PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps

Graco Air operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps use compressed air as a power source. The compressed air is shifted from one chamber and then to the other side by a linked shaft. This movement allows the chambers to move simultaneously. This back-and-forth motion forces liquid out of one chamber and into the discharge piping while the other chamber is being filled with liquid at the same time. These pumps use reciprocating elastomeric diaphragms and check valves to pump fluid. The liquid chambers are filled and emptied by fluid that is drawn through a common inlet and discharged through a single outlet.

Piston Pumps

A piston pump’s working principle is similar to a positive displacement pump’s, operating with assistance from a pumping mechanism force to increase the volume of the liquid. Graco’s piston pumps are lift type. In this type of pump, the piston’s upward stroke causes the fluid to be drawn to the lower portion of the cylinder with the help of a control device called valve. Meanwhile, the downward stroke lets the fluid flow to the upper cylinder portion with the help of control devices which are arranged in the piston. After fluid is drawn upward, it is released outside the pump from the higher portion of the cylinder through a spout.

Electric Drum Pumps

Electrically operated drum pumps work by fitting into the top opening of a drum by way of its narrow tube, which houses a vertical shaft. The drum pump consists of a small motor attached to the shaft, which runs on an AC or DC electric motor. The motor turns on the drum pump via a switch. When the pump is actuated, its pumping mechanism comes from the base of the tube, which sucks up the content. The base of the tube relies on either a small centrifugal pump impeller or a rotor. Because of its modern design and quick transfer action, Graco electric drum pumps are the pump of choice in chemical plants, manufacturing plants, food and pharmaceutical processing plants, automotive shops, and other processing plants.
