Such pumps are often used in the manufacture of varnishes and paints, because of their ability to work as sensitively with sufficiently high performance. Such sensitivity is achieved due to the fact that at the pump are no rubbing parts. This means that heating and arcing are eliminated, and such pumps is quite possible to pump flammable liquids.
Depending on the needs of the production performance of the same diaphragm pump can range from 2.5 liters per hour to 16 cubic meters per hour. Metering Taco Stainless Steel pumps are characterized by the following indicators of service life:
- Taco 007 Average service life of pump equipment – 10 years or more;
- Taco 009 Average service life before overhaul – about 40,000 hours;
- Taco 0013 The specified service life before overhaul – 25,000 hours;
Lifetime – mode MTBF – 3350 hours.
In addition to the chemical and petrochemical industries dosing diaphragm pumps are widely used in the production cycles of water treatment plants. Each stage of water purification from pollutants requires precise control of parameters and a clear dosage of cleaning components. As a rule, municipal wastewater treatment plants the water is treated with chlorine (chlorinated) or fluorosilicic acid (fluorinated). The latter component has a particularly strong destructive action and work with it requires just Taco pumps 007, 006, 0013 models.
Manual control is not always possible and convenient, so often, these pumps are equipped with remote control unit or frequency converters. For example, pumps Taco 007, Taco 006, Taco 0013 may be equipped with automatic remote control devices filing. If the pump is equipped with such device, in its labeling is present the letter IFC.
Like any other equipment, diaphragm pumps require periodic scheduled maintenance, which is the replacement of component parts on a particular schedule.
