FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much energy does a QUANTM pump save compared to AODD?

QUANTM double electric diaphragm pumps run at 80–91% energy efficiency versus 15–20% for standard air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps — documented at $16,591 in savings per pump, per year.

What is the payback period on a QUANTM electric diaphragm pump?

Under 1 year in documented installations, versus AODD pumps which never pay back their higher operating cost because compressed air is inherently inefficient.

Are QUANTM pumps quieter than air-operated diaphragm pumps?

Yes — under 80 dBA, about 23% quieter than the 90+ dBA typical of AODD pumps, which matters for operator safety and hearing-protection requirements on the plant floor.

What applications suit QUANTM double electric diaphragm pumps?

Adhesives and glue transfer in corrugated manufacturing, municipal sludge and chemical transfer, food and beverage CIP/SIP service, and mining slurries and abrasives.
