TC5000 Quaternary Diaphragm Pump
Smart TC Series four-piston diaphragm pump for sanitary and biopharmaceutical applications
Overview
The TC5000 Smart Quaternary Diaphragm Pump is designed for sanitary fluid transfer applications that require stable flow, low pulsation, low shear, and easy cleaning. It is well suited for higher flow production process systems where consistent fluid transfer, product protection, and hygienic operation are essential.
With a flow range of 0.8–80 L/min and a maximum operating pressure of 6 bar, the TC5000 provides stable and efficient pumping performance for demanding sanitary processing environments. Its wetted materials are selected for hygienic compatibility, and the pump structure is designed to support clean operation, simple maintenance, and reliable long-term use.

Speed-Flow Characteristics
The figure below shows the speed-flow characteristic curves of the TC5000 pump head at different operating pressures, using purified water at room temperature as the test medium.
The relationship between speed and flow is essentially linear, demonstrating stable and predictable flow performance across the operating range. The adjustable speed range is 5–800 rpm, and the maximum flow rate can exceed 80 L/min under appropriate operating conditions.
The linear relationship between speed and flow enables stable, predictable, and controllable fluid transfer performance across a wide operating range.
