DAYTON 6PY44 Double Diaphragm Pump, Air, Aluminum, Bolt, 1 in Fluid Connection Size

Dayton 6PY44 double diaphragm pump is a type of positive displacement pump that utilises two flexible diaphragms to move fluid. It is used in the chemical processing, wastewater treatment, food and beverage and pharmaceuticals industries.

Working Mechanism:

• This double diaphragm pump operates by utilising two flexible diaphragms that move back and forth in a synchronised manner.
• As one diaphragm contracts, the volume in one chamber decreases, creating suction and drawing fluid into the pump.
• Simultaneously, the other diaphragm expands, displacing the fluid out of the pump.
• This alternating action creates a continuous flow of fluid, with each diaphragm cycle responsible for both intake and discharge.
• The diaphragms are driven by compressed air or other suitable power sources for efficient and versatile operation in various industrial and fluid transfer applications.

Features:

• Dayton 6PY44 double diaphragm pump features aluminium housing material for durability and resistance to corrosion.
• It has Buna-N diaphragms and valves, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of fluids including corrosive and abrasive substances.
• This Dayton 6PY44 double diaphragm pump offers a single port manifold connection to simplify installation and maintenance.
• It further features a self-priming design for easy startup and operation without external assistance.
• This Dayton double diaphragm pump has a continuous duty cycle, ensuring reliable performance even under prolonged use.
• It offers a maximum discharge pressure of 100 psi, suitable for demanding pumping tasks.
• This Dayton 6PY44 double diaphragm pump comes with a ball valve for precise control over fluid flow.
• It includes a bottom media intake and top media discharge location for facilitating efficient fluid transfer.
• This double diaphragm pump includes a bolt assembly for easy disassembly and maintenance.
