Quantm is a new electric-operated double diaphragm pump (photo) that features an advanced electric-motor design that is said to be significantly more efficient than a standard pneumatic pump. The pumps’ FluxCore motors and drives deliver up to eight times more continuous torque at low speeds than conventional motors, the company says. The pump offers a wide range of materials of construction to support multiple industrial and hygienic applications, including chemical processing, water treatment, paint manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and more. Designed to be a drop-in replacement for current pneumatic pumps or for greenfield construction, the pump is built for harsh industrial or hygienic environments, while also being lightweight and easy to maintain. — Graco Inc., Minneapolis, Minn.
