QUANTUM-Argalair-Argal

Product catalog summary

Introduction
QUANTUM pumps are the latest air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps by Argal, designed for optimized performance and sustainability. Constructed from UPPE and PTFE, these pumps offer high chemical resistance and mechanical strength, suitable for pumping hard chemical liquids.

Materials
PTFE is a fluoroplastic polymer with unlimited chemical resistance, suitable for handling acids, mixtures, and basic acids at temperatures up to 100°C. UPPE is a thermoplastic polymer with high abrasion resistance, handling temperatures from -40°C to +70°C.

Applications
QUANTUM pumps are versatile, operating as transfer pumps for corrosive and non-corrosive liquids, high or low viscosity fluids, and those containing solids or abrasive particles. They are applicable in industries such as chemical, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, surface treatments, water treatments, paper and printing, and photovoltaics.

Main Characteristics
Key features include run-dry capability, self-priming, no power use, variable flow and pressure, free-fastening diaphragms, dead-head operation, ATEX conformity, easy maintenance, reduced air consumption, and no ice formation. They can handle inlet pressures up to 7 bar.

Technical Data
The DDQ series includes models DDQ 60, DDQ 160, and DDQ 400, with varying specifications for flow rate, pressure, and dimensions. All models are designed for efficient operation with reduced noise levels and easy maintenance.

Innovative Components
QUANTUM pumps feature free-fastening diaphragms for easy maintenance and safety, a free ice formation system to prevent efficiency loss, and a smart air distribution system (PADS) for significant air consumption reduction. The discharge system ensures complete liquid removal, enhancing operativity and functionality.

Security System
The pumps offer enhanced security by preventing pumped liquid from returning to the air supply line if the diaphragm breaks, ensuring operator and equipment safety.

QUANTUM are the new original AODD pumps made by Argal. They offer, in addition to optimised performance, a great equilibrium between efficiency and sustainability. Thanks to the solid-block construction made of the thermoplastic polymer UPPE and fluoro-polymer PTFE, these new members of the family have a very high chemical resistance and mechanical strength, allowing the pumping of all hard chemical liquids. Inside QUANTUM, the liquid pumped is directly and linearly dragged to the central casing, reducing friction and loss, with no manifold needed. Beyond the robustness, the pumps ensure an air...

QUANTUM’S PLUS INNOVATIVE COMPONENTS DOUBLE DIAPHRAGM The QUANTUM pumps construction also included free-fastening diaphragms. This allows easy maintenance, more safety while pumping aggressive liquids and important reduction of air consumption. It’s possible to disassemble the valves for maintenance without disassembling the entire pump already onsite. FREE ICE FORMATION SYSTEM SMART PADS It is known that AODD pumps are usually suffering from ice formation in the distribution system. The QUANTUM pumps are an innovative solution allowing to redirect exhausted air, at low temperature, towards the...
