Diaphragm Pumps for Rent | Herc Rentals

High-Performance Gas Diaphragm Pump Rentals

A gas diaphragm pump is a type of positive displacement device powered by a gas engine that uses a flexible diaphragm to transport fluids. As the diaphragm flexes, it creates a vacuum that draws fluid into the pump chamber. Returning to its original position, it pushes the fluid through the discharge port.

This back-and-forth action creates suction and pressure, creating a consistent flow rate regardless of the fluid's properties.

Because of their specialized construction, diaphragm pumps can efficiently handle various fluids, including water, corrosive liquids, mud and other slurries. With their portability and minimal maintenance requirements, gas diaphragm pumps are ideal for construction, mining, agriculture and other demanding environments. The small engine provides the mobility and power needed for remote applications or worksites without electricity.

Diaphragm Pump FAQs

Common questions we receive about our diaphragm pump rentals include:

What Is a Diaphragm Pump?

A diaphragm pump is a heavy-duty industrial device with a flexible internal diaphragm that moves materials. These devices can handle various fluids, including abrasives, corrosives and liquids mixed with solids. Diaphragm pumps are particularly useful in applications where controlled flow and leak-free operation are critical.

How Does a Diaphragm Pump Work?

The pump's diaphragm flexes to create a vacuum and pressure that move the fluid. When the diaphragm moves away from the chamber, it creates suction that draws fluid in through the check valves. When the diaphragm returns to its original position, it pushes the fluid out through the discharge port.

What Are Diaphragm Pumps Used For?

Diaphragm pumps can tackle tough jobs that most standard pumps cannot handle. Construction crews use them to dewater excavations and trenches. Mining operations rely on them to move slurries and contaminated water. Farmers use them for irrigation and drainage.

These pumps also work well for chemical transfer because their components can safely and efficiently handle corrosive materials. They're also great for environmental cleanup and removing contaminated fluids from remediation sites.

Can Diaphragm Pumps Run Dry​?

Unlike centrifugal pumps that overheat and fail, diaphragm pumps can run dry without immediate damage. However, most manufacturers do not recommend running the pump dry for long periods because it wastes compressed air and reduces the device's lifespan. For best results, always check the equipment manual before starting your project.
