Hydra-Cell D10EPCGHFECA Seal-less Diaphragm Pump
If you're moving fluids that would tear apart a conventional pump, the Hydra-Cell D10EPCGHFECA is built for exactly that fight. This bare-shaft, shaft-driven pump replaces the earlier D10EKCGHFECA and brings a Kel-Cell design that's more forgiving when inlet conditions aren't ideal — think partially blocked lines, low supply pressure, or thick, gritty fluids. Because there are no dynamic seals, packing, or cups anywhere in the pump, there's nothing to wear out and leak, which means less downtime and far fewer maintenance headaches over the life of the unit.
The pump body is cast iron with a nickel-plated finish, paired with a Viton (FKM) diaphragm and o-ring along with 17-4 stainless steel valve seats and valves, so it holds up well against abrasive particulates and a wide range of chemically demanding fluids. Running at up to 1,750 RPM, it delivers a maximum flow of 8.8 GPM, and its multiple-diaphragm design keeps the flow smooth and nearly pulse-free without needing extra dampening equipment.
Whether it's feeding an industrial process line, handling slurry, or moving high-viscosity fluid that other pumps simply can't tolerate, the D10EPCGHFECA is engineered to keep running reliably with minimal upkeep. It's a straightforward, rugged choice for operations that need dependable, seal-less pumping day after day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the Hydra-Cell D10EPCGHFECA run dry without damage?
A: Yes, its seal-less design allows it to run dry without harming the pump, which also makes it more tolerant of adverse inlet conditions.
Q: What fluids is this pump best suited for?
A: It's designed for the full range of low-to-high-viscosity fluids, including abrasive slurries and corrosive chemicals that would damage conventional pumps.
Q: Does this pump include a motor or drive?
A: No, the D10EPCGHFECA is sold as a bare shaft, shaft-driven pump only and requires a separate drive system.
Q: How does the Kel-Cell version differ from standard Hydra-Cell pumps?
A: The Kel-Cell design helps prevent diaphragm failure caused by poor inlet conditions, such as restricted supply lines or excessive vacuum, making troubleshooting easier when issues arise.
Q: What replaced this model or does it replace another model?
A: The D10EPCGHFECA is a product update that replaced the earlier D10EKCGHFECA model.
