Expert Solutions for Critical Applications ALMATEC Market Brochure Where Innovation Flows AIR-OPERATED DOUBLE-DIAPHRAGM PUMPS

Almatec® Maschinenbau GmbH is a premier manufacturer of air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps. Headquartered in Kamp-Lintfort, Germany, Almatec is a product brand within PSG®, Oakbrook Terrace, IL, USA, a Dover company. With a reputation for engineering excellence that spans more than three decades, the Almatec name has become synonymous with quality, reliability and safety. This reputation will continue to grow thanks to an affiliation with PSG, making Almatec a global powerhouse within the AODD pump market. Since it was founded in 1984, Almatec has continued to redefine what a state-of-the-art...

Process Almatec's air-operated diaphragm pumps are the pumps the chemical, semiconductor, paint and coatings, and paper and printing industries turn to when they demand safety, quality and reliability for their respective applications. Almatec pumps conform to the ATEX directive, making them suitable for use with flammable liquids and environments with an explosive atmosphere. Hygienic Almatec's pumps meet the highest standards for processes in the biopharmaceuticals industry as well as in the food and beverage industry, complying with EHEDG, EC1935, FDA and USP Class VI standards (depending...

Applications The fields of application include chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and beverage, ceramics, surface treatment, emergency services, power plants, refineries, mechanical engineering, textile industry, water processing, waste disposal, paper industry, electronics, solar industry. Compatible liquids include sludges, acids, alkalis, solvents, slurries, emulsions, mixtures of liquids and solids, resins, powders, aqueous solutions. These liquids may be of high or low viscosity, abrasive, thixotropic, hazardous, toxic, non- lubricating, hot, cold, coagulating, shear sensitive,...

Semiconductor Industry The production of semiconductors places especially high demands on a pump. In addition to the special challenges posed by the fairly high temperatures sometimes encountered, particularly for plastics, terms like purity and safety gain a whole new meaning. The completely metal-free Almatec FUTUR pump series is an essential requirement in this case. The supply of high-purity chemicals and their circulation and filtration, as well as the pumping of abrasive slurries and solvents are typical areas of application in the semiconductor industry. Examples of high-purity chemicals...

Paint and Varnish Industry To pump paint and varnish, a pump generally needs to conform to the ATEX directive. The ATEX versions of the Almatec CHEMICOR line of metal pumps meet these requirements. For UV varnishes, there are E-SERIES pumps made of conductive plastic available. Due to the high pressures encountered, Almatec high pressure diaphragm pumps made of stainless steel (AH-S) are used in painting systems where there is only one pump as a central supply. The time required to clean the pump when changing colors is just as low as the amount of cleaning agent needed for cleaning. E-SERIES,...

E-SERIES, CHEMICOR Paper Industry In the paper and printing industries, air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps are primarily used to transport glues and printing inks. In many cases, a glue application pump of average size and made of PE from the E-SERIES is used. In the case of printing inks, Almatec pumps with a draining system offer numerous advantages. The colors must not be allowed to mix during a color change. The draining system allows the pump and pipeline to be emptied without disassembly. The color flows back into the supply container (saving money), and the amount of cleaning agent...
