WORKING PRINCIPLE
Pneumatic double membrane pumps for industrial pumping of
liquids and highly corrosive and aggressive acids.
Characterised by their high performance, high power and sturdiness, which make them suitable for pumping liquids with high
viscosity, including in the presence of suspended solids. They
meet the working needs of the chemical, textile, food, ecological, graphics, tanning, ceramics, electronics, galvanic, oil, paint,
biodiesel, urea pumping and other industries
TECHNICAL DATA
B
The compressed air introduced by the pneumatic exchanger
behind one of the two diaphragms generates compression and
pushes the product into the delivery duct, at the same time, the
opposing diaphragm that is integral with the exchanger shaft
creates a vacuum and intakes the fluid.
Once the stroke has been completed, the pneumatic exchanger diverts the
compressed air behind the opposing diaphragm and the cycle is reversed.

DESCRIPTION
C
OF THE EQUIPMENT
The LARIUS 4 pump is a double diahragm pneumatic pump to be used for transfer of low and medium
viscosity uids.
It is essentially composed of two chambers which are
placed on suctio and on delivery alternatively thanks to
the action of two membranes in teon connected to a
shaft in reciprocating traverse motion. The reciprocating
motion is obtained through a proper compressed air
driver reversal device (pilot valve).

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTION
I
Problem
•The pump does not start up
• The pump has accelerated opera-
tion and does not suck the product
•The pump stalled continuously
Cause
• Feed air not sufficient;
• Outlet product line clogged;
• Clogged product intake line;
• The membrane has ruptured;
• The drive valve has locked;
• There is no product;
• The pump sucks air;
• The “balls” do not close perfectly;
•
The feed air is insufcient.
Solution
• Check the air supply line. Increase
the feed hose diameter;
• Clean. Detach the product outfeed
hose Power the pump at minimum
pressure and check if the pump
starts without the outfeed hose;
• Check the hose and the intake lter.
Clean;
• Replace the membrane;
• Press the reset buttons located at
the sides of the valve;
• Add the product;
• Check the suction pipe;
• Remove and clean and/or replace
the balls and ball seats;
• Check the air supply line. Increase
the feed hose diameter;
• Check that the parts of the air feed
circuit guarantee a sufcient ow
rate (the quick-couplings cause
pressure drops).
