V-Series diaphragm pumps support safer botanical extraction by providing sealless, solvent-compatible, low-shear transfer for ethanol, methanol, hexane, acetone, extracts, and slurries.
5 key selection factors at a glance
Botanical extraction workflows use solvents such as ethanol, methanol, hexane, acetone, and mixed solvent systems to isolate essential oils, plant actives, and herbal concentrates.
These solvents can be volatile, flammable, toxic, or chemically aggressive, making safe, leak-free, chemically resistant fluid transfer foundational to the extraction process.
V-Series diaphragm pumps, also known as air-operated double diaphragm pumps, are designed for aggressive and volatile fluid transfer.
Their sealless operating principle keeps fluid isolated within the pump chamber, reducing leak and vapor escape risks during operation.
BEING V-Series pumps use corrosion-resistant materials for solvent-heavy environments. PTFE pump heads support broad chemical compatibility, FFPM valves resist aggressive chemicals, and PTFE-coated structured diaphragms improve durability.
Full solvent containment helps prevent vapor release, reduce fire or explosion risk, minimize operator exposure, and support solvent recovery and reuse.
Botanical extracts can contain delicate bioactive compounds that degrade under excessive shear, heat, or mechanical stress.
The non-rotational diaphragm pumping mechanism provides low-shear transfer for ethanol-based extracts, oil-rich concentrates, viscous herbal slurries, and solvent-laden streams before filtration.
Botanical processing includes filtration feed, clarified extract transfer, concentration, storage, and solvent recovery steps where solvent safety remains essential.
V-Series diaphragm pumps handle varying viscosities, suspended solids, and changing flow rates while helping avoid leaks or solvent exposure.
Safe solvent handling is inseparable from botanical extraction quality and safety. BEING V-Series diaphragm pumps support sealless transfer, PTFE and FFPM chemical resistance, full solvent containment, low-shear handling, and reliable downstream processing.
