Compact Bellows Pumps

Product catalog summary
Overview:
GRI Compact Bellows Pumps are designed for metering applications with low discharge pressures, suitable for use in photo, X-ray, dental film processors, silver recovery, and scientific instruments. These pumps utilize GRI's bellows and valving technology, offering chemical resistance and long life.
Specifications:
  • Flow Rates: 3.8 ml/min to 1620 ml/min, with tandem flow rates up to 3000 ml/min.
  • Max Discharge Pressure: 5 psi.
  • Max Fluid Temperatures: Up to 140°F (60°C), with pressure ratings reduced by 50% for temperatures over 120°F (49°C).
  • Viscosity/Slurries: Handles up to 5,000 centistokes.
Operation:
The pumps operate on a positive displacement principle, with motor-driven linear motion compressing the bellows to move fluid through check valves. Multiple bellows modules can be used for proportioning different fluids, with independent flow rate adjustments.
Flow Rates and Adjustments:
Flow rates depend on bellows diameter, motor speed, and stroke length. The stroke length can be adjusted for optimal priming and metering accuracy.
Materials:
  • Connectors: Polypropylene.
  • O-Rings: EPT/EPDM or Viton®/Fluoroelastomer.
  • Bellows: Standard Polypropylene.
Pump Selection Guide:
Selection involves choosing the appropriate bellows module and motor RPM combination, base model configuration, motor voltage/RPM, and tubing connectors. Charts are provided for detailed selection.
Options:
Motors are available in various speeds and voltages, with options for microswitches and cork brakes. Poppet and duckbill valves are available in different elastomers for specific chemical handling needs.
Accessories:
Check and foot valves maintain pump prime and prevent backflow. Anti-siphon spring kits are available for positive shutoff in applications with positive suction pressure.
Replacement Kits:
Several kits are detailed, including duckbill valve kits, poppet valve kits, tubing connector kits, and bellows module kits. Each kit includes specific components such as valves, O-rings, connectors, and screws.
Ordering Information:
The document provides part numbers for ordering replacement kits, categorized by T-Code and bellows size. It also includes instructions for ordering through local GRI distributors.
Dimensions and Assembly:
Detailed dimensions are provided for the pumps, with measurements in both inches and millimeters. An exploded view of the compact bellows metering pump is included, highlighting key components and assembly instructions.
Important Notes:
The document advises against adding lubricant to any pump mechanism and specifies torque requirements for motor shaft assembly.

Flow Rates: The flow rate of each pump is regulated by three factors: 3. Adjustment of the module stroke length. The full stroke displacement and discharge pressure of the pump is dependent on the size of the bellows as shown below. If higher discharge pressure is required, please consult factory for an OEM solution.* Flow Adjustment: The K2” and 34” bellows modules can be adjusted to 20% of maximum stroke length, while 1”, 1-1/2” and 2” bellows modules can be adjusted down to 10% of maximum stroke. Note: Best priming and metering accuracy occurs when the stroke length is 50% or greater. Standard...

4. Using Chart D, select appropriate F-Code according to each bellow’s module size, valve type and elastomer. Note: The largest bellows module will be configured closest to the motor. 5. Using Chart E, select one T-Code for each F-Code chosen from Chart D. 6. Optional: Place desired H-Code from Chart F at end of model number. Without an H-Code, the pump will be have exposed motor and bare wire leads. GRI Compact Bellows Pumps Overview 0220
