With its cutting-edge design, the
LEWA ecodos series exhibits numer-
ous special diaphragm pump features.
It is much more chemically resistant
than conventional diaphragm systems
and is more durable, also much safer.
LEWA ecodos has a very wide appli-
cation range and is ideal for all types
of fluids, solvents or diffusing fluids.
Moreover, LEWA ecodos systems
are hermetically sealed – even with a
damaged working diaphragm.

4-layer safety diaphragm for

complete tightness
2 working diaphragms
1 monitoring diaphragm
1 pressure-resistant safety
diaphragm
Two working diaphragms result in
double safety: If one is damaged,
the other one continues to operate.
If the second diaphragm is also faulty,
it will be indicated by the monitoring
diaphragm. The fourth pressure-resist-
ant diaphragm ensures the hermetic
seal; ensuring production is completed
without risks.

PTFE for added chemical resistance

PTFE is resistant to almost any fluid, e.
g. solvents and diffusing fluids. It offers
a greater application range and higher
safety margins. Furthermore,
it assures longer life cycles.

Longer diaphragm service life; more

than 16,000 operating hours
LEWA ecodos safety diaphragms have
a service life of more than 16,000 op-
erating hours, i.e. two years of continu-
ous operation. Therefore, the warranty
period for diaphragms is two years.

 The ideal material for each fluid
The standard material is stainless steel
1.4571(316Ti). Other materials are PVC,
PVDF, Polypropylene and electrically
conductive PTFE.

High metering accuracy,

gentle conveying
The metering pumps provide high me-
tering accuracy and gentle conveying.
Precise adjustment of the stroke (man-
ually or electrically) and adjustment of
the stroke frequency via a frequency
inverter are possible. Reproducibility of
the settings is better than ±1 %.

Robust drive units for continuous

operation

The LEWA ecodos drive units are
designed for continuous operation.
Spring-cam drive units are used up to
LEWA ecodos 550; variable eccentric
drive units are used for higher per-
formances.
