the diaphragms before failure.

With a number of diaphragm manufacturers making incredible claims about diaphragm life, now is the time to put those claims to the test.

Available in ATEX-exempt and standard trim, the PCS pump stroke counter is already popular with a number of OEMs and will help users achieve pre-emptive diaphragm exchange and minimise downtime.
