Product Overview
Robust chemical transfer in industrial systems requiring a dependable mechanical diaphragm design is the primary role for this configuration. This DMX system is optimised for industrial service where set-and-forget reliability and a rugged mechanical interface are the primary requirements.
Driven by a 0.09 kW single-phase motor operating on a standard 240v supply, the unit produces a maximum dosing capacity of 16 L/h against a 12 bar maximum operating pressure. It utilises a 10:1 turn-down range via manual stroke length adjustment, providing a robust hydraulic solution for moving clean chemicals across varying site elevations.
The hydraulic design features a robust mechanical diaphragm and double ball valve configuration to ensure accurate fluid handling and long-term durability. This basic control variant focuses on consistent performance and manual adjustment, making it a reliable solution for standard industrial or agricultural chemical injection duties.
Mechanical durability is provided by a rugged PVC pump head and durable EPDM gaskets paired with ceramic ball valves suitable for standard media. Housed in an IP65 rated enclosure with an aluminium gear housing, the unit handles liquid temperatures up to 40°C and is supplied with standard G5/8 connections for versatile site pipework.
