Iwaki SP83-30 Pump Bellows 230VAC – OEM Replacement Part
The Iwaki SP83-30 is a 230VAC electric bellows pump built for dependable fluid handling in demanding industrial and laboratory settings. Rather than being limited to any single application, this pump is engineered for versatility, moving corrosive acids, alkalis, and other chemically aggressive fluids with a single-piece molded bellows design that eliminates the leak points common in shaft-sealed pumps. Because the bellows itself is free of seals, the pump can run dry without damage and self-prime without manual intervention, making it a practical choice wherever consistent, low-maintenance fluid transfer matters.
Built around a rugged drive mechanism, the SP83-30 is designed to handle tens of millions of expansion and contraction cycles, giving it a service life that holds up under continuous or intermittent duty cycles alike. Its compact footprint suits installations where panel or skid space is limited, while its polypropylene and synthetic rubber construction resists degradation from a wide range of process chemicals. Whether used for plating baths, water treatment dosing, photographic processing, or general industrial chemical transfer, this pump brings the same corrosion resistance and structural reliability to every setting.
For facilities standardizing on Iwaki equipment, the SP83-30 offers straightforward compatibility with existing SP-series installations, simplifying maintenance planning and spare parts inventory. Its 230VAC power configuration makes it a natural fit for standard industrial electrical infrastructure, reducing the need for additional power conversion equipment during installation.
