The FOOD EQUAFLUX 200 is an FDA approved pulsation dampener that is installed downstream of the pump to reduce pulsations and create a smooth and laminar flow. It is manufactured with an electro polished stainless steel 316 casing and installed with FDA approved PTFE diaphragms. Therefore, all parts that come into contact with the pumped fluid are of food grade standard. It is designed to be used for a wide range of applications within the food, beverage, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.

A pulsation dampener works by creating an area of low pressure that absorbs the pulsations emitted by the pump. A diaphragm is fitted that has a cushion of compressed air, this flexes and absorbs the pulsations. The FOOD EQUAFLUX 200 is connected to the air line and fed with compressed air, the diaphragm and air work in conjunction and automatically adjust the pressure to minimise pulsations in the pipework.

This pulsation dampener can be used with the FOODBOXER 100, FOODBOXER 150 and FOODBOXER 251 pump ranges.

This food grade pulsation dampener is Atex zone 2 as standard meaning it is suitable for operation in non-safe potentially flammable environments. As an option, this can come in an Atex zone 1 version if required.
