Chemical processing
The sector heavily relies on transfer for tasks like mixing, diluting, and reacting chemicals. Diaphragm pumps are designed to handle abrasive and thick fluids, promoting safety measures and preventing leaks.

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology
These pumps uphold sanitary conditions during drug manufacturing processes to prevent contamination and guarantee the effectiveness of the final product.

Food and beverage
Electric diaphragm pumps ensure food safety protocols by preventing cross-contamination and preserving product integrity.

Water treatment
Diaphragm pumps are utilised for dosing chemicals within treatment plants. Reliable transfer mechanisms ensure precise dosing levels to uphold water quality standards and safety measures.

Oil and gas industry
In oil fields, chemical injection pumps facilitate the transfer of additives for oil recovery processes. Dependable pump systems help minimise spills, reduce downtime, and optimise production efficiency.

Mining and construction
Essential tasks such as moving slurry, draining water, and adding chemicals depend on electric diaphragm pumps.

What are electric diaphragm pumps, and how do they operate?
Electric diaphragm pumps, also known as electric-operated double diaphragm pumps, are versatile devices used for fluid transfer in various applications. They use electricity as their power source. They can save up to 80% on operating costs and energy compared to air-operated diaphragm pumps.

Advantages of Electric Diaphragm Pumps

· Energy Efficiency: Electric diaphragm pumps eliminate the need for costly compressed air, significantly reducing energy consumption.

· Seamless Design: Ideal for handling chemicals safely and delivering precise fluid transfer.

· Wide Range of Applications: Suitable for various industries, including chemical transfer and paint/ink applications.

Different terms used for electric diaphragm pumps
Let’s explore the various terms associated with electric diaphragm pumps:

Electric Double Diaphragm Pumps
· These pumps use electricity to drive two diaphragms in tandem.
· The synchronized movement of the diaphragms creates suction and discharge strokes, allowing fluid transfer.
· Electric double diaphragm pumps are versatile and find applications in chemical processing, food, and wastewater treatment.

Electric Driven Diaphragm Pumps
· Similar to electric double diaphragm pumps, these pumps are driven by an electric motor.
· They can have single or double diaphragms.
· Electric-driven pumps are efficient, reliable, and suitable for various industries.

Electric Operated Diaphragm Pumps
• Electric operated diaphragm pumps come in both double diaphragm configurations.
• Single diaphragm pumps feature one diaphragm, whereas double diaphragm pumps incorporate two.
• These pumps function by compressing and expanding the diaphragms.
• Electric operated diaphragm pumps find applications in chemical transfer, paint circulation, and various fluid handling operations.
• These designations denote operated diaphragm pumps, each tailored for functionalities and uses.
