Air-operated diaphragm pumps are positive displacement pumps commonly used to transfer chemicals, oils, wastewater, slurries, and other challenging fluids. Their air-powered operation and adaptable construction make them useful in many industrial process applications.
DAC Worldwide’s Air-Operated Diaphragm Pump Dissectible (275-180) is a restored, full-size industrial pump that supports hands-on training in pump construction, operation, inspection, disassembly, and maintenance. Industrial pumps from recognized manufacturers such as Wilden, ARO, Price, and others are selected for workplace relevance.
The dissectible gives learners direct access to the internal and external components of an actual air-operated diaphragm pump. Primary operating features are retained, and replacement hardware is provided where necessary to support repeated instructional use.
Technical training is most effective when learners can work with the same types of equipment they may encounter on the job. This dissectible helps students understand how compressed air drives the pump and how its diaphragms, air-distribution components, fluid chambers, manifolds, and check-valve components work together.
Learners can use the dissectible to explore a typical maintenance sequence:
Specific pump make, model, configuration, and appearance may vary according to the industrial component supplied.
The restored pump is mounted on a 7-gauge, powder-coated, formed-steel baseplate. The modular baseplate can be used on a benchtop or mounted on compatible DAC Worldwide workstation, display, and storage products.
Where necessary, the equipment is cleaned, primed, and painted using a high-durability urethane coating. An applicable installation and maintenance manual from the original manufacturer is also provided when available.
