Air driven pumps?

can anyone tell me how an air driven pump works.... please?

I've searched around and read that it is a diaphragm type pump?

Does anyone use these... is there a benefit over a shurflo or delavan?

Is it run completely from a compressor, or does it require a battery/motor/engine?

... seen a setup for sale over on TGS that has a yamada air driven pump, just aroused my interest in what they were and how they worked...

thanks for anyone's help.
 
Steve, call Chris Tucker. Thats all he uses. I've seen his guys in action doing Roofs. Don't blink or you'll miss seeing how they do it. :eek: It's alot faster! 1-813-293-1733
 
They have two diaphragms or bladders one on each side and in the middle of the pump there is a shuttle block that pushes against the bladder and as it pushes against one bladder it pulls ther other creating a vacuum on that side and it keeps shuttling back and forthone side pullin material into it and the other side pumping it out.Kinda like a heart it pulls in on side as its pumping out the other with the same motion.

The way it work as far as how it changes side is it has ball checks above and below the shuttle block there are 4 of them on each pump 2 on each side as it pulls in the ball checks on the toppull don and check as it pumps out the all check on the bottom pushes down and checks.

As far as and engine to drive them there are electric diaphragm pumpsa delevan and shurflo are diaphragm pumps but they are a single diaphragm only with two check valves.

Some manu are Wilden,Udor,Sandpiper.They may have some pics for you.
 
there is alot of benefits to an air driven pump .. almost all car washes run on air driven pumps.. they have a long life and no maintaince...besides some air pumps can run dry with no harm at all..
 
We used air pumps to move fuel. No spark and the compressor was 100' away.
