In industrial water-treatment applications, the Almatec pneumatic diaphragm pumps are used for the following tasks, among others: taking samples for analysis around the clock, wastewater neutralization and feeding filter presses with sludge. While sample-taking and the proportioning of neutralization chemicals are done primarily using E-SERIES and CHEMICOR pumps, the Almatec high pressure pumps....
In the paper and printing industry, air-operated diaphragm pumps are primarily used to transport glues and printing inks. In many cases, a glue application pump of average size and made of PE from the E-SERIES is used. In the case of printing inks, Almatec pumps with a draining system offer numerous advantages. The colors must not be allowed to mix during a color change. The draining system....
The process chemicals used in surface technology place high requirements on materials and technologies used in the equipment operated in this industry. The media transported range from highly concentrated acids and bases to abrasive slurries. Pumps from the Almatec E-SERIES line are used in this case to pump etching agents as well as in grinding and drilling emulsions. Sludge can be compacted for....
To pump paint and varnish, a pump generally needs to conform to the ATEX directive. The ATEX versions of the Almatec CHEMICOR line of metal pumps meet these requirements. For UV varnishes, there are E-SERIES pumps made of conductive plastic available. Due to the high pressures encountered, Almatec high pressure diaphragm pumps made of stainless steel (AH-S) are used in painting systems where....
The term hygienic refers in particular to sterile processes used in the biopharmaceutical industry. Examples of products handled in these applications include active pharmaceutical and biotechnical ingredients, cosmetics, and live cultures. The pumps used in these sterile applications must meet corresponding hygienic standards (EHEDG, 3A, FDA, USP Class VI) and require SIP and CIP capabilities.....
In the ceramic industry, pumps are needed to transport sludge and glazes, among other uses. An important criterion in the selection of a suitable pump in this case is the abrasion-resistance of the pump materials. An optional material in the solidly constructed Almatec E-SERIES is polyethylene. Studies conducted when utilizing the sand slurry method have confirmed that PE has an abrasion....
The production of semiconductors places especially high demands on a pump. In addition to the special challenges posed by the fairly high temperatures sometimes encountered, particularly for plastics, terms like purity and safety gain a whole new meaning. The completely metal-free Almatec FUTUR pump series is an essential requirement in this case. The supply of high-purity chemicals and their....
The value of the solar or photovoltaic industry in the world economy is increasing rapidly due to the growing importance of renewable energies. The ALMATEC E-SERIES air-operated diaphragm pumps, which do not use any metal on their exterior, are considered to be especially well suited for use in the manufacture of silicon solar cells (wafers) in particular. Possible areas of application in this....

The chemical industry (including the pharmaceuticals industry) is one of the classic areas of application for ALMATEC pneumatic diaphragm pumps. Their outstanding characteristics (safety, quality, reliability, solid construction, self-priming and dry-operation capabilities, etc.) play a large role in the transportation of media that often exhibit corrosive, hazardous, toxic, or explosive....
