PULSAtron
The PULSAtron family are solenoid powered diaphragm metering pumps.
The key element which differentiates these pumps from other types is the TFE lined elastomer diaphragm.
This diaphragm is sealed against the reagent head forming a seal-less, leak free pumping chamber. The solenoid driver is connected to the diaphragm to create the pumping motion. As the diaphragm moves away from the face of the reagent head, it creates a vacuum which closes the discharge check valve and opens the suction check valve, drawing the pumped fluid into the pumping chamber. As the solenoid forces the diaphragm toward the face of the reagent head, the suction check valve closes and the discharge check valve opens allowing the liquid to flow out the discharge valve.
