IMPA: 591601

1" Aluminum Pneumatic Diaphragm Pump (Plo-flo) - IMPA 591601

The IMPA 591601 aluminum pneumatic diaphragm pump is a versatile, air-operated double diaphragm pump designed for demanding marine and industrial applications. Constructed with a lightweight aluminum casing, this pump delivers reliable performance without the need for electrical power, making it safe for use in explosive or flammable environments. Its self-priming capability with up to 16.4 ft (5 m) suction lift and ability to run dry without damage ensure uninterrupted operation in critical shipboard systems.

This pump handles liquids with viscosities up to 10,000 cP and solids up to 1/10 inch (2.5 mm) in diameter, making it ideal for transferring sludge, bilge water, fuel, and chemical fluids. The diaphragm design isolates the pumped media from moving parts, preventing leaks and enabling safe handling of hazardous or corrosive substances. With simple on/off control via air valve and automatic restart after overload, the pump minimizes downtime and maintenance.

Engineered for efficiency, the IMPA 591601 delivers a maximum flow of 26.4 GPM (100 L/min) at discharge pressures up to 100 psi (6.9 bar). The 1" threaded ports (NPT) provide easy integration into existing piping systems. An inlet air filter and outlet pressure gauge are recommended for optimal performance and longevity.
