SPX PE is drawing particular attention to the plastic ProCam design, for while its standard Type DP15 and DP50 diaphragm pumps can be offered for metering capacities of up to 50l/h minor modifications to the pump heads are necessary for capacities up to 500l/hr.
The requirements of the ATEX Directive for the Types DP100, DP200 and DP500 are fulfilled by the simple use of special front plates.
This capability means that SPX PE can offer customers an attractively-priced solution and existing plastic ProCam diaphragm pumps can be modified retrospectively.
