Chapter 4, to show the Global market by regions, with sales, revenue and market share of Diaphragm Pump, for each region, from 2014 to 2019;

The BVC 145 TwinTube is a continuous-motion unit producing as many as 500 bags/min. in a 2.85m x 1.325m footprint. Designed for confectionary and snack food packaging, the unit produces bags up to 145mm wide and 220mm long, with options to upgrade up to 320mm. The process takes packaging material from a single film roll and slits it into two film webs capable of forming, filling and sealing 250 finished bags/min. The machine also offers the option of packaging material infeed along two separate film rolls. Automatic edge control allows for repeatable format changeover and a tight tolerance on the longitudinal seal. Rovema NA; Norcross, Ga.; 404-640-5310; www.rovema-na.com

TPE diaphragms are manufactured by injection molding. As a result of their dimensional stability and tensile strength, TPE diaphragms do not need fabric reinforcement. Following are the available types of TPE diaphragms:

Increase in diaphragm pumps demand runs parallel with growth in water, chemical and wastewater & sanitation industries. Increasing industrialization activities, rising demand of proper sanitization, growing urbanization, organizations investing in water infrastructure, high living standards are the major factors driving diaphragm pumps market. Their low maintenance drive system and durability are additional factors adding to the growth of the market. The Asia-Pacific region accounts for a major share in this market. Pulsation associated problems and downturn in oil & gas industries can restrain the growth of this market though diaphragm pumps have scope for applications in power generation industry.

Segmentation of the AODD pumps market on the basis of application: In terms of application, the water transfer segment is estimated to dominate the market in terms of market share among all application segments, followed by the chemical transfer segment. In terms of growth, the water transfer segment is projected to lead the AODD pumps market.

AODD pumps are extraordinarily good ‘all-rounders’, finding applications in a wide range of industries, including construction, mining, electronics, chemicals and food processing. The pumps are self-priming so they can run dry without any damage and because they are powered entirely from compressed air, they are ideal for use in remote or hazardous locations, not to mention explosive environments. They require low amounts of maintenance and offer low cost of ownership, completing an attractive package.

As already mentioned, there is a huge choice of AODD pumps from a large number of manufacturers, so it can be useful to consult with independent pump suppliers, who are not tied to a particular manufacturer, for advice on the most suitable pump for a given application within the allocated budget.

Although Design Mark Industries keeps its chemicals in a vented, explosion-proof room, the supplier of membrane switches, keypads, and touchscreens sought to further improve the safety and efficiency of transferring acetone and acetate-based chemicals from 55-gallon drums into quart and 5-gallon containers.  The chemicals are used in the screen printing process of printed circuitry and graphic overlays. Production Supervisor Vincent Francisco ruled out manual pouring because of the potential of injury and lack of control in dispensing. Instead, he utilized a variety of traditional pumps including rotary, siphon, and lever-action, but found them all unsatisfactory. “I was replacing the pumps once or twice a year because they kept breaking down, delivered imprecise amounts, and were not designed as completely self-contained, sealed systems,” says Francisco. After considerable research online, Francisco decided to utilize a sealed chemical pump system from GoatThroat. “I consider using [GoatThroat] pumps a ‘best practice’ technique because the barrels remain upright and the entire system is sealed so there is never an issue with exposure or VOCs when transferring chemicals,” says Francisco. According to Francisco, the sealed pump system is intuitive to use because it operates like a beer tap. “Just pump the plunger a few times, open the spigot and dispense.  You have full control over how much is dispensed, even the tiniest amounts, or you can leave it open for a continuous flow.  It delivers the precise amount needed.” Francisco adds that the pumps are built for longevity. Over the past 11 years, he estimates that his company has saved thousands of dollars by eliminating the cost of replacement pumps. “I’ve only replaced one of our three pumps over that time due to constant use, and we could have used it longer,” says Francisco.   Allergy Laboratories Inc., a FDA licensed pharmaceutical manufacturer of biological extracts for the diagnostic testing and therapeutic treatment of allergies, also uses a sealed pump system to transfer acetone from 55 gallon drums to 1 gallon containers for a variety of processes. According to Charles Cheek, facility manager for Allergy Laboratories, the pharmaceutical chemical delivery process must be very clean and no foreign material can be introduced into the acetone.  Because acetone is highly flammable, he was concerned about using an electric pump that could potentially create a spark.  As a result, he decided to purchase a pump that had no electrical or moving parts that could create a hazard. “We’ve found GoatThroat pumps to be a much safer way to transport chemical liquids,” says Cheek, who utilizes a pneumatic adaptor accessory to supply pressure via in-house compressed air. “There is no spillage, splatter, overpouring, leaking, or VOCs because the system is self-contained. There is no sprayback and we do not get chemicals on our hands.  It is a nice, clean delivery system.”
