Source: LutzFluid power company Lutz has introduced a new DDP mixing system with an integrated air-operated double diaphragm pump designed for liquids that must be mixed before processing, or that contain small solids, and then pumped.

The mixing and pumping process is achieved using a suction and mixing tube and a three-way ball valve. The system, which is pre-assembled, is ready to use and appropriate for use with explosive liquids.

Additionally, a compressed air operated double diaphragm pump in a half-inch size and composed of stainless steel (1.4404) operates as the pump unit and is mounted on a base plate. Using Lutz’s universal chemical hose, liquids such as paints and varnishes, emulsions, water and oil mixtures and liquids with increased viscosity and solids content can be pumped.

With a flow rate of 57 l/min, an operating maximum pressure of 8.2 bar, a maximum fluid temperature of 93° C and solids up to a 3.2 mm in diameter can be pumped.
