Air-operated diaphragm pumps help improve safety because they do not require electrical power at the pump. This reduces potential ignition risks in hazardous environments where flammable liquids, solvents, or vapors may be present. Many ARO air-operated double diaphragm pumps are available for use in ATEX-rated applications when installed according to local regulations.
For applications requiring electric pumps, ARO EVO Series™ electric diaphragm pumps are also available in ATEX-compliant configurations for hazardous locations. This allows facilities to benefit from electric pumping technology while maintaining compliance with safety requirements.
Several ARO pump technologies are designed to help contain fluids and reduce the risks associated with leaks. For example, EVO Series™ electric diaphragm pumps feature secondary leak containment that helps provide an additional level of protection when handling aggressive or hazardous fluids.
Safety also includes creating a better working environment for operators. The EVO Series™ 300 electric diaphragm pumps are engineered for low noise operation, helping reduce noise exposure in production areas and improving employee comfort. Combined with sealless diaphragm technology, these features help support safer, cleaner, and more reliable industrial fluid transfer operations.
