Mobile chemical pump for ATEX areas – flexible, safe, efficient

Proven Timmer quality pump as a mobile unit: In close cooperation with a customer from the chemical industry, we have developed a pump trolley that is designed for flexible use in ATEX zones, i.e. potentially explosive areas. At the heart of the system is a pneumatic double diaphragm pump from the timCHEM series made of PTFE. Mounted on a sturdy, stainless steel trolley, the unit can be moved quickly and safely, making it ideal for mobile use in sensitive areas.

In industries such as the chemical, paint and coatings industries, liquids and pasty media must be reliably conveyed, transferred or pumped out under demanding conditions. Our timCHEM double diaphragm pump is designed precisely for these applications.

"Our customer is active in the chemical industry and already has several of our pumps in use," reports our Key Account Manager Stefan Anstöter. The company now needed a mobile unit that could be used in different areas as required to pump residual quantities from pipes and sewage systems in halls and outdoor areas. "The task was therefore to make the proven Timmer double diaphragm pump mobile while complying with ATEX guidelines." says Anstöter.

ATEX compliance: Safety at the highest level

Close cooperation between our sales, design and production departments resulted in a pump trolley tailored to customer requirements. The unit is designed to safely transport flammable liquids and can also be used reliably in potentially explosive areas. Carefully selected and precisely engineered components ensure that no effective ignition sources are created. During transport and storage, conductive rollers ensure that any electrostatic charges on the stainless steel pump trolley and its superstructure can be dissipated via a suitable floor. In addition, the trolley is equipped with a grounding clamp for local potential equalisation, which allows strong electrostatic charges to be reliably and safely dissipated during the transfer of liquids in the pump, regardless of the respective floor conditions. The result is a product that guarantees maximum safety for the intended area of application.

The centrepiece: our pneumatic diaphragm pump made of PTFE

A pneumatic double diaphragm pump with a connection diameter of two inches made of PTFE is used, offering the proven advantages of Timmer.

  • Easy installation – quick replacement of valve balls without special tools
  • High start-up reliability – thanks to bistable latching valve
  • Low energy consumption – thanks to optimised geometry and low start-up pressures
  • Low maintenance & long service life – ceramic slide valve, short stroke principle
  • Variable design – modularly adaptable for different applications
  • Minimal pulsation – even media flow thanks to fast switching times

The pump is controlled by a permanently installed control unit, which allows both pressure and volume to be precisely adjusted. This means that the delivery rate can be adjusted exactly to the requirements of the respective application. Our optimised valve technology enables a compact design, which was beneficial to us in the design of the mobile unit.

Future potential: Interest beyond the chemical industry

"In this case, a two-inch pump was installed at the customer's request, but variants with other sizes are of course also possible." emphasises Anstöter.

This first mobile pump solution was designed specifically for the chemical industry, but it also has a wide range of applications beyond this sector.

The mobile pump trolley is a particularly flexible filling solution for the paint and coatings industry, for example for transferring paints and coatings from large storage containers to smaller containers. "There is a lot of interest in the mobile version." says Anstöter. "Several customers have already approached us with specific enquiries."

The possibility of individual customisation is particularly attractive. "We develop our solutions in close consultation with our customers – and always with a focus on quality, safety and efficiency." says Anstöter.
