DEPA Air Driven Diaphragm Pumps

Series M Type DL Cast Metal Pumps

For general industrial, water/ waste, construction and mining duties. Many years experience in the design and manufacture of air driven diaphragm pumps have resulted in these high performance units. Because of their compact, lightweight construction, they are well suited to portable and mobile applications as well as xed installation in process plants. All types of uids from water to slurries and pastes, including abrasive or shear sensitive media containing solids, are handled cost effectively by these pumps. Choice of just the right Series M unit to satisfy the requirement in each case is facilitated by availability of three different materials for the pump housing: * Cast Aluminium, AL 233 * Ductile Iron, GGG 40 * Cast Stainless Steel, 1.4408 (SS 316) Series M pumps are manufactured in ve different sizes with standard connections: DN 15 to DN 80, (12 in. to 3 in.) All models are completely self contained, only requiring connection to pipework and air supply. Standard design Features include maintenance free control valve, stainless steel base with integral anti vibration mounts, drain and vent connections, stainless steel clamp bands, air intake lter (for DL25 to DL80) and mufer. Accessories A complete range of accessories simplies operation and enhances exibility. They include pulsation dampeners, monitoring and control systems, various transport devices, quick release couplings, adapters etc. For more information, please contact your local supplier. I Ideal for abrasive, viscous and shear sensitive media, and for products with entrained solids. I Tolerance of dry running and harsh usage. I Minimal maintenance with no lubrication required. I Posivive displacement pumping action minimises product shear. I Completely enclosed units with no bearings or rotary seals in the product stream. I Air operation means suitability for explosive or hazardous areas. I Easy control of ow rate by regulating air supply. I No need for electric motors, special drives or base plates. I Easily portable and ready to use by simply connecting to air supply. I Can be run against a closed dischargea vital benet for use on lling machines. I Self priming and submersible. I Rugged construction in cast aluminium, ductile iron or cast stainless steel.

DEPA Air Driven Diaphragm Pumps

Series M Type DL Operating Principle
Double acting, positive displacement Series M pumps operate with two alternating pumping chambers. The compressed air which drives the unit is admitted through a control valve, to the rear of each diaphragm in turn, so displacing the medium from alternate pumping chambers. In the pump illustrated, the right hand pumping chamber is in the intake position. A vacuum has been created by the retraction of the diaphragm and the pumped medium ows into the chamber. The left hand diaphragm, which is supported by compressed air, simultaneously displaces the medium present in this chamber. Since the two diaphragms are connected by a common piston rod, suction always occurs in one chamber whilst discharge is occurring in the other.

Performance characteristics of Series M Type DL cast metal models

Example: To help you select the correct pump size Required pumping rate is 17 m3/h and required total discharge head is 20m. The correct selection is DL 50, the required air pressure is 3.8 bar and the air consumption is 1.5 Nm3/min.

Extremely rugged construction reduces downtime to a minimum. DEPA pumps have been designed in such a way that all components in contact with the product can be disassembled and reassembled within a few minutes. This means that servicing work is reduced to the absolute minimum. DEPA air driven diaphragm pumps have been developed as a modular system. Consequently, many componentssome of which are common to all versionsare mutually compatible and interchangeable. This exible construction allows quick and simple changing of the internals for all Type DL models, to full different applications.
