Possible applications

【For wastewater treatment】
Equipment used for wastewater treatment in developing countries is easy to breakdown and is often left unattended resulting in water pollution. FujiClean Air Pumps have 2 years warranty and normally keep working for 10 years with the good taking care of. They are effective in preventing water pollution as core equipment for sustainable wastewater treatment.

【Aquaculture】
In Asia, aquaculture is flourishing in Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and other countries. Our air pumps are expected to contribute to the aeration for shrimp and other aquaculture (see Fig. 2). Aquaculture farms are often located far from urban cities and air pump that is easy to maintain and has a long lifetime is very useful.

Competitive advantage

【Energy efficient, Light weight  FujiClean Air Pump vs Other types of blowers】
Compared to other types of blowers, diaphragm air pump has superior energy-saving performance at low air flow volume and are lightweight and easy to handle.

In case of 500L/min, 20kPa	FujiClean Air pumps	Roots blower	Rotary Blowers
Power consumption (50Hz)	250W×2units	750W×1unit	750W×1unit
Weight	9kg×2units	40 kg×1unit	55kg×1unit
Size	330×180×200×2units	630×420×405×1unit	690×300×530×1unit

【Energy efficiency FujiClean Air Pumps vs Major Competitive Air Pumps】

Energy efficient air pumps have been developed through R & D.

Manufacturer	Power consumption (W), in case of 120L/min	Power consumption (W), in case of 200L/min
FujiClean	86	140
Company A	92	175
Company B	128	190
Company C	130	215
Company D	115	210

 

【Long lifetime (Two Years Warranty)】
Only FujiClean Air Pump provides two years warranty because of the following three factors.

1. Suppression of internal heating
   The diaphragms keep moving and plays important role in air pump. If the internal temperature of air pump rises by 10 ℃ lifetime of diaphragms will be 50 %. Therefore suppression of internal heating is a key for long lifetime. FujiClean developed original rare metal magnets to successfully suppress internal heating.

2. Safety switch
   FujiClean Air Pumps have a reliable patented safety switch.When the diaphragms get damaged the oscillator (magnet) moves undesirably resulting in the damage of other important parts, but the safety switch automatically turns the circuit off.

3. Durable original diaphragm
   R & D based durable EPDM diaphragm is a third key for long lifetime.
