Description
Overview
The QBK40 polypropylene air-operated double diaphragm pump moves up to 140 L/min through 1.5″ ports, powered by compressed air alone. It self-primes to a 7 m suction lift, delivers up to 6.9 bar, passes solids up to 4.5 mm and carries PTFE (Teflon) diaphragms.
The polypropylene body resists many acids, alkalis and salt solutions that corrode aluminium, and it is lighter than stainless steel. Check the liquid against a compatibility chart, and keep it away from hot liquids and strong solvents. Because there is no electric motor, you can run it wherever you have an air line, and it keeps pumping against a closed outlet.

Key features
- Flow of up to 140 L/min through 1.5″ inlet and outlet
- Maximum discharge pressure of 6.9 bar, suction lift of 7 m
- Self-priming, with solids up to 4.5 mm and viscosity up to 10,000 cP
- Air consumption of up to 600 L/min, no electrical supply
- Polypropylene body with PTFE diaphragms
- 1.5″ ports and a 4.5 mm solids passage handle dirtier liquids
Where it works
With 1.5″ ports and a 4.5 mm solids passage, this size handles tank-to-tank transfers, bund and sump clean-up and thicker, dirtier liquids that smaller pumps struggle with. It is popular on construction sites, in processing plants and at mine workshops. Platinum belt workshops and Limpopo chemical stores use the plastic body for acid and reagent transfer.
Fit an air filter and regulator, and match your compressor to the 600 L/min maximum air consumption.

Questions about this product
What compressor do I need for the QBK40?
The QBK40 uses up to 600 L/min of compressed air at full flow, so size your compressor to deliver at least that at working pressure. A smaller compressor still runs the pump but limits its flow. Fit an air filter and a regulator so you can throttle flow and pressure, and keep air pressure at or below 6.9 bar.
Can the polypropylene QBK40 pump handle acids?
Polypropylene resists many acids, alkalis and salt solutions that corrode aluminium, and the PTFE diaphragms add chemical resistance. It is not ideal for hot liquids, strong solvents or heavy knocks. Send us the chemical name and concentration and we will check it against this pump before you order.
