case study
By ARO and Burt Process
Industry: Ceramic Tile Manufacturing
Customer's Application: Ceramic Slurry with Abrasive Larger Solids
Country: Czech Republic
BEFORE:
THE APPLICATION
The end-user is a manufacturer of wall & floor tiles. The customer uses a pump to transfer ceramic slurry with a high content of large abrasive solids at various flow rates up to 5 bar. Due to the size of the solids, a regular ball-check AODD pump often stalls. For this reason, the end-user began to consider using an electric hose pump. Unfortunately, the electric pump solution was not compatible with the customer's budget, and the end-user was not familiar with electric pump designs.
AFTER:
THE ARO® SOLUTION
The ARO® distributor proposed using an EXP Series Air-Operated Double Diaphragm Pump (AODD), also referred to as a Flap Valve Pump.
PRODUCT SOLUTION PF20A-BAP-SAAB
THE ARO® ADVANTAGE
- Compared to an electric pump, the AODD pump is easier to install with a smaller footprint, at a better Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
- Flap Valve pumps are designed to handle materials that are stringy, fibrous, large solids (suspended or non-suspended), abrasive, slurries, and other applications less suited for ball check style pumps.
- ARO® AODD pumps are useful for feeding filter presses, waste treatment, dewatering, filled material transfer, and a variety of other demanding applications.
- ARO® Diaphragm pumps offer reliability. Compared to many competitive models, the ARO® unbalanced air valve will always start, making the pump un-stallable. No need for a hammer or to cut the air supply. No reset button or magnetic valve.
- ARO® is the most respected brand, with a worldwide network of reliable expert distributors.
Burt Process Equipment is the leading supplier of ARO® products and offers free technical consultations. Our pump experts will help you select the right equipment for your application and budget.
