Zephyrus Series Diaphragm Pump
– Introduction
The Zephyrus series diaphragm pump is constructed using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
making it corrosion resistant and ideal for processing corrosive gases commonly used by
the pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries. It is specifically designed to easily work in
environments where suction filtration, vacuum distillation, rotary evaporation, vacuum
concentration, centrifugal concentration, solid phase extraction, and the like are required.
3.1 Main Features
3.1.1 Strong Chemical Corrosion
Resistance
The Zephyrus series corrosion-resistant pump uses a PTFE to coat all surfaces that in
contact with the processed gas/liquids. These include the specially designed PTFE coated
diaphragm and pump head, joint fixtures, and pipelines. Additionally, all electrical
components and chassis are also solid PTFE or PTFE coated.
3.1.2 Non-Polluting and Maintenance Free
The Zephyrus series diaphragm pump can completely recover and separate solvents used
in the processing, thereby eliminating environmental pollution. The Zephyrus series
diaphragm pumps are water/oil-free dry pumps
and are ideal for use in “clean rooms” and
low noise environments. The pumps are designed for very low maintenance.
3.1.3 Low Noise and Low Vibration
The Zephyrus series diaphragm pumps use a direct drive power transmission plus a low
noise diaphragm that operates at or below 70 decibels.
3.1.4 Overheat Protection
The Zephyrus series diaphragm pumps are equipped with thermal protection sensors that
stop processing if excessive heating occurs. The process will automatically be restarted
after the system cools.
