APX 10 Metallic Diaphragm Pump

APX 10 Metal Diaphragm Pump: A metal-bodied, air-operated diaphragm pump with a 1" threaded connection, operating within a capacity range of 0–160 liters per minute.

Its operating principle relies on compressed air alternately moving two diaphragms; this seal-less design eliminates the risk of leakage. The pump is self-priming, resistant to dry running, and its flow rate can be continuously adjusted with air pressure.

The pump housing is available in Aluminum, Cast Iron, and Stainless Steel (316); options for the diaphragm and internal components in contact with the fluid include Neoprene, Buna-N, Teflon, Viton, Santoprene, and EPDM.

Material selection is based on the fluid being handled: the stainless steel option is preferred for corrosive fluids and processes requiring hygiene; the Teflon diaphragm option allows for use with aggressive solvents.

The discharge head ranges from 0 to 84 mss, the maximum suction lift is 6 to 8 m, and it can transfer fluids containing solid particles up to 4 mm in size.

Compressed air in the 0–8.4 bar range is sufficient for operation; it consumes 10–67 m³/h of air through a 1/2" air connection.

Its durable metal housing makes the pump suitable for industrial environments with high mechanical stress.
