The MARATHON diaphragm pump is a renowned product from Warren Rupp, USA, capable of running dry for extended periods without compromising its durability. The core and diaphragm of the pump are crafted from high-quality materials that exhibit superior strength and resistance to oxidation, as well as extreme temperatures. With tightly designed valves, these pumps can automatically adjust pressure balance during operation, enhancing safety and preventing fire hazards or leaks.
MARATHON pumps are designed for longevity, significantly reducing operational costs. They also boast excellent abrasion resistance, chemical compatibility, and the ability to pump or extract viscous fluids effectively. Furthermore, their simple design allows for quick and easy installation, maintenance, and operation compared to other models.
MARATHON diaphragm pumps find applications in numerous industries and work environments. They are especially favored in the oil and gas, chemical sectors, and in tasks involving high fire risk, such as transporting oil, gasoline, benzene, and methanol. The pumps are also versatile in various fields including food processing, cosmetics, paint production, wastewater treatment, chemical pumping, sludge, and pulp.
Key Features of MARATHON Diaphragm Pumps
- Air-Operated Design: MARATHON pumps feature a two-diaphragm air-operated design that simplifies operation, offering multiple advantages over other pump types.
- Handling Abrasive and Sensitive Materials: The low internal speed allows for the gentle pumping of abrasive materials without damaging the pump. The smooth pumping action prevents harm to delicate materials.
- Pumping Viscous Materials: These pumps can handle heavy materials or those with high solid content, ranging from water to peanut butter.
- No Sealing Components: MARATHON diaphragm pumps do not contain motors, sealing components, or belts, eliminating the risk of leaks and making them environmentally friendly.
- Self-Priming Capability: The pumps can self-prime under most lift conditions.
- Variable Flow Rate: The flow rate can be adjusted simply by regulating the input air supply, ranging from zero to maximum capacity.
- Flexible Discharge Options: There are various options for discharge ports, including top, bottom, and dual configurations, to suit different materials.
- Dry Running Capability: Unlike many other pumps, MARATHON can run dry without damage, enhancing reliability.
- Automatic Shutdown: The pump will stop operating if excessive back pressure occurs, eliminating the need for expensive bypass systems or safety valves.
- Grounding Options: The pneumatic operation minimizes concerns about electric sparks associated with electric or rotating pumps.
MARATHON Pump Series
- Non-Metallic Ball Valve Series: This series features non-metallic ball valves that pass chemical tests. Available in PVDF and Polypropylene, these models include MP01P, M05, M07, M10, M1F, M15, M20, and M30.
- Metallic Ball Valve Series: These pumps have components made from aluminum, cast iron, stainless steel, and Hastelloy-C. They offer excellent suction for small solid materials and comply with ATEX standards. Models include M02, M05, M1F, M15, M20, and M30.
- Metallic Flap Valve Pumps: Designed for viscous fluids or those containing substantial solids, these pumps feature flap valves that allow larger solids to pass without damage. They also meet ATEX standards and include models like MP04F, MP10M, and MP14F.
- Submersible Pumps: HandiPump™ is a battery-operated submersible pump compatible with any 12-volt DC battery, suitable for small openings and known for its quiet operation. Models include MPS03 and MSMA3-A. The MSMA3-A is a pneumatic submersible trash pump capable of handling sludge, leaves, branches, sand, and water with debris. With high capacity and low head, it weighs only 59 pounds (26 kg) and can fit through small openings.
