Air Driven Liquid Pumps - Pneumatic Pumps
Maximator high pressure liquid pumps are designed to generate a variety of pressure using oil, water, and other fluids. The liquid pumps are designed to be compact in size while providing the requisite amount of applied pressure. Their ease of installation and operation make them a reliable and cost-effective product for demanding industrial applications.
The air driven liquid pumps are driven by pressures from the air or noble gases. These pumps have the capability to fulfill your specific needs, from low pressures of 580 psi to high pressures of 60,000 psi. This makes the Maximator high pressure pumps perfect for applications, which require stepped flow rates, and varied operating pressures.
High Pressure Technologies offers a variety of Maximator air driven liquid pumps. As there are numerous models to choose from, finding the right pump for an application can be a tough task for a customer. For this reason, we have provided the following steps to choose the right high pressure pump for an application.
1. Confirm the Application Fluid: Knowledge of the fluid to be pumped can reduce the amount of time needed to select a liquid pump. For example, if you know that the application will feature a combination of oil and water, then you can look at the PPO or S Series liquid pumps.
2. Determine Minimum Plant Air Pressure: Simply knowing the type of fluid is insufficient. The air pressure required to drive the fluid is also important. Once you have the minimum air pressure available in your plant, you can search for a pneumatic pump that meets your needs.
3. Decide on the Outlet Pressure: This point can be best explained with an example. Let us assume your application comprises chemicals. These chemicals need to be transferred at pressures between 60 and 10,000 PSI. If this is your requirement, then you should consider looking at the PPSF series.
4. Determine the Flow Rate: The flow rate required for an application can be established by answering a few important questions:
Flow rates can be further established by examining the outlet and air drive pressures of each pump.
At High Pressure Tech, we strive to ensure that your pump selection process is effortless without consuming excess time. Contact us if you have any further queries regarding Maximator air driven liquid pumps.

Construction and Operations
The operation of high pressure liquid pumps is based on the principle of an oscillating pressure intensifier. In simple terms, the principle states that pumping can continue even if the pressure reduces. The pumps function using compressed air ranging from 1 to 10 bar. This allows the pump to continue its operation despite any pressure drops.
The construction of Maximator pumps is designed to support the oscillating pressure principle. They feature the following components:
- Drive piston
- Suction chamber
- Air piston joint
- Diameter plunger
- Inlet check valve
- Outlet check valve
The air piston joint is connected to the small diameter plunger. The pressure ratio is the key to determining the maximum outlet pressure. Higher outlet pressures can be gained by simply increasing the pressure ratios.
The pumps are self-priming, and generally, do not require the use of airline lubricator. The liquid flows into the suction chamber due to the upstroke of the drive piston. This suction effect causes the inlet check valve to open, while and the outlet check valve is closed. Down-stroke generates the required pressure for an application. The generated pressure causes the inlet check valve to close, and the outlet check valve to open. The pressure is then transferred to the application equipment.
Maximator pneumatic liquid pumps consist of automatic cycles. The cycles slow down when there is a build-up of pressure. Once the output pressure forces are equalized, the pump stops automatically. The pump restarts if there is an increase in the air drive pressure, or a slight drop in.
Maximator high pressure pumps can provide a variety of benefits to technical applications in various industries.
- The pressure can be regulated by using one of two components – manual pressure control units, or pneumatically triggered valves.
- The pneumatic liquid pumps are extremely appropriate for application in explosion-proof areas.
- Substitution of leakages by automatic additional delivery of liquid from the pump
- The pump does not consume excess energy even when it is maintaining the requisite pressure for long periods of time.
- No heat loss takes place during the pressure holding stage.
- The high pressure liquid pumps provide ease of installation and quiet operation.
- The pump is self-contained. The product only requires connections for the suction, pressure lines, and air supply.
Maximator high efficiency pumps are ideal for a broad variety of oil, water and chemical applications.

Tips and Warning
The following tips and warnings can help ensure durable operation and performance of Maximator air driven liquid pumps.
- The pump’s outlet pressure can be set easily via an air regulator.
- The model numbers of each pump reflect the nominal pressure ratios, while the technical data indicates the exact ratios.
- In an application, the minimum liquid pressure can be calculated by multiplying the pressure ratio with the available shop air pressure.
- The performance of the pneumatic liquid pump can be affected by a number of conditions. These include dirty filters, deficient inlet sizes, and freezing of the pilot valves.
