Series PD-450 Air-Operated Diaphragm Pump

VQ-PD450

Positive displacement pump, flow 0.5 to 48 m³/h, pressure to 8 bar.

FLOW
0.5 to 48 m³/h
PRESSURE
to 8 bar
VISCOSITY
1 to 20,000 mPas
TEMPERATURE
-10 to +95 °C

Why it is specified

When the liquid is thick, shear-sensitive or full of solids, a centrifugal pump stops being a pump. These displace a fixed volume per revolution, so flow follows speed and viscosity barely matters.

Typical applications

  • Dewatering and filter press feed
  • Food and beverage transfer
  • Polymer and adhesive feed
  • Sludge and slurry transfer
  • Viscous product dosing

Options and executions

  • Double mechanical seal with flush
  • Heating jacket on the pump head
  • Pressure relief valve on the head
  • Trolley or skid mounting
  • Variable speed drive
