Makro/ 5 Diaphragm Metering pump

Makro/ 5 Diaphragm Metering pump

The Makro/ 5 motor-driven diaphragm metering pump is characterized by its modular design for add-ons. With the option of one or two liquid ends and one or several add-on pumps, its performance can be enhanced up to a maximum of 5,283 gph (20,000 L/h).

Advantages

  • High processing reliability: Powerful, reliable and extremely robust
  • High processing quality: Reproducibility of dosage better than ±2 %
  • Broad field of application, easily adapted later even by the customer because of its modular design.

Application Areas

  • The addition of chemicals based on measured values, e.g. acid and alkali metering for pH neutralisation in wastewater treatment
  • Metering of treatment agents in industrial production processes
  • Time-controlled metering of chemicals for ion exchange regeneration

Features

  • The drive unit is designed for operating two liquid ends with an output of 2 x 1,057 gph (4,000 L/h)
  • Can be increased to 5,283 gph (20,000 L/h) by adding up to three add-on pumps, and with reduced back pressure up to four add-on pumps (the use of an installation frame is necessary).
  • Back pressure 58 psig (4 bar)
  • Push-pull operation of the liquid ends with dual head designs
  • Standard drive: Spur gear motor 3 kW (optional 5.5 KW), 230/400 V, 50/60 Hz, enclosure class rated IP 55 (optional ATEX-T3/T4), insulation class F
  • Stroke displacement 0 - 78" (0-20 mm)
  • Stroke length setting: manual (optional with variable speed drive)
  • Optional electronic frequency converter for speed control, enclosure class rated IP54, with monitor for monitoring the temperature of the motor
  • Optional stroke sensor with NAMUR signal for exact recording of each metering stroke, suitable for batch metering or proportional metering
  • Gear housing: Cast iron, resistant to seawater, acrylic resin lacquer finish
  • Liquid end materials: Polypropylene, PVC, PTFE with carbon, stainless steel
  • Reproducibility of metering better under defined conditions and correct installation ± 2 % (stroke length 30-100 %)
  • Suction lift varies with density and viscosity of the medium as well as the connecting tubing and the number of strokes
