CHALLENGES FACED

The customer was dissatisfied with the service life of their  diaphragms in AODD pumps. The lifetime of the original OEM diaphragms was only 1 - 2 months. The diaphragm then showed prominent tears through it’s membrane.The pumps operate at 85 °C, are used for the moving of partial and complete process products which often contain small particles. The pumps operate 24/7.

OPERATING CONDITIONS

1. Media: resins
