Introduction
ALMATEC air-operated diaphragm pumps are constructed according to the state of the art
and they are reliable. Imminent danger by operating error or misuse can lead to damages
of properties and/or persons. The pumps are to be applied for the intended use and in a
safety-related proper condition only.
Each person working on the ALMATEC air-operated diaphragm pumps concerning
installation, start-up, handling or maintenance has to read this manual completely and in
an attentive way and has to follow all mentioned procedures and safety notes.
General description of the machine, appropriate use and residual dangers
The ALMATEC FUTUR pumps are oscillating positive displacement pumps and are based
on the functional principle of double diaphragm pumps. The basic configuration consists of
two external side housings with a center housing between them. The liquid flows straight
through the product chambers of the center housing, while the air control system and the
air chambers are located in the side housing. This design ensures that only one part of the
housing comes in contact with the liquid: the center housing. The product chambers on
both sides of the center housing are limited to the side housings by a diaphragm.
Controlled by an air control system the diaphragms move back and forth and the liquid in
the product chambers will be sucked in or displaced.
The appropriate use of an Almatec air-operated diaphragm pump refers to the liquid
transport taking into account the operation parameter mentioned in this manual and in
compliance of the given terms for commissioning, operation, assembly, disassembly and
maintenance.
Even if all necessary safety measures described in this manual have been met, a residual
danger exists by leakages or mechanical damages. At sealing areas or connections liquid
can be released uncontrollably then.
Storage
In general, the ALMATEC pump is delivered operational and packaged. If the unit is not
installed right away, proper storage conditions are important for a trouble free operation
later. The pump has to be protected from wetness, coldness, dirtying, UV-radiation and
mechanical influences. The following storage conditions are recommended:
- Steady ventilated, dust and vibration free storage room
- Ambient temperature between 15°C and 25°C with a relative humidity below 65%
- Prevention of direct thermal influences (sun, heating)

Commissioning
The ALMATEC Maschinenbau GmbH is certified as a modern, quality-orientated
enterprise according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015. Before release for
dispatch, any FUTUR pump has to undergo an extended final control. The performance
data registered during this are archived in our records and can be read back at any time.
Every individual part mentioned in the following text is identified by a number in square
brackets corresponding with its item number in both the spare part list and the exploded
view.
The series FUTUR has specially been developed to meet the requirements of the
semiconductor industry. These pneumatic diaphragm pumps differ from other available
pneumatic pump types significantly. All pumps are assembled in a clean room with twofold
preliminary cleaning of the individual parts and testing with de-ionised water. Afterwards,
they are doubly sealed into plastic foils so that they can directly be taken into clean rooms
within the intact inner sleeve.
Because of the significant differences, a diligent study of this Operating and Installation
Instructions before putting into operation is necessary even for users experienced in
applying pneumatic diaphragm pumps. Special tools or devices are not required. A multi-
functional mounting tool [36] is enclosed with every pump.
You can as well send your FUTUR pump to our facilities in Kamp-Lintfort, Germany, if
your workshop is not equipped accordingly or if you wish to avoid contamination during
repairs which would subsequently give rise to extensive rinsing processes when reused in
the plant. The required service is carried out promptly and under strict purity conditions.
As a general rule in the countries of the EU only such machines are allowed to take into
operation, which are determined to meet the regulations of the EU machinery directive,
the harmonized standards, European standards and the respective national standards.
Hence the operator has to verify whether the ALMATEC pump manufactured and
delivered properly according to the customers order meets the mentioned requirements.
All wetted parts of the FUTUR T and FUTUR H consist of PTFE, the wetted housing parts
of the FUTUR E are made of UPPE (ultra pure polyethylene) and of the FUTUR S/SH of
SS316L. Before putting any pump into operation, make sure, that the materials of
construction are resistant to the liquid to be pumped.
The maximum operating pressure is limited to 6 bar and the allowed maximum
temperature of the liquid can be taken from the technical data on page 4. For the FUTUR
H and FUTUR T the maximum permissible limits for driving pressure and temperature of
the medium are mutually dependent.

