Hydraulic Diaphragm Metering Pump

Series 500 hydraulic diaphragm metering pumps allow growers to apply fertilizers and chemicals to crops in a cost-effective manner when used in conjunction with center-pivot water irrigation systems, according to Neptune Chemical Pump Co.

Series 500 pumps are said to be highly accurate, repeatable, and provide flow rates that are easily adjustable, allowing growers the flexibility to adjust to changing growing conditions. One of the benefits of using Series 500 pumps for these types of applications is the positive return to the grower’s bottom line. With prices of fertilizers and chemicals on the rise, it is necessary to inject the exact amount of each at precisely the right time, which will ultimately lower operational costs while boosting yields.

Neptune Series 500 pumps feature Eze-Clean valve cartridges that can be removed for cleaning without disturbing the piping to the pump and a variable oil by-pass stroke adjustment that allows for better valve performance than traditional variable-linkage designs. This allows the valve checks extra time to seat even in heavy liquids since they are idle during the by-pass portion of the suction and discharge strokes.

Series 500 pumps are available with special pump heads to allow for pumping thicker liquids and suspensions. The pumps have capabilities to 80 gph simplex and 160 gph duplex at pressures up to 3,000 psi.
