 Diaphragm pump heads with
hydraulically actuated diaphragm

LEWA ecoflow diaphragm pumps

are the safe and hermetically tight
alternative for medium to high
pressures.

LEWA diaphragm pump heads

present an economical solution for
a variety of metering applications.
Today, ecologically damaging, dan-
gerous, sensitive or abrasive fluids
are metered with zero leakage
diaphragm pumps only.

Damage of one diaphragm, e. g. by

wear, is signalled reliably. In spite of
this the pump remains leak-tight and
operation can continue for a limited
period of time.

Diaphragm pumps with metal dia-

phragms are used when high
pressures or temperatures must be
handled or for high diffusion
resistance e. g. nuclear technology.
For maximum security and long
diaphragm life, the deflection of the
diaphragm is positively limited in
both directions, so that faulty
operation cannot cause diaphragm
overlaod. Additional safety is
provided by the sandwich diaphragm
with diaphragm monitoring system
at pressures up to 1200 bar.
