How a Diaphragm Pump Works

How a Diaphragm Pump Works

Double diaphragm pumps operate using an oscillating positive displacement principle. The pump consists of two main fluid housings and a central air control section. Inside each housing, a flexible diaphragm is mounted vertically and connected to a shared shaft. As compressed air enters and exits the air chambers, the diaphragms move in a coordinated push pull motion.

How Energy-Efficient Vacuum Technology Improved Paper Sack Production

25.09.2026 -

Vacuum technology is indispensable in paper sack manufacturing. It plays a vital role at several critical stages of the production process. At dy-pack, suction cups mounted on small robotic arms grip the sides of each sack blank, lift it from the stack and position it for the next process step. Vacuum ensures that the sacks are aligned one after the other so that the bottom can be opened in a controlled manner.
