Almatec has extended its line of solid plastic C-Series Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm (AODD) Pumps to include new C 40 (1-1/2”) and C 50 (2”) models.

Even high viscosity pumps come to their application limits very fast, when trying to pump high-viscous, non-flowable substances. The newly developed drum emptying system with a follower plate from Lutz exceeds these limits and the infinitely variable operation enables particularly gentle pumping of pastes and non-flowable substances in the food, pharmaceutical and industrial sectors.