Operation in explosion-proof areas and for inflammable liquids
The FUTUR models S and SH are conformed to the ATEX regulations and therefore can
be used or inflammable liquids as well as for applications in explosion-proof areas, The
pumps have to grounded to the corresponding connection on the backside of the center
housing. All other housing parts are connected to the pump housing, so it is not necessary
to ground single parts.
Grounded pumps are suitable to be used in explosion areas of the category 2 and 3,
atmosphere G/D, which are liable to the EU regulation 2014/34/EU. Conductive
diaphragms (liquid side) are applicable without restrictions for transferring liquids of any
explosion-group.
When using non-conductive diaphragm materials, the following exemplary protection
measures have to be respected:
-The pump is always used for the transfer of exclusively fluids which are conductive or
soluble in water or
-Dry-running is avoided by action steps within the facility and/or its control or
- The system is inertisated in case of dry running by nitrogen, water, carbon dioxide etc.
when the fluid transfer ends.
Piping systems and product connections have to be grounded separately. To avoid
ignition hazards the formation of dust deposits on the pumps must be prevented. In
explosion proof areas repair working only after careful inspection of the practicability and
only with appropriate tools. For the ATEX marking according to 2014/34/EU please see
the attached conformity declaration and the according pump label.
Installation into the piping
UV-radiation can damage the housing parts of pumps made of PE. Pumps must be
connected load free without any tension. They cannot serve as a fixed point for the piping.
Neglecting this causes leakage and maybe even damages. In case movements or
vibrations have to be expected, we recommend the installation of compensators upstream
and downstream of the pump. The FUTUR can be used standing free or can be installed
using the anchor bolt bushings [27]. The operator is responsible for an adequately stability
and an appropriate fixation of the piping according to the state of the art. To facilitate the
installation and maintenance shut off valves should be installed right before and after the
pump.
Connection of the suction and discharge line
The nominal width of the connection pipes has to be chosen in accordance to the
connections of the pump:
Pump size

20
50

Nominal port size (NPT)
3/8“

1 1/4“
A smaller piping can cause cavitation (suction line) as well as a loss of performance
(suction and discharge line). In case the pipe is too big, the dry suction capacity of the
pump can decrease. The suction line must be connected to the lower port of the center
housing [1] and the discharge line to the upper port. A suction line with a steady upward
gradient prevents the formation of air bubbles in the line obstructing the suction
performance. As option the pumps can be equipped with Flaretek®connectors for PFA-
pipe (special equipment code G) and VCR connectors for FUTUR S/SH (code V).

FUTUR · Page 8
Connection of the air supply
The bore to connect the compressed air is located in the left
hand side housing [16] opposite to the muffler [20]. An
appropriate cross-section of the air supply line must be ensured
to supply the pump with driving air sufficiently. The line must be
at least equal to the nominal width of the connection of the pump
(R 1/4). The integrated air control system PERSWING P®is a
precision-steering that requires oil-free, dry and clean
compressed air for optimal function. The following minimum
requirements of the air quality classes according to ISO-DIS
8573-1 must be met:
Solids content Class 2
Water content Class 3
Oil content Class 3
In humid surroundings, icing from the outside may occur despite the driving air is dried. If
so, a prolonged waste-air-exhaust (ca. 500 mm by pipe or hose) can be helpful. When
installing the pump into boards or cabinets, it has to be ensured that cold air does not get
caught behind the muffler. In applications with a tendency to freezing at the waste air
exhaust, good experiences in practise have been achieved by pre-heating the driving air
to increase the distance to the dew point of the air. Doing so, it has to be considered that
the driving air temperature generally may not exceed 50°C to avoid expansion and
sticking effects on the air side.
Start-up and operation of the pump
The pump is ready to be operated after the connection of all lines. The pressure of the
driving air should be limited to the amount required to meet the performance needed.
Excessive pressure increases both the air consumption and the wear of the pump.
However, the air-pressure should not be lower than 1,5 bar to ensure a steady and
reliable flow. The pump is regulated by tuning the flow rate of the air (needle valve). An
empty pump has to be driven slowly. In general, dry running at high frequency or for an
extended period of time has to be avoided for air-operated double diaphragm pumps with
a centred flow pattern. Any disregard may result in damaging the pump functionally. The
pump starts operating automatically when air is supplied. As FUTUR pumps are self-
priming, it is not necessary to pre-fill the suctions line and the pump itself. The suction
capacity of a filled pump is much bigger, however; any throttling on the suction side can
damage the pump. Short-term operation against a closed discharge for pressure testing is
possible. In case special ways of operation (e.g. closed discharge) are necessary, this has
to be tuned with the manufacturer. The max. stroke frequencies listed in the table below
may not be exceeded during normal every-day operation. Otherwise, premature wear has
to be expected.

