Frequently asked questions
Common questions about LMI PUMPS from 3G Electric.
What are the typical applications for LMI Pumps solenoid-driven diaphragm metering pumps?
LMI Pumps solenoid-driven diaphragm metering pumps are used in water treatment, wastewater treatment, chemical processing, and industrial cleaning systems. They are suitable for dosing chemicals such as coagulants, flocculants, acids, bases, and biocides. The pumps' material options, including PVDF, PVC, and polypropylene heads with PTFE diaphragms, allow compatibility with a range of aggressive fluids. Their reproducibility of ±1.0% or ±3.0% makes them appropriate for processes requiring consistent injection rates. Common installations include municipal water plants, cooling towers, and manufacturing facilities where precise chemical addition is critical.
What is the maximum flow rate available in LMI Pumps metering pumps?
LMI Pumps metering pumps are available with maximum flow rates up to 192 gallons per day (gpd), as seen in models like SKU 878LW0. Other models in the line offer lower flow rates, such as 60 gpd or 96 gpd, to suit different dosing requirements. Flow rate depends on the specific model and configuration, including head material and voltage. When selecting a pump, consider the required dose rate, chemical viscosity, and system pressure. 3G Electric can provide specifications for each model to help match the pump to your application.
What materials are used in LMI Pumps metering pump heads and diaphragms?
LMI Pumps metering pumps feature heads made from PVDF, PVC, or polypropylene (PP), depending on the model. Diaphragms are typically PTFE, and seals may be PTFE, PVDF/PTFE, or PTFE/Polyprel. Check balls are available in ceramic or 316 stainless steel. These material choices provide chemical resistance and durability for various dosing applications. For example, PVDF heads are suitable for aggressive chemicals, while PVC and PP offer cost-effective options for less demanding fluids. Always verify compatibility with the specific chemical being dosed.
What voltage options are available for LMI Pumps solenoid-driven diaphragm metering pumps?
LMI Pumps solenoid-driven diaphragm metering pumps are available in 115V AC or 115/230V AC configurations, with 50/60 Hz frequency. Some models are single-phase. The voltage requirement is specified for each model; for instance, SKU 878L54 operates at 115V AC, while SKU 878M79 supports 115/230V AC. Ensure the available power supply matches the pump's nameplate voltage. These pumps are designed for standard industrial power systems and include self-priming capability.
