diaphragm pump
A diaphragm pump is a type of positive displacement pump that moves liquids using a flexible diaphragm that alternately compresses and expands. This movement creates a vacuum that draws fluid into a chamber, then pushes it out when the diaphragm returns to its original shape. The pump's design allows it to handle a wide range of fluids, including those with abrasives or chemicals, without contamination. It provides precise flow control and can operate in various orientations, making it suitable for applications like chemical processing, water treatment, and pharmaceuticals.
