The general industrial sector, a cornerstone of any economy, is a diverse landscape of operations from manufacturing and construction to mining and waste management to an extent. In these environments, the fluid transfer systems are the lifeblood of productivity. However, downtime and costly maintenance can significantly impact operational efficiency and profitability.

That said, choosing the right equipment is makes for an ideal strategic business decision.  After all, maximising efficiency in the industrial sector is more than just fast fluid transfer; it is about choosing durable, low-maintenance equipment that can perform reliably under harsh conditions. That is why a robust diaphragm pump is an essential to handle a variety of fluids—from corrosive chemicals to abrasive slurries—without the risk of failure that plagues traditional pumping systems.

For this, leading diaphragm pump manufacturer, Ovell Pump provides high-performance solutions that are specifically engineered to optimise operational costs and ensure reliability. We offer pneumatic diaphragm pumps designed for maximum uptime, helping businesses boost productivity and achieve long-term cost savings in even the most demanding applications.

Features That Drive Industrial Performance

Ovell's diaphragm pumps are built with a suite of features that directly address the pain points of the general industrial sector. These capabilities ensure that our pumps are not just a piece of equipment but a strategic asset that enhances efficiency and reduces overall costs.

• ‍Submersible Capability: Ovell's pumps can be fully submerged in fluid, allowing them to handle dewatering tasks in trenches, sumps, or pits without the need for external priming systems. This feature simplifies installation and operation, especially in flooded environments or underwater settings.‍
• Self-Priming: The inherent design of our diaphragm pumps allows them to self-prime from a dry start, even with a strong suction lift. This eliminates the manual effort and time required to prime a pump, making them ideal for intermittent fluid transfer and unpredictable applications.‍
• Portable Design: Our air powered diaphragm pump and electric double diaphragm pump models are often compact and lightweight. This portability allows for easy transport across large and different worksites, making them perfect on-the-go application equipment such as deconstruction and mobile filtration units.‍
• Run-Dry Capable: The absence of rotating parts and seals that rely on fluid for lubrication means our diaphragm pump can operate indefinitely without fluid in the system. This crucial feature prevents costly damage in dewatering applications where fluid levels fluctuate, extending the pump's lifespan and reducing repair costs.‍
• No Heat Generation: Since our double diaphragm pump and other models are often powered by compressed air rather than electricity, they do not generate heat. This makes them intrinsically safe for use in hazardous, potentially dangerous environments where flammable liquids or gases are present, which can trigger conflagration and explosions.‍
• Easy Installation: Our pumps do not require complex electrical setups or variable frequency drives (VFDs). A simple connection of air or fluid lines is all that's needed to get the pump running, saving you time and money from going for complex installations and reducing the need for contacting technicians. ‍ The flow rate can be easily adjusted by simply regulating the air pressure, providing full control with a more reliable and cost-effective method.‍
• Low-Maintenance/Easy to Maintain: With no mechanical seals, couplings, or motors in contact with the fluid, Ovell diaphragm pumps have fewer wearing parts than traditional pumps. The simple design of our diaphragm pump allows for quick, straightforward maintenance, which minimises downtime and labour costs. This translates to a longer Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). Additionally, we have pumps that are corrosion resistance, adding to their life expectancy.‍
• Longest MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): The robust construction and simple, reliable design of Ovell's industrial diaphragm pumps result in a long operational life with minimal interruptions. A high MTBF is a direct indicator of a pump’s reliability and its ability to contribute to consistent production without unexpected failures.‍
• Strong Suction Lift: The powerful suction capabilities of our diaphragm pumps enable them to draw fluid from significant depths or distances, making it highly effective in emptying tanks, sumps, or filtration vats. This strong suction lift enhances efficiency and flexibility in system design.‍

Key Applications Across the General Industrial Sector

Ovell pumps make for great workhorses in the general industrial sector, providing reliable and efficient fluid management across a range of vital applications.

• ‍Deconstruction: In deconstruction projects, contractors must deal with a variety of liquids, including dirty water, wastewater, and sludge. The portable and self-priming nature of our diaphragm pump makes it perfect for quickly moving these fluids away from the worksite. Its ability to handle solids and run dry ensures it can manage unpredictable conditions without getting damaged.‍
• Dewatering: One of the most common industrial applications is dewatering worksites, quarries, or mines. The strong suction lift and run-dry capabilities of our pumps are essential for this task. An air powered diaphragm pump can be deployed to remove groundwater, rainwater, or abrasive slurries, ensuring a safe and stable working environment. The durability of our diaphragm pump allows it to handle the solids and debris often found in these fluids without a decrease in performance.‍
• Loading and Unloading: From transferring bulk chemicals to loading and unloading viscous oils and fuels, Ovell's diaphragm pumps are safe and reliable choices. For instance, a 2 inch diaphragm pump is ideal for higher volume transfer, while the sealless design of a chemical diaphragm pump prevents leaks and protects workers from hazardous materials.‍
• Filtration: In many industrial processes, filtration is a crucial step for purifying liquids or separating solids from a fluid stream. We offer pumps which can be used to feed filter presses and circulate liquids within filtration systems. The gentle, low-shear pumping action is perfect for transferring the contents without damaging the filter media. For a precision-driven application, a diaphragm metering pump can be used to add flocculants or other treatment chemicals to a filtration process with consistent accuracy.‍
• General Utility and Maintenance: The versatility of our pumps makes them invaluable for general utility tasks. Whether it’s an electric diaphragm pump for a fixed fluid transfer line or a portable unit for emergency situations, they are essential for tasks like transferring lubricants, emptying sumps, and cleaning spills. For example, a pneumatic powder diaphragm pump can also be used to transfer dry powders in some industrial settings.
