Pressure Control for Industrial Fluid Transfer

In complex industrial environments, standard fluid transfer often falls short when high discharge pressure or consistent pressure monitoring is mandatory. Achieving high pressure usually requires large, expensive external boosters or complex pneumatic controls, adding cost and complexity to the process line. Ovell Pump addresses this gap with the booster diaphragm pump, a specialised positive displacement solution engineered to seamlessly integrate pressure amplification and real-time stability monitoring into a single, compact unit. This innovation is critical for processes that require precise force application, reliable dosing, and total material containment across numerous sectors. This unit is a sophisticated evolution of the standard pneumatic diaphragm pump design.

Integrated Pressure Amplification

The booster diaphragm pump is distinguished by its integrated air multiplier, which mechanically increases the output pressure without requiring an external compressed air system booster. This design eliminates the need for deliberate control over the incoming air source pressure, simplifying setup and operation across the facility.

Key features and functional advantages include:

  • Infinitely Adjustable Pressure Multiplier: The booster multiplier can be adjusted from 1 to 2 times the incoming air pressure, providing a flexible and powerful means of achieving higher discharge pressures necessary for challenging applications.
  • Real-Time Pressure Monitoring: A built-in dial displays the pressure value, allowing operators to monitor and stabilize the output pressure value in real time. This immediate feedback is vital for consistent process quality and safety, particularly when using other specialty pumps like the flap valve diaphragm pump for high-solids media or the pneumatic powder pump for dry material feed systems.
  • Simple and Convenient Deployment: The unit is designed for simple installation and enhanced portability, meaning it is ready to use without debugging and can be easily moved to different process locations as needed.

This combination of features ensures that the pump is not only powerful but also integrates smoothly into existing operations with minimal configuration time. The principle of the booster diaphragm pump offers a targeted upgrade over general-purpose equipment like the aluminium air diaphragm pump in high-pressure scenarios. As a leading diaphragm pump manufacturer, Ovell ensures all components meet high quality standards.

Economical Design and Maintenance

From an operational standpoint, the booster diaphragm pump is engineered to be an economical and practical investment. Its integrated design and robust components contribute significantly to a reduced total cost of ownership compared to pieced-together pressure solutions. As an industrial diaphragm pump, its reliability is key to cost saving.

Operational advantages for businesses include:

  • Cost Efficiency: Under normal circumstances, the operational cost is typically only one tenth of the traditional equipment required to achieve similar pressure amplification, providing substantial savings.
  • Simplified Maintenance: The pump is engineered for simple maintenance, minimizing downtime and the need for specialized personnel.
  • Reduced Complexity: By integrating the multiplier and monitoring systems, the need for supplementary equipment, complex piping, and additional monitoring sensors is drastically reduced. This streamlined approach aligns with the low-maintenance design philosophy found across Ovell's product range. Customers appreciate the option for an electric double diaphragm pump for high efficiency in other applications.
Protecting Product Integrity and Operational Safety

Beyond pressure generation, the design of the booster diaphragm pump is dedicated to preserving the quality of the transferred material and ensuring a safe working environment. This is achieved through engineering choices focused on containment and gentle handling, a principle shared with Ovell's sanitary FDA diaphragm pump and the low-pulsation electric diaphragm pump.

The pump solves critical material and safety problems by offering:

  • Superior Containment: The design features good sealing, ensuring no leakage of materials in the whole process, which is mandatory when handling hazardous, volatile, or high-value chemicals. This feature is particularly vital in the oil & Gas industry. Companies seeking a robust chemical diaphragm pump often turn to the booster for its containment features.
  • Preservation of Material Integrity: The operation ensures slight agitation to avoid material heating. Importantly, there is no spark and no heat generated during operation, making it safe for flammable materials often handled by the stainless steel air diaphragm pump.
  • Reduced Shear Force: The pump maintains the integrity and initial state of the material to the greatest extent possible due to minimal shearing force. This is crucial for sheer-sensitive materials in Paints and Coatings and Adhesives and Sealants. This performance is typical of a high-quality diaphragm pump.
  • Optimised Components: The optimised diaphragm and ball valve components provide reliable performance and longer life, contributing to the pump's overall economical operation. The reliability of these diaphragms echoes the robust design found in the diaphragm pulse dampener, which protects downstream systems.

The focus on safe, contained, high-pressure operation makes the booster diaphragm pump an indispensable tool in sensitive manufacturing processes.

Focused Industrial Deployment

The specialized utility of the booster diaphragm pump continues to provide targeted solutions in high-specification manufacturing areas. This versatile air powered diaphragm pump addresses demanding applications where traditional equipment struggles.

  • Hygiene & Pharmaceuticals:
    • Problem Solved: Transferring high-viscosity detergents, disinfectants, or purified solvents into pressurised cleaning systems or reactors that demand consistent force.
    • Function: While the FDA diaphragm pump handles sanitary material transfer, the booster pump is used in utility applications to deliver agents at controlled, elevated pressures required for efficient cleaning and sterilisation protocols.
  • Ceramics:
    • Problem Solved: Utilised to pump ceramic slips and glazes against high filter press pressures, ensuring consistency in density and viscosity before firing.
    • Function: The booster capability provides the necessary force to overcome the resistance of the filter press, which is critical for maintaining consistency in material feed and finished product quality. This differentiates it from a simpler 2 inch diaphragm pump.
  • Packaging:
    • Problem Solved: Filling high-viscosity products (e.g., gels, thick sauces) into containers at rapid, accurate rates that demand constant pressure throughout the batching cycle.
    • Function: The stable output pressure ensures volumetric accuracy and speed consistency across the production line, minimizing giveaway and maximizing efficiency for materials that require force to flow quickly.
