Handling aggressive media in bulk water treatment requires a configuration that combines high hydraulic strength with superior chemical compatibility. This DME AR unit is intended for properties and plants that require the peak material resistance of PVDF combined with the high throughput of the series to ensure consistent dosing accuracy.
Powered by a 240 W single-phase motor, the unit produces a maximum dosing capacity of 375 L/h at a 10 bar maximum operating pressure. It utilises an 800:1 turn-down ratio, allowing the operator to adjust the output from its peak capacity down to 0.47 L/h, ensuring the hydraulic power of the DME series is matched with precise control.
The electronically controlled motor with variable stroke speed provides smooth and continuous dosing with reduced pulsation across the operating range. The inclusion of a diaphragm leak detector and chemical pre-empty and empty level inputs prevents process interruptions, while the potential-free output relays provide immediate signalling for alarms or stroke counts.
Mechanical integrity is ensured by a chemically resistant PVDF dosing head and durable FKM gaskets paired with glass ball valves. The unit includes integrated connectivity for process integration, is housed in a robust IP65 enclosure, and handles liquid temperatures up to 45°C (PVDF).
