Diaphragm Pumps - Robust Positive-Displacement Technology for Maximum Process Reliability

Diaphragm pumps are the all-around workhorses of modern pumping technology. As oscillating positive-displacement pumps, they hermetically isolate the pumped medium from the drive mechanism via an elastic diaphragm. This guarantees absolutely leak-free pumping, which is essential especially for toxic, abrasive, or highly viscous substances.

Harton Anlagentechnik GmbH designs diaphragm pumps for you in a variety of configurations—from the classic double-diaphragm pump to the high-precision multi-diaphragm pump. Our engineers rely on materials and valve technologies that are precisely tailored to your specific service life requirements and pressure conditions in the chemical, pharmaceutical, or environmental technology sectors.

Why Choose Diaphragm Pumps from Harton Anlagentechnik GmbH?

Hermetic Sealing for Hazardous and Sensitive Substances
Thanks to their design, our diaphragm pumps offer 100% protection against external leaks. Our in-house engineers recommend this technology specifically for environmentally hazardous chemicals or in applications where shaft seals (and the associated leaks) cannot be tolerated.
Excellent tolerance to solids and wear resistance
Whether dealing with suspensions or slurry-like media, the valve geometries of our pumps are designed so that solids do not impair their operation. By selecting highly resistant elastomers, we achieve above-average maintenance intervals even with abrasive media.
Versatility Across All Industries
Harton Anlagentechnik GmbH's expertise spans numerous key industries:

  • Chemical Industry: Safe transfer of acids, alkalis, and solvents.
  • Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics: Shear-sensitive handling of emulsions and active ingredients.
  • Water & wastewater management: Dosing of polymers and handling of primary sludge.
  • Paints & Coatings: Handling of pigment-rich and solvent-containing fluids.

Focus on Media and Process Materials

Our engineers validate each diaphragm pump for your specific fluid:
Abrasive Fluids:
Use of specially hardened valve seats and reinforced diaphragm cores for media such as lime slurry or ceramic slurry.
Shear-sensitive media:
Thanks to its gentle displacement action, the structure of polymers or food products is not damaged.
Chemically aggressive substances:
All-plastic housings (PVDF/PTFE) guarantee corrosion resistance in concentrated acids.
Gas-carrying media:
Due to their design, diaphragm pumps are not affected by gas entrapment and are not prone to cavitation damage like centrifugal pumps.

Materials, Durability, and Engineering

The choice of materials determines the cost-effectiveness of your system. We offer:

Housing materials: PP, PVDF, cast aluminum, stainless steel, or duplex steels.
Diaphragm technologies: EPDM, NBR, FKM (Viton), and solid PTFE diaphragms for universal resistance.
Valve designs: Ball or butterfly valves, depending on the viscosity and particle content of the medium.

Seals, Interfaces, and Plant Safety

Safety is Harton's top priority. Our diaphragm pump designs include:

  • Diaphragm rupture monitoring: Optional sensors detect defects early on and prevent media from entering the drive compartment.
  • Dry-run protection: Since there are no sliding seals in contact with the fluid, dry running for extended periods is not a concern.
  • Connections: Flange connections according to DIN/ANSI or hygienic clamp connections.

Types and Varieties of Diaphragm Pumps

Pneumatic Diaphragm Pumps
Air-operated diaphragm pumps use air as a driving force to move the diaphragms back and forth. These pumps are particularly robust and are ideal for use in potentially explosive atmospheres or with flammable fluids, as they do not require an electrical power source. Air-operated diaphragm pumps are highly energy-efficient and can be used in virtually any industry where liquids with medium to high viscosity or corrosive chemicals need to be pumped.
