Liquid Diaphragm Pumps: Applications and Industries

Liquid diaphragm pumps are the first choice for moving demanding fluids gently without any system downtime. Within the realm of industrial applications for these pumps, one can identify the following sectors:

In-Vitro Diagnostics (IVD)
Continuous Inkjet Printing (CIJ)
Drop-on-Demand Inkjet (DOD)
Fuel Cells
Condensate removal

Thomas Liquid diaphragm pumps are the preferred choice for handling demanding fluids smoothly without system downtime. Applications requiring high flow rates highly value these pumps for their reliability and flexibility. Their compact design saves space, and making them suitable for tight quarters.
In medical settings, their small size allows integration into portable devices like infusion pumps and diagnostic equipment. These pumps ensure precise and steady liquid flow, crucial for applications like drug delivery. In industrial applications, they perform remarkably well in tasks like chemical dosing and inkjet printing, owing to their sturdy build and compatibility with a wide range of fluids.
These pumps offer consistent fluid control, a vital feature for industrial processes such as chemical dosing, pharmaceuticals, and metering where precise control and accuracy are essential.

How Liquid Diaphragm Pumps Work?

In these positive displacement pumps, the action of an eccentric on the motor shaft moves the diaphragm. During the down stroke, the pump chamber draws the medium in and expels it during the upstroke. Internal valves mounted within the pump head function as check valves and control the direction of flow.
