What are powder pumps?

Powder pumps are specially adapted versions of air operated double diaphragm pumps and are suitable for very fine micron-sized, dry powders that do no typically ‘clump’ together.

The available ranges of powder diaphragm pumps are designed for gentle pumping of powders in special industrial applications.

The pumps can transfer powders that ‘fluidise’ and are economic on price and minimise dust creation.

Powder pumps are often used for rapid unloading of reusable containers and vehicles where mobility and transfer times are essential costs factors.
