Almatec Utilizes Solid-Body Construction To Enhance the Performance of its E-Series Pumps
Almatec has used solid body construction in its new E-Series Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm Plastic Pumps to create a more reliable, more efficient pump when compared to the performance of similar models that rely on injection molding for their construction.

Pumps that feature solid-body construction can be designed so that the required wall thicknesses are arranged where they are needed. The mechanical machining of a solid plastic block is economical thanks to modern computer numerical controlled (CNC) technology that enables far tighter tolerances to be achieved than those pumps that use injection-molded parts.
The E-Series’ design and solid-body construction provides a wide range of advantages to the end-user: increased pump safety due to an innovative ring-tightening structure; increased product capacity; decreased air consumption; reduced noise level; optimized flow pattern; and a screwed-on or flanged pulsation dampener. The pump’s structure allows all housing bolts to be tightened against a diaphragm-sized ring on each side of the liquid housing. This creates a greater and more even compression at the sealing surfaces, which results in increased safety.
