Diaphragm Pump Problems
Diaphragm Pump Problems
(OP)
My question is regarding the pumping of dregs from a green liquor clarifier. We currently use ODS pumps (plunger type diaphragm pump from Dorr-Oliver, now GL&V). We constantly have leaks, diaphragm failures, and solenoid failures with these pumps. Does anyone have a suggestion for a better type of dregs pump (discflo, pitbull, other?)? Or, does anyone have any best practices as far as preventative maintenance for ODS pumps? Thanks in advance!

Without knowing your actual pump duty it is difficult to comment.
The Pitbull is something a little special as it has no diaphragms to fail & is a very simple yet effective design.
They have an excellent website: http://www.pitbullpumps.com which shows just what the pumps are capable of:
I have seen one in action & it is very impressive.
Cheers,
