More performance advantages
In addition to their versatility SAMOA air-operated diaphragm pumps offer several performance advantages over other pump technologies in both operation and cost-efficiency. They can run dry without damage and generate no heat during operation. Their self-priming capability makes them ideal for suction lift applications. With no electrical components SAMOA diaphragm pumps are safe for use in explosive environments with ATEX-certified models and can operate fully submerged without compromising performance.
SAMOA diaphragm pumps are a cost-effective solution due to their simple design and low maintenance requirements. They start automatically when the liquid outlet is opened making integration into existing pumping systems easy. Flow rate and outlet pressure are easily controlled with an air pressure regulator. The absence of mechanical seals reduces maintenance time and costs making SAMOA diaphragm pumps an economical and reliable choice for various industrial applications.

Common applications and pump sizes
SAMOA diaphragm pumps can be categorized by application sales channel and industry. Below are common categories and sizes for various applications.
OEM applications
Pumps integrated into equipment and systems such as concrete mixers require compact solutions. Sizes like 1/4 inch 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch are common as they provide low flow rates and are easy to install in confined spaces.
Ink and paint applications
1/2 inch metal pumps from SAMOA are frequently used for pumping ink or paint with viscosities up to 3000–4000 cPs. Diaphragm material is selected based on the liquid whether water-based or solvent-based. In paint manufacturing 2 inch and 3 inch metal pumps are standard for large liquid volumes while 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch pumps are common in spray equipment for paint booths.
Wastewater and waste oil applications
For wastewater treatment 2 inch and 3 inch pumps are primarily used while versatile 1 inch pumps are popular due to their flexibility and capacity in these applications.
Ceramics and mining industry
In the ceramics and mining industries 2 inch and 3 inch SAMOA diaphragm pumps are a preferred choice due to their robust construction and high flow capacity between 650 and 1000 liters per minute handling ceramic glazes slurries and abrasive liquids under demanding conditions without compromising performance.
