Double diaphragm pump eliminates fluctuations
The smooth power of an ARO 3" double diaphragm pump, from Thomas Wright Thorite Group is assisting in the manufacture of high quality vitreous china sanitary ware at Heritage J Ceramics
Seven pump models are available, ranging in maximum flow outputs from 200 to 696 litre/min, with a common maximum discharge pressure of 827kPa.
Benefits of the conductive polypropylene range include the elimination of material contamination, higher conductivity, greater corrosion, impact and high temperature resistance, and better strength-to-weight ratios than traditional diaphragm pumps.
There are no problems with pump freezing, stalling and leaking, while the convoluted diaphragm design extends the diaphragm's working life by up to four times.
