DPS: Diaphragm Protection System

Diaphragm Protection System

New Diaphragm control PTFE- sandwich diaphragm with

Diaphragm condition monitor extraordinary safe pump head
trouble-free start-up New diaphragm

with extended service life

Diaphragm movement is stabilised

by overpressure in the hydraulic fluid

No gas bubbles during suction stroke
Higher suction lift capability,

comparable to plunger pump heads

Higher stroke frequencies are possible (theor. 288min-1)
26

THE TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGE

M900 diaphragm
New diaphragm technology

(patent pending)
Longer diaphragm service life

due to central guide of diaphragm

Simple screwing-on of diaphragm

Diaphragm condition

THE TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGE

Arguments creating confidence

Diaphragm technology is based on the experiences with the proven

M700 and LEWA ecodos series

Clamping technology is based on the experiences with the PTFE

high-pressure pump heads M800

LEWA ecoflow has been tested successfully for more than 500.000

hours
The diaphragm springs have been successfully tested for more than

40.000 hours operation

THE TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGE

Summary and customer advantages

Simple start the pump without

diaphragm positioning
Max. pressure range: up to 400bar High suction lift capability,

allows pumping out of a vacuum

Long service life of diaphragms Simple maintenance High suction pressure safety Wide turndown range

by stroke speed and length

Full diagnostic capability Simple spare parts stocking at

customers with a high share of identical parts