Safety hints
Installation, operation, and maintenance by qualified staff only.
Before start-up respectively after the first hours of operation, the union nuts [22]
must be checked for tightness; if necessary they have to be tightened. This may
also be necessary after longer periods of stoppage, with large variations of
temperature, transport as well as disassembly of the pump.
Before start-up of the pump anyone should acquaint oneself with the explanations
of the chapter troubleshooting (see pages 13/14). Only by this the defect quickly
can be realized and eliminated in case of trouble. Problems which cannot be
solved or with an unknown reason should be passed on to the manufacturer.
Before any maintenance and service procedures arising on the pump or on the
optional equipments, the complete installation has to be turned off and protected
against accidental turn on. This is possible by a lockable emergency stop for the
air supply of the pump. Additional a danger sign against restart should be
attached.
Pressure tests of the plant a pump is included in may only be carried out with the
pump disconnected from the pressure on both ports or by using the pressure the
pump develops while operating. The load of a pressure in the plant may damage
the pump.
Pump must not be operated with a positive suction pressure.
Depending on the conditions of operation, the liquid conveyed might escape from
the pump through the muffler in case of a diaphragm rupture (in this case muffler
has to be replaced). For further safety requirements the optional equipment
diaphragm monitoring is recommended.
In case of a diaphragm rupture, it might be possible for the fluid pumped to intrude
into the air side of the pump. In very adverse conditions - e.g. pressure within the
fluid system during stopped air supply - the fluid might as well find its way into the
air supply lines. To protect other devices like pulsation dampers or even
pneumatic valves, it is recommended to protect the air supply line accordingly,
e.g. via a non-return valve. This would as well avoid polluting the air supply line.
The state of the muffler has to be inspected regularly, as a blocked muffler can be
forced out of the pump. If this happens, damages of properties and/or persons
cannot be excluded.
In case of delivery of hot liquids the wetted pump must not standstill for a longer
time, because it could lead to temporary leaks in the valve area and to a blockade
of the air control system.
The relevant effective security advises have to be respected.
Pools of liquid which appear in the near outer area of the pump have to be
inspected on danger potential, if necessary safety measures are to be taken.
Chemical and biological reactions in the product chamber of the pump (mixture of
different substances) and the freezing of the liquid have to be avoided.
Before starting to disassemble the pump, take care that the pump has been
emptied and rinsed. Both ports piping are to be closed and drained if applicable.
Further the pump has to be cut off from any energy on the air and product side. If
the pump is being deported from the plant, a reference about the delivered liquid
has to be attached.
Procedure for rinsing: rinse the pump with neutral product, then turn around to the
top, afterwards 90° to the side, and finally back to the top. Repeat this rinsing
procedure several times.
Please respect the relevant additional security advices, if the pump has been used
for aggressive, dangerous or toxic liquids (e.g. suitable protective equipment
according to the safety data sheet of the liquid). In case of a diaphragm rupture, it
is possible that residues of the liquid remain behind the diaphragms, in the area of
the air control system and at the muffler, despite of several flushing processes.
Hence, appropriate safety equipment according to the safety data sheet of the
liquid is indispensable.
Before putting the pump back into operation, the tightness of the pump has to be

FUTUR · Page 10
checked.
Air-operated diaphragm pumps can lead to bruises when lifting, sinking or
assembling them. Appropriate accessories and safety equipments are to be used.
Big and heavy modules have to fixed and secured to lifting gears when
transporting/replacing them.
Especially when deliver critical liquids, wear parts, like diaphragms, should be
replaced within a preventive maintenance.
The use of non-original ALMATEC spare parts and structural changes lead to the
lapse of the warranty immediately. When operating such a pump, damages of
properties and/or persons cannot be excluded.
The operation of the pump with nitrogen as driving gas is possible. In closed
rooms sufficient ventilation must be provided.
Possible electrical connections (e.g. when using optional equipment with
controllers) may be executed by a qualified person only. The regulations of the
respective manufacturers are to be followed.
At any work arising it has to be made sure that no explosive atmosphere can
appear. Appropriate safety equipment is recommended.
Procedure for pump return: According to the requirements of our 14001-
certification, every unit which is send to ALMATEC for diagnosis or maintenance
reasons has to be accompanied by a filled out decontamination-sheet. Otherwise
a processing is not possible. The decontamination-sheet is enclosed to this
manual. Please pay attention to the further safety regulations.
Additional temperature hints
The temperature and pressure limitations listed on page 4 are solely based on mechanical
temperature limits of the housing material used. Depending on the fluid pumped, the
maximum safe operating temperature of the housing material can be reduced significantly.
A general aspect of lower temperatures is, that below 0°C cold-brittling of the elastomers
used within the pumps can results in accelerated wear. Regarding the housing materials,
please note that PE - other than PP - keeps its mechanical strengths at low temperatures
and PTFE keeps mechanically stable as well for an extended temperature range.
ALMATEC pumps can therefore be operated safely as well within low-temperature
installations: However, with liquids below 0°C accelerated wear of internal parts has to be
accepted. Moreover, freezing, bogging or crystallisation of the fluid pumped must be
avoided, especially within the pump.
Please consider, that viscosity and specific gravity of most fluids change with temperature
(most often increasing at lower temperature). Depending on the application, this fact may
not only result in result in a reduced flow rate, the pump may even be unable to prime the
thicker and/or “heavier“ fluid any more.

