A revolutionary valve, designed to significantly increase the life of PTFE diaphragms in all air-operated diaphragm pumps has been launched by leading pump manufacturer, Crane.
The innovative, DEPA Slow Start Valve reduces wear/downtime by controlling start-up speeds, thus decreasing shock and stress levels placed upon equipment. A simple adjustment allows air to gently feed into the pump increasing diaphragm life and assisting suction lift.
UK Sales Manager, David Lindsay, commented, “The DEPA Slow Start Valve allows operators to gently feed compressed air into the pumps, eliminating shock, material stress and sudden pressure pulses. This significantly reduces wear on the diaphragms, particularly when the pumps are empty and allows for longer operational life times of all air-operated pumps.
“Installation is easy, and can be retro-fitted to existing installations. Many of our current customers across a wide range of industries are now realising the financial and operational benefits of the new valve as it can be used across all applications and brands.”
The Slow Start Valve offers full Atex compliance for use in hazardous conditions, is compact and lightweight to allow for easy fitting in existing applications.
