WARREN Rupp, distributed by IDEX Fluid and Metering, says its new pumps retain the positive attributes of air-operated double diaphragm pumps while employing the latest control technology.
Air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps are known for their positive attributes of handling fluids that are heavily laden with solids, abrasive materials, shear sensitive liquids and the ability to pump soft solids without damaging the product.
They are also popular because they are lightweight, portable and easy to use due to their pneumatic power.
Warren Rupp’s technology optimises pump efficiency and uses adaptive optimization as pump application parameters change. This method maintains all the positive attributes of AODD pumps while employing the latest control technology.
The devices are electromechanically controlled using a micro-processor and linear feedback system to monitor pump actuation and adjust the air supply according to the required performance, thus optimising energy efficiency.
The technology allows for simple installation by integrating electrical power generation into the system, eliminating the need to provide electrical power to the AODD pump.
