Hydraulic Diaphragm Metering Pump

Pulsafeeder Expertise
Since 1936, Pulsafeeder has been the global leader in fluid handling technology and innovation in
chemical dosing. Pulsafeeder has built a foundation of success with thousands of installations in fluid

ciency of single-source solutions across various industries.

PULSA Series® Pumps

Well known for its rugged design and history of long service, the PULSA Series positive displace-
ment, reciprocating metering pump has remained a customer favorite for over seventy years. PULSA
Series pumps combine the high efficiency of a plunger pump with the sturdiness of a diaphragm
seal to eliminate leakage. Available in a range of materials, PULSA Series pumps can handle most
chemicals. The PULSA Series pump is the “go to” pump for reliability and success.

 Diaphragm Technology
Suction Stroke Discharge Stroke
Flat Diaphragm (TFE & Metal) TFE Shown
The popular flat diaphragm reagent head is available in
a variety of materials and can handle a wide range of
chemicals. The dish plates prevent over deflection of the
diaphragm. There is no contact with moving parts. With
typical diaphragm thicknesses of .060” (1.52mm), this is
one durable diaphragm.

Suction Stroke Discharge Stroke

Hydratube®
The Hydratube is the choice for high viscosity slurries.
Its straight, large, flow through design eliminates clog-
ging and flow restrictions. Available in FKM, CSM or
PFA, it can be utilized with the most corrosive or acidic
chemicals.

Hydracone®
Suction Stroke Discharge Stroke
The Hydracone’s self-priming head features a coni-
cal elastomer diaphragm. It is particularly well suited
for high-lift conditions, high viscosities, and low density
slurries. The Hydracone is available in a choice of high
performance fluorocarbon elastomers such as FKM and
chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM).

PULSA Series® Configurations

PULSA Series pumps are available in several configurations to meet any pumping challenge.
