Diaphragm Pump Maintenance Guide
Time to Read: 0m 0s
Pumps are designed to operate at their best efficiency point, or BEP. Over time, pump parts begin to wear, leading to reduced performance and efficiency that increases the risk of failure. It’s essential to conduct routine maintenance to ensure equipment performance and reliability. Here are our recommendations for your diaphragm pump maintenance checklist.
Routine Diaphragm Pump Maintenance Checklist
As diaphragm pumps and their parts experience wear, operations move away from BEP. If the pump continues operation, it can lead to accelerated bearing or seal wear, vibration, high operating temperatures, or cavitation, eventually causing failure and loss of production. To preserve the lifespan of your pump and prevent failure, preventative maintenance should be scheduled regularly at specific intervals. Either daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, dismantle the unit and perform the following internal and external inspections:- Maintain air pressure and clean airflow
- Check for corrosion or wear and tear
- Inspect for fluid leaks
- Replace gaskets and mechanical seals if necessary
- Listen for unusual noise and vibrations
