Installation capabilities

A variety of applications

Lutz Double Diaphragm Pumps aredesigned for a variety of industrial applications. Stationary or mobile installation
The pump can be installed either permanentlyor so that they can be transported from one point of application to another as required. Liquids can be pumped from drums and portable or fixed tanks to other containers, or to specific appli- cation locations. Self-priming Submerged operation Self-priming withportable containers Flooded suction
The pumps can also be operated whensubmerged. Care should be taken with respect to the materials in contact with the liquid, and that the air outlet is above the liquid level. When the liquid level is above the suction of thepump, the pump suction is considered positive or flooded. Under this condition the intake can be regulated by a suitably sized valve. When the suction is below the level of the li-quid, the pump has to prime the medium. In dry conditions, the Lutz double diaphragm pumps will prime to 4.5 m wc. If the suction pipe is filled, a suction head up to 9 m wc can be reached.When pumping abrasive, dense and/or highlyviscous liquids from drums and containers, the Lutz double diaphragm pumps are ideally suited. To facilitate this applications, the 1/2" and 1" sizes can be supplied with suction pipe and adapter.
