AIR-OPERATED DIAPHRAGM PUMPS
Air-operated diaphragm pumps are a versatile solution for transferring fluids across food, dairy, beverage, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and waste-handling applications. With excellent solids handling, dry-run capability, and simple operation, they’re ideal for transferring viscous, abrasive, or shear-sensitive materials. Available in polished stainless steel with FDA-compliant materials, these pumps are easy to maintain and clean. Alliance Fluid Handling stocks both complete pumps and spare parts in the UK for fast supply and support.
AIR DIAPHRAGM PUMP MAKES & MODELS
DEBEM PUMPS
AISIBOXER 01
Features:
Polished AISI 316L stainless steel body with hygienic surface finish; compact 1″ sanitary pump design ideal for confined process areas; Tri-Clamp or threaded connections; high-efficiency, non-lubricated pneumatic circuit with Debem’s patented stall-prevention air system; robust diaphragms and ball valves designed for viscous products; self-priming capability and dry-run tolerance.
Benefits
Suitable for hygienic applications requiring repeatable cleanliness and easy wash-down; smooth internal geometry reduces product retention and speeds up cleaning; strong suction lift and solids handling allow reliable transfer of viscous or shear-sensitive media; low air consumption delivers reduced running cost; minimal maintenance due to simple, modular construction.
Applications:
Sanitary transfer of dairy products, creams, sauces, flavourings, oils, juices and syrups; ideal for cosmetic bases, gels, and personal-care formulations; compatible with gentle product movement where shear reduction is required.
Certifications:
FDA-compliant wetted materials; EU 1935/2004 (MOCA) conformity; ATEX Zone 2 (on request for the stainless-steel version); CE compliant.
Downloads:
Flow Rates: Maximum flow: up to 54 L/min (dependent on air pressure and viscosity).
Pressure: Maximum air supply: 8 bar; Achievable discharge pressure: up to 8 bar.
Temperature: Fluid temperature range: –5 °C to +65 °C depending on diaphragm type;
Sanitisation: higher temperatures possible according to diaphragm/valve material selection.
Material Compatibility:
All wetted parts in 316L stainless steel; FDA-compliant diaphragms available in EPDM, NBR, PTFE, Santoprene; valve balls in stainless steel or compatible elastomers; excellent resistance to typical food, beverage, cosmetic and CIP media.
AISIBOXER 02
Features:
Heavy-duty AISI 316L stainless steel construction with polished hygienic surfaces; 1½″ Tri-Clamp or threaded connections for sanitary integration; high-efficiency pneumatic air system with Debem’s patented anti-stall exchanger; self-priming design with strong suction lift; large-diameter ball valves for improved solids passage; compact pump geometry for easy installation on skids, vessels and process lines.
Benefits
Delivers reliable, pulse-controlled product transfer for medium to high-viscosity fluids; smooth internal flow path reduces product retention and eases CIP/COP cleaning; low air consumption for reduced operational cost; robust construction ensures long service life even in demanding production environments; minimal maintenance thanks to modular build and accessible wear components.
Applications:
Suitable for hygienic transfer of dairy products, cream, curds, sauces, syrups, oils and beverage concentrates; ideal for cosmetics, gels and viscous personal-care formulations; handles fluids containing soft solids without clogging; widely used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetic production.
Certifications:
FDA-compliant wetted materials; EU 1935/2004 (MOCA) conformity; ATEX Zone 2 options available for stainless-steel versions; CE compliant.
Downloads:
Flow Rates: Maximum flow: up to 165 L/min (depending on viscosity and working pressure).
Pressure: Maximum air supply: 8 bar; Achievable discharge pressure: up to 8 bar.
Temperature: Fluid temperature range: –5 °C to +65 °C depending on diaphragm material;
CIP sanitisation: higher temperatures possible with compatible diaphragms/valves.
Material Compatibility:
Wetted parts in polished 316L stainless steel; diaphragms in FDA-approved EPDM, NBR, PTFE, Santoprene; valve balls available in stainless steel or compatible elastomers; resistant to common food, dairy, beverage and cosmetic ingredients as well as CIP detergents and cleaning agents.
SANIBOXER 01
Features:
Hygienic polypropylene (PP) or conductive polypropylene (PP-C) construction designed for sanitary processing; smooth moulded surfaces minimise product retention and simplify cleaning; 1″ Tri-Clamp or threaded sanitary connections; lightweight body ideal for mobile and skid-mounted systems; equipped with Debem’s patented stall-prevention pneumatic air distributor for reliable operation; self-priming and dry-run capable.
Benefits
Excellent chemical resistance for CIP routines, detergents and a wide range of process fluids; lightweight polymer design reduces installation load and makes maintenance easy; energy-efficient air consumption for lower running costs; handles viscous fluids and soft solids without clogging; modular construction ensures fast diaphragm or valve replacement with minimal downtime.
Applications:
Sanitary transfer of dairy ingredients, flavourings, syrups, yeast, sauces and liquid food concentrates; widely used for cosmetics, fragrances, gels and personal-care production; suitable for corrosive or chemically aggressive products where stainless-steel pumps may not be preferred.
Certifications:
FDA-compliant wetted materials; EU 1935/2004 (MOCA) conformity; ATEX Zone 2 available in conductive PP-C versions; CE compliant.
Downloads:
Flow Rates: Maximum flow: up to 50 L/min (depending on air pressure and fluid viscosity).
Pressure: Maximum air supply: 7 bar; Working discharge pressure up to 7 bar.
Temperature: Typical fluid temperature range: +3 °C to +65 °C (diaphragm-dependent);
Sanitisation: compatible with chemical CIP processes within polymer temperature limits.
Material Compatibility: Wetted materials in PP or conductive PP-C; FDA-approved diaphragms in EPDM, NBR, PTFE, Santoprene; valve balls in compatible elastomers or plastics; strong resistance to acids, cleaning chemicals, cosmetic bases and many food-grade additives.
SANIBOXER 02
Features:
Hygienic polypropylene (PP) or conductive polypropylene (PP-C) construction designed for sanitary environments; smooth, non-porous moulded body for reduced product retention; 1½″ Tri-Clamp or threaded sanitary connections supporting higher-flow applications; Debem’s patented anti-stall pneumatic air distributor ensures reliable and efficient operation; strong self-priming capability and dry-run tolerance; large-diameter ball valves for improved viscosity and solids handling.
Benefits
Lightweight polymer design enables easy installation and maintenance compared with larger metal-bodied pumps; excellent chemical resistance for CIP detergents, acids and process ingredients; maintains consistent flow with viscous or shear-sensitive fluids; energy-efficient air consumption reduces running costs; modular layout allows quick servicing and diaphragm replacement with minimal disruption.
Applications:
Designed for sanitary transfer of liquid foods, dairy ingredients, syrups, sauces, purées, oils and concentrates; well suited to cosmetics, creams, gels and personal-care formulations; ideal where stainless steel is unnecessary or where aggressive chemicals favour polymer construction.
