R&D The Process begins in our state of the art Research and Development department. Using an array of high-tech equipment alongside the old fashioned proven methods we can accurately gauge the performance and reliability of our pumps, ensuring we are staying at the top of our game. ASSEMBLY With 20,000 square foot of manufacturing lines Charles Austen Pumps efficiently constructs our pumps primarily by hand. Pumps are then tested to secure that each of them leave the factory as reliable as we designed them to be, following the ISO 9001 quality standard. TOOLMAKING With 10 members of staff...

The major advantage of the diaphragm pump is that the pumping chamber is totally sealed and, therefore, does not require a sliding seal between moving parts. Vacuum and pressure are produced by the flexing of the diaphragm back and forth in the chamber. ROCKING PISTON ROTARY DIAPHRAGM The patented rotary diaphragm technology is a revolutionary pumping principle. The flow of liquid is initiated by an eccentrically mounted bearing on a drive shaft which revolves within a flexible diaphragm. As the shaft rotates, the bearing flexes the diaphragm, squeezing liquid through the pump. This simple...

This simple yet efficient pumping principle uses a magnetically operated diaphragm. This works by flexing a diaphragm at one, or both ends of the connecting rod within a totally sealed pumping chamber. This eliminates sliding parts keeping wear, tear and power consumption to a minimum. • 8 - 60 L/MIN • VACUUM: DOWN TO 800 MBAR ABS • PRESSURE: UP TO 0.3 BAR WHY CHOOSE LINEAR DIAPHRAGM TECHNOLOGY? • Exceptionally long life. APPLICATIONS INCLUDE • Continuous duty. • Whisper quiet, minimal vibration. • CUFF INFLATION • FOOT SPA’S • Maintenance free. • FUEL CELL MANUFACTURE • ODOUR NEUTRALISERS

ROCKING PISTON Rocking piston pumps combine the higher performance of a piston pump with the simplicity of a diaphragm pump in a small economic unit. The piston is fixed rigidly to the top of the connecting rod. The pumps are capable of operating continuously with a minimum of maintenance and offer high performance, particularly pressure, within a compact package. • 10 - 100 L/MIN • VACUUM: DOWN TO 30 MBAR ABS • PRESSURE: UP TO 8 BAR WHY CHOOSE ROCKING PISTON TECHNOLOGY? • Oil free pumping. APPLICATIONS INCLUDE • SANDBLAST EQUIPMENT • High pressure output. • PAINT SPRAYING • Suitable for...
