I often receive phone calls from end users about diaphragm cycle life and the first few questions I ask are: What pump are they using? What chemicals are they using and at what temperature? Is it a suction lift application or a flooded suction? At what flow rate are they operating the pump? After discussing these questions I find that several customers are running the pump at full throttle…

Yamada makes drum pumps in 3 port sizes. The 3/8” pump is available in Aluminum and Stainless Steel. The 1/2” pump is available in Polypropylene or Kynar. The 3/4” pump is available in Polypropylene, Aluminum or Stainless Steel.

Proximity Sensors can be provided on almost any Yamada pump. They are used to send a signal every time the pump completes a cycle. This signal can then be used to count cycles for preventative maintenance. It can also be used to monitor flow rate.

When we refer to EX-Air Valves we are talking about electrically controlled shuttle valves as opposed to a pump that uses a c-spool piloted by an air signal from the pilot valve. The EX-Air Valve is available on all pumps except the NDP-5 and NDP-15 series pumps.

There seems to be some confusion regarding what center rod is used with the various diaphragms. Hopefully this article, and the chart below will add some clarity to this issue.
