Depending on the individual sprayer design and customer needs we offer
centrifugal, diaphragm or piston pumps. In most instances one of these should fit your requirements.
Diaphragm Pump
 |
There are a couple of general rules of thumb to follow when considering which pump to choose for your application.
- A centrifugal pump will give you higher flow rates (volume) than a diaphragm or piston pump.
- A diaphragm or piston pump will give you higher spray pressure than a centrifugal pump.
So what does this mean for you? If you intend to work mostly with a hose reel and handgun you will welcome the additional pressure obtained by using a diaphragm or piston pump. This extra pressure helps to overcome the loss of line pressure that normally occurs in the hose.
If you are doing mostly low pressure boom applications, a centrifugal pump will work well.
We like the flexibility you get from a diaphragm pump with a flow rate matched to the output of your boom. You gain the versatility of being able use a boom or hose depending on your needs. but with no compromise in either area.
Give us a call and we'll be happy to design a sprayer with the right pump and engine combination for you.
If you have an SDI sprayer or boom, the chances are excellent that Mike helped build it. Mike's SDI work experience has covered all aspects of sprayer construction. Currently he is responsible for boom assembly.
