Air-Operated Centrifugal Pumps – Efficient Solutions for Demanding Applications
What Are Air-Operated Centrifugal Pumps?
Air-operated centrifugal pumps are an innovative alternative to traditional electrically driven centrifugal pumps. They use compressed air as the power source, providing a safe, reliable, and flexible solution for applications where electric drives are not ideal—such as in hazardous environments or when handling high-viscosity fluids.
Benefits of Air-Operated Centrifugal Pumps
✔ No electrical power required – Perfect for ATEX zones and hazardous areas
✔ Self-priming – No additional priming system needed
✔ Dry-run capable – Prevents damage when the pump runs without fluid
✔ Easy installation and maintenance – No complex wiring, fewer wear parts
✔ Robust and versatile – Handles abrasive, corrosive, and viscous liquids
How Do They Work?
The air-operated centrifugal pump works on the centrifugal principle:
- Compressed air drives an impeller that moves the liquid using centrifugal force.
- Air control allows flexible speed adjustment to meet process requirements.
- The pump operates without additional controls and is ready for immediate use.
Typical Applications
- Chemical industry
- Food and beverage production
- Paints and coatings manufacturing
- Water and wastewater treatment
- Hazardous environments (ATEX compliant)

Zentrifugalpumpen – kontinuierliche Förderung großer Volumenströme
Zentrifugalpumpen (Kreiselpumpen) fördern dünnflüssige, saubere Medien kontinuierlich und pulsationsfrei – bei großen Volumenströmen die energieeffizienteste Lösung. Ein rotierendes Laufrad beschleunigt das Medium und wandelt die Geschwindigkeit in Förderdruck um.
Wann Zentrifugal-, wann Membranpumpe?
Für konstante Betriebspunkte mit sauberen Medien ist die Zentrifugalpumpe erste Wahl; sobald Feststoffe, hohe Viskositäten, Trockenlauf oder Selbstansaugung ins Spiel kommen, spielt die Druckluftmembranpumpe ihre Stärken aus.