Disassembly
When dismantling a pump the mentioned procedures and safety notes on the pages
6 - 10 have to be considered generally.
On both sides of the pump unscrew the head screws [29,30] with a screwdriver and
remove the base frame [25]. Take out O-rings air channel [26].
Screw the muffler [20] (at pump size 10 additionally the adapter muffler [21]) and the black
plug [18] out of the side housing left hand [16]. Insert suitable round bar in one of the bore
holes of the union nut [22] of the side housing left hand [16] and use it to unscrew the
union nut [22]. Remove side housing left hand [16] from union nut [22]. Take the sliding
ring [24] from the side housing left hand [16] and the O-ring union nut [23] from the union
nut [22]. Unscrew the air valve cover [19] out of the side housing left hand [16] by using
the mounting tool [36]. Lay down the side housing left hand [16] flat on the side and if
necessary, the PERSWING P® air control system [35] (without pilot piston) can be shoved
out completely to the air valve cover side. Take the piston rings diaphragm bolt [15] out of
diaphragm bolt left hand [12]. Draw the pilot piston of the air control system out of the
diaphragm bolt left hand [12].
Insert suitable round bar in one of the bore holes of the union nut [22] of the side housing
right hand [14] and use it to unscrew the union nut [22]. Remove side housing right hand
[14] from union nut [22]. Take the sliding ring [24] from the side housing right hand [14]
and the O-ring union nut [23] from the union nut [22].
Place the center housing [1] upright with product connectors to the front. Draw the O-ring
diaphragm outer [9] from both sides. Unscrew diaphragm bolt left hand [12] and
diaphragm bolt right hand [13] out of the diaphragms [7]. Unscrew one of the diaphragms
[7] out of the cascade sleeve [11]. Remove the second diaphragm [7] together with the
cascade sleeve [11] and unscrew them. Check the O-ring diaphragm inner [8] and renew
if necessary (twist prevention). Remove gaskets diaphragm [10], they have to be replaced
in any case.
Disassembly of the product valves of models FUTUR T / H / E:
Stand the center housing [1] upright again to take out the discharge valves. Loosen both
valve stops discharge valve [6] at the top of the center housing [1] using the mounting tool
[36]. Take out the exposed check valves [4]. One valve stop suction valve [5] is located at
the front of the center housing [1] (between the product connectors), the other one at the
rear. Unscrew both with the mounting tool [36] and draw the check valves [4] out of the
center housing [1] sideways.
Disassembly of the product valves of models FUTUR S / SH:
Put the center housing [1] upwards again to remove the check valves [4]. Loosen the two
valve stops [5] at the top of the center housing [1] with mounting tool [36] and remove
gaskets valve stop [3]. Take out first the exposed discharge check valves [4], then the
check valve housings [2] and the gaskets check valve housing [3]. Finally remove the
suction check valves [4].
Assembly
The individual components are basically assembled in exactly the reverse order to that
described for the disassembly. Therefore, this chapter contains mostly supplementary
information.

