Yamada Double Diaphragm Pumps: Unmatched Self-Priming Performance

Reliable Self-Priming for Any Application

Yamada's Double Diaphragm Pumps are engineered to handle the toughest challenges, especially when it comes to self-priming. Our pumps are designed to operate under various conditions, including dry lift, submerged suction, or flooded inlet scenarios, making them an excellent choice for numerous industries.

What is Self-Priming?
Self-priming pumps have the ability to evacuate air from the suction line, creating a vacuum that draws fluid into the pump, even when no fluid is initially present in the pump. This capability is crucial when handling challenging applications where the fluid is stored below the pump or when air might be present in the suction line.

How Yamada Double Diaphragm Pumps Excel in Self-Priming

  1. Dry Suction Lift up to 20 Feet
    Yamada's advanced diaphragm design allows for powerful dry suction lifts of up to 20 feet, depending on the model. This means you can count on Yamada pumps to reliably draw fluids even in demanding environments. Whether you're transferring water, chemicals, or sludge, Yamada pumps initiate suction smoothly and quickly.
  2. Versatility for Diverse Fluids
    Self-priming isn’t limited by the type of fluid. Our double diaphragm pumps are capable of handling a wide range of viscosities—from thin solvents to heavy slurries. The ability to draw in fluids, even those with a high level of suspended solids, makes Yamada pumps the ideal solution for applications where typical pumps struggle.
  3. No Need for External Priming Devices
    Unlike other pumps that require priming agents or extra equipment, Yamada double diaphragm pumps provide instant and efficient self-priming without additional setup. This not only reduces installation complexity but also minimizes costs and downtime, contributing to greater operational efficiency.

Applications Ideal for Self-Priming with Yamada Pumps

  • Remote Liquid Transfer
    Yamada double diaphragm pumps can be stationed above ground-level storage tanks or reservoirs, easily drawing fluids up from lower levels with minimal hassle.
  • Tank Car and Drum Transfer
    For moving fluids from tank cars, drums, or intermediate bulk containers, our pumps eliminate the need for complex systems, thanks to their robust suction lift capability.
  • Dewatering Operations
    Whether it's removing water from trenches, pits, or other excavation sites, Yamada pumps excel at removing both liquids and entrapped air, ensuring a smooth operation in dewatering tasks.
