Pumping low viscosity liquids

05 August 2013

Unlike the majority of pump types, Hydra-Cell seal-less, multiple diaphragm pumps are designed to handle liquid viscosities from 0.1 cps to 20,000 cps with ease.

Hydra-Cell pumps have no dynamic seals and consequently no potential leak paths. They do not require lubrication from the pumped liquid, which makes them wear resistant and able to maintain pumping efficiency over a lifetime, with little maintenance. These pumps can operate at up to 170 bar pressure without significant flow rate loss.


Some pump types depend on the pumped fluid for internal sealing and therefore pumping efficiency. The lower the viscosity of the pumped liquid, the less efficient the pump. Because Hydra-Cell requires no internal sealing the liquid viscosity has little or no effect on pumping efficiency.

Hydra-Cell’s multiple diaphragm design ensures virtually pulseless flow removing the need for pulsation dampeners.
