Delivering dependable, energy-efficient fluid transfer in demanding mining and industrial applications, industrial equipment supplier BMG has expanded its fluid handling offering with the introduction of the new EVO Series 210 electric double-diaphragm pump range.

Forming part of compressed air solutions manufacturer Ingersoll Rand’s ARO fluid handling products, the new EVO Series 210 offers an alternative to conventional air-operated diaphragm pumps.

As opposed to traditional air-operated diaphragm pumps that rely on compressed air, the EVO Series 210 uses an electric motor to drive a mechanism that moves flexible diaphragms in a controlled reciprocating motion to create suction by drawing fluid into the pump chamber before discharging it through the outlet valve. This works to deliver smooth and consistent flow.

“By eliminating the need for compressed air infrastructure, the system improves overall energy efficiency while reducing operational noise,” says BMG pumps national product manager Joe Pinheiro.

These new electric double diaphragm pumps combine the familiar benefits of diaphragm pump technology with lower energy consumption, quieter operation and simplified maintenance, he adds.

Engineered for applications requiring reliable fluid transfer, batching and dosing, the EVO Series 210 range is suited to various sectors including mining, chemical processing and wastewater treatment.

The pumps are designed to handle challenging process conditions while helping operators reduce operating costs and maintenance demands.

Secondary leak containment for process fluids enhances operational safety, with optional electronic leak detection available for critical applications where early fault warning is essential, notes Pinheiro.

Maintenance has also been simplified through the range’s practical design which enables access to both diaphragms from the same side of the unit – an advantage in confined installation environments where service access is often restricted, he says.

Further, through its durable, straightforward drive mechanism with fewer components, the EVO Series 210 range offers improved long-term reliability while reducing service complexity and maintenance costs.

The EVO Series 210 is available in metallic and non-metallic configurations to suit specific application requirements.

Metallic variants in aluminium and stainless steel provide durability for more demanding mechanical environments, such as hazardous environment applications, while the polypropylene and polyvinylidene fluoride non-metallic options offer enhanced chemical compatibility for aggressive fluid handling applications.

The EVO Series 210 one-inch model is equipped with a 1.5 kW four-pole motor and is suitable for smaller batch and dosing applications.

Multiple voltage and frequency units enable compatibility with varying electrical supply requirements, while inverter-duty motor capability enables integration with variable frequency drives, where process control flexibility is required.

The new air-operated double-diaphragm EVO Series 210 range meets International Organisation for Standardisation 12100 standards and carries mandatory Europe regulatory standard Conformité Européenne certification.

BMG supports this range with a technical advisory service to ensure the selection of the most suitable pump for every application. The company also supplies a full range of ARO diaphragm pump parts and accessories for standard repair and maintenance requirements.
