ARO Shock Blocker pulsation dampeners reduce pressure fluctuation found in normal diaphragm and piston pump operation and can help eliminate material foaming, material pulsation, hydraulic shock or material splashing.
Diaphragm pumps of any type have at least two points in their cycle where they provide no pressure or flow to a process. The unwanted result of this pressure fluctuation can often be material foaming, material pulsation, hydraulic shock or material splashing. While traditional pulsation dampeners can help reduce unwanted pulsation and other problems, they also require operator intervention and adjustments.
Features
Automatic Air Adjustment – Compensates for fluctuations in fluid pressure without operator intervention
Significant Pulsation Reduction – Shock Blockers deliver an average 60 – 80% pulsation reduction in high back pressure applications
Built for High-Flow and Aggressive Fluid Applications – The 2″ models can handle up to 159 cubic inch maximum fluid volume, and 3″ models up to 509 cubic inch maximum fluid volume
Broad Material Range for Compatibility – Choose from PVDF, polypropylene, groundable acetal (1″ models) or aluminum, cast iron or stainless steel (2″ and 3″ models) body materials for optimum pump-to-pulsation dampener compatibility
Broad Diaphragm and Bladder Fluid Compatibility – Choose from Santoprene, Nitrile, PTFE, Hytrel, Viton or Urethane for optimum fluid-to-diaphragm compatibility
Perfect for Process Applications – Pulsation reduction in long piping runs help prevent costly fluid pipe and downstream valve damage
Bolted Construction – For leak-free vessel integrity and a safer work-site
Ultra-Rugged Construction for Long Service Life – Both inside and out, the new ARO Shock Blockers are built tough to deliver worry-free, near pulse-free fluid handling
