Keco’s self-priming diaphragm pumps are based on a time-tested design that has been on the market for over 40-years. Keco’s Diaphragm pumps are designed specifically for pumping sewage | Sewage pump out systems | and require infrequent maintenance. All exposed surfaces are triple coated using zinc, epoxy and urethane, and are assembled using 300-grade stainless steel hardware. Encapsulated full-opening swing check valves protect from corrosion and ensure a consistent and reliable seal for many years. These rugged Diaphragm Pumps are affordable to operate and built for the Harsh marine environment. Keco developed a pump that would stand up to a wide variety of liquids, and be able to handle the most severe conditions imaginable. Although initially targeting marine pump out applications, Keco’s diaphragm pumps have proven effective as a multi-purpose pump. Keco diaphragm pumps are capable of pumping everything from Mud to Concrete slurry and can run dry without damage.
Keco’s Diaphragm Pumps rely on the oldest and most traditional pumping technique. Mechanically similar to a plunger, the diaphragm pump bowl is filled when the diaphragm rises, and cleared when the diaphragm compresses. This reciprocating action causes the suction/discharge valves to fully open and close.
Keco’s Diaphragm Pumps feature a modular design and are extremely intuitive to maintain. Consisting of mostly ½” stainless steel hardware these pumps can be disassembled with two wrenches. Rebuilding a Diaphragm Pump is as simple as replacing the Rubber Diaphragm and Flapper Valves, which can be done in less than an hour. Replacement parts are Affordable and Readily available.
