The 10 benefits of an electric diaphragm pump

Would you like to eliminate unnecessary pump and costly failures? Do you want to create a quieter and cleaner work environment? Look no further than Graco’s QUANTM electric double diaphragm pump (EODD), the most energy-efficient and technologically advanced electric diaphragm pump on the market. Take a look at its exclusive features.

1. Stalls under pressure (UNIQUE)
One of the key advantages of the QUANTM EODD pump is that it seamlessly and instantly stalls under pressure without adding components or adjusting settings. This eliminates the risk of damaging the pump or pipeline when it is blocked or a valve is closed.

2. Small footprint
The QUANTM line of pumps is a completely integrated system with the controller on board and adding only a few inches/cm off of the front of the pump. This unit fits into the same area that your air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps would be taking. When compared against competitive electric technology, the directly integrated motor in QUANTM pumps provides a significantly smaller footprint versus other technology with a bulky gearbox and motor.

3. No expensive equipment
QUANTM pumps do not require additional deadhead protection equipment such as recirculation lines, pressure sensors or motor management controllers. Leak detector kits are available to further improve your maintenance cycles

4. Energy-efficient
Powered by a patented energy-efficient electric direct drive, the QUANTM EODD pumps eliminate the requirement for compressed air which is notoriously costly and inefficient. 

5. Self-priming
The QUANTM EODD is self-priming and has excellent suction capabilities. There is no need to install additional equipment to guarantee constant flow.

Auto-Prime: When operating at rates that typically would require the pump to be slowed to prime a pump the QUANTM pump can sense the lack of fluid and slow the pump to re-pull prime. 

6. Runs dry
Because of the carefully tuned consistent torque and the inclusion of a reinforcing backer diaphragm, the QUANTM pump can operate without the presence of fluid without serious damage to the pump/system. 

7. Seal-less design
The QUANTM EODD has no sensitive mechanical seals, which significantly improves its life expectancy. Seals used in other pump technologies are often difficult and expensive to replace.

8. Low maintenance costs / simple maintenance processes
No sensitive parts are used to manufacture the QUANTM EODD pump, and its diaphragms last up to five times longer than traditional pump components.

9. Quiet operation
The QUANTM EODD does not require a muffler to dampen the noise caused by the air emitted by an air motor, so it runs much more quietly than AODD pumps. 

10. Wide operating range
QUANTM pumps can be configured for nearly any application and can easily handle slurries, abrasives, shear-sensitive materials and a wide variety of chemical substances.
