HARGRAVES Brushless DC Miniature Diaphragm Pumps exceed 20,000 hours of operation

The Hargraves BTC-IIS Miniature Diaphragm Pumps offer a series of brushless DC motor-driven dual head pumps and compressors designed to handle air, gases and several liquid applications. The BTC-IIS Series’ innovative design offers the highest performance in the smallest package size available. This diaphragm pump series utilizes a proprietary advanced diaphragm elastomer (AEPDM) and superior brushless motor design to set the highest benchmark for service-free miniature diaphragm pump operation that exceeds 20,000 hours. Other miniature diaphragm pump manufacturers require replacement kits to extend life. The proven track of “service free” performance reduces the overall costs for an OEM’s product.

The innovative and efficient engineering design enables the BTC-IIS Series to push the performance envelope in a lightweight, compact size achieving the highest performance/size ratio of current technology miniature diaphragm pumps and compressors. The selection of advanced materials and innovative elastomer diaphragm geometries facilitates the Hargraves miniature diaphragm pumps to operate in increased temperature environments up to 158 ° F (70 ° C). The optimized pump head, chamber, and flow path reduce noise without compromising performance.