FUTUR · Page 12
One important aspect to be paid attention to is that all damaged sealing elements have to
be replaced in any case. Piston rings [15] and gaskets diaphragm [10] must not be reused
after being disassembled; new rings have to be fitted! The piston rings diaphragm bolt [15]
are slashed, so it is easy to put them into the groove.
Press the whole cartridge of the PERSWING P® air control system [35] (without pilot
piston) from the air valve cover side into the side housing left hand [16] (Attention: do not
damage O-rings, moisten O-rings before assembly!).
The valve stops [5,6] must be screwed in until they match the surface of the center
housing [1] flushly. For the FUTUR S / SH stainless steel models, the valve housings [2]
must first be installed in such a way that the round windows in the upper area release the
fluid channel. Then insert the gaskets valve housing [3]. Finally the valve stops [5,6] must
be screwed in until they match the surface of the center housing [1] flushly.
Lay down the center housing [1] on the left hand side and insert the gasket diaphragm
[10] carefully. Screw the diaphragm bolt right hand [13] into the diaphragm [7]. Screw the
diaphragm [7] into the cascade sleeve [11] and push it into the center housing [1]. Insert
the O-ring diaphragm outer [9] into the diaphragm recess. Position the side housing right
hand [14] in that way that the straight surface with the air bore holes is parallel to the
lower side of the center housing [1]. Put on the sliding ring [24]. Lay the O-Ring union nut
[23] in the union nut [22] and screw in the union nut [22] in the center housing [1]. When
screwing in the union nut [22], insert a round bar in a bore hole of the side housing right
hand [14] to prevent its rotating.
Insert the gasket diaphragm into the left side of the center housing [1] carefully. To install
the second diaphragm [7], the just mounted diaphragm [7] has to subjected with
compressed air. For this the middle air bore holes on the right hand side of the center
housing [1] is to use. The air feeding has to maintain as long as the left hand diaphragm
[7] is tight to the center housing [1]. Screw the diaphragm bolt left hand [12] into the
diaphragm [7] and insert the pilot piston of the air control system [35] in the diaphragm
bolt left hand [12]. The assembly of the side housing left hand [16] is to do analog to the
described procedure of the side housing right hand [14]. Do not forget to insert the fifth O-
ring air valve housing before screwing the air valve cover [19]. Finally screw in the muffler
[20] and the plug [18].
Because the just installed gaskets diaphragm [10] need time to settle, the assembly of the
pump has to be rested for at least two hours.

After this break tighten the both union nuts [22] according to the nominal dimensions of
the table above (space between outer edge of the union nut and center housing). When
doing this pay attention to the described lockpin of the side housings [14,16] and to the
parallel array to the center housing [1].

Special equipment
Pneumatic stroke counting (code C 9 / C 10)
On the codes C 9 / C 10 the strokes of the pump are registered pneumatically. The pressure switch
registers the changes in pressure within the air chamber behind one of the diaphragms.
The pneumatic stroke counting system is available in two types:
* C 9 pressure switch 1 - 10 bar, cpl. assembled with bracket; socket with
cable 5 m; adapter straight NPT ¼”; hose DN 4/6, 2.5 m
* C 10as C 9 and a stroke counter
Assembly: Remove the black plug [18] (see arrow) out of the additional air
connection of the side housing left hand [16] and screw in the adapter straight.
Link up the adaptor straight and the pressure switch with the hose. Connect the
socket to the electrical connection plug of the pressure switch and the cable to
existing registering devices (code C 9) resp. to the enclosed stroke counter
(code 10). Technical data, connection schemes and further details can be
found in the technical documentation delivered by the manufacturers of the
pressure transmitter and the stroke counter.
!!!
The pneumatic stroke counting system requires a minimum counter pressure of 1.5 bar for
optimal function!
Diaphragm monitoring sensor (code D)
The diaphragm sensor is installed into the muffler of the pump and registers any liquid, regardless of its
conductivity. Hence, an immediate reaction after a diaphragm rupture is possible. However, it has to be
considered, that the diaphragm monitoring possibly cannot prevent that liquid can leave the pump via the
muffler. In case of humid surrounding air a false alert may occur despite operating the pump with dried
compressed air. Diaphragm monitoring is available in three variations:
* D 1 Diaphragm sensor, 2-wire-Namur, intrinsically safe EEx ia IIC T6
* D 5 Diaphragm sensor, 3-wire
* D 6 Diaphragm sensor, 3-wire with plug (only pump sizes 10 - 50)
For further details, please refer to the data delivered by the manufacturer.
Flaretek®-connectors for PFA-pipe (code G)
The suction and the discharge ports of the FUTUR T and FUTUR H can be equipped with Flaretek®-
connectors for PFA piping which are widely used in the semiconductor industry. The Flaretek®-connectors
are fitted by the manufacturer and must not be removed or replaced! They have been specially modified for
the FUTUR and have been fitted in gas-tight. The correct functioning, sealing and purity of the pumps can
only be warranted with these original product connectors!
VCR-connectors (code V)
Suction and the discharge port of the FUTUR S/SH pumps can optionally be equipped with VCR-connectors
[52] made of stainless steel (size 20 for 1/2” pipe, size 50 for 1” pipe) including a gasket [53].
