Sigma/ 3 Diaphragm Metering Pump

Sigma/ 3 Diaphragm Metering Pump

Together with Sigma/ 1 and Sigma/ 2, Sigma/ 3 Motor Diaphragm Metering Pumps compose a continuous product line, covering the capacity ranges from 4.5 to 272 gph (17 - 1,030 L/h) at uniform operation conception, control conception and spare parts management. All three pumps are available as Basic types with no internal electronic control systems or as microprocessor versions for rapid and reliable adjustment to fluctuating metering tasks.

Advantages

  • Process safety: In case of average, metering medium does not escape to the environment or into the pump gear, thanks to double diaphragm with diaphragm failure indication.
  • Reliable operation thanks to automatic bleeding.
  • Protection of the pump against overload with integrated relief valve.
  • High process quality: reproducible metering accuracy better than ±2 %
  • Easy handling: direct adjustment and control of metering capacity in plain language via the big illuminated LC display (Control Version)
  • Problem-free connection to complex process control systems with optional equipment with PROFIBUS®-DP interface (Control Version)
  • Simplified spare parts management and decreased stock handling efforts at same availability of pumps within the Sigma product line.
  • Less training efforts for operating staff when handling the Sigma product line, thanks to same operation modus

Application Areas

  • Quantity-proportional chemical addition in water treatment, e.g. Sodium Hypochlorite for drinking water disinfection.
  • Measurement-dependent chemical addition, e.g. acid and brine metering for pH neutralization in waste water treatment
  • Pulse-controlled metering when bottling different fluids.

Features

  • Capacity range 38 - 272 gph (145 - 1.030 L/h), 174 - 58 psig (12 - 4 bar)
  • High-strength inner housing for energy-stressed components as well as additional polymer housing as protection against corrosion.
  • Stroke length: 0.24" (6 mm), adjustable via self-arresting adjusting knob in 0.5 % steps.
  • Double diaphragm with diaphragm failure indication (optional, also retrofittable), i.e. even with diaphragm failure the fluid may not escape uncontrollably from the pump or get into the gear area of the pump.
  • Liquid end materials: PVDF, stainless steel
  • Reproducible metering accuracy at defined conditions and correct installation better than ±2 % (stroke length area 30 - 100 %).

Features Basic type (S3Ba)

  • Selection of drive versions: three-phase normal motor, single-phase alternating current motor, motors for the use in EXe and EXde areas, various flange versions for the use of customer-specific motors.
  • Protection class IP 55 (optionally ATEX-T3/T4)
  • Stroke-length adjustment: manually (optional with stroke positioning drive or with stroke control drive)

Features Control Version (S3Ca)

  • Microprocessor control: optimum combination of variable AC frequency combined with digital stroking frequency, ensures exact metering even in the lower minimum range due to individual stroke control.
  • The individual pump functions are simply adjusted using the five programming keys.
  • Big backlit LC Display
  • Indication in plain language of metering capacity in US-gal/h or L/h
  • 3-LED-function as operation indicator, alarm indicator and fault indicator
  • Control via contact or analog signals (e.g. 0/4-20 mA)
  • On demand, integration of 2-week-process timer. The intelligent alternative to clock timers.
  • Protection class IP 65
  • Interface for PROFIBUS®-DP
