Key Features

Pivot-Shaft Air Valve Technology

Unique frictionless pivot air valve eliminates wear points for superior reliability, consistent startup performance, and reduced air consumption compared to conventional spool valve designs.

DEF-Optimized Materials

Conductive polypropylene body with Santoprene/TPV diaphragms and stainless steel valve seats specifically selected for safe, long-term compatibility with Diesel Exhaust Fluid.

Simplified Maintenance Access

In-line servicing capability allows maintenance of air valve, diaphragms, and ball valves without disconnecting from the fluid distribution system, minimizing downtime.

Energy-Efficient Operation

Reduced air consumption per gallon pumped lowers operating costs and eliminates the need for oversized compressors while maintaining consistent 13.5 gal/min flow rate.

Solids Handling Capability

Handles suspended solids up to 3/32 inch (2.5 mm) in size, providing tolerance for real-world fluid conditions and extending service intervals.

Compact Universal Design

Space-saving footprint (9.84 x 8.98 x 10.95 inches) fits into tight installations while the 1/2-inch BSP ports integrate easily with standard DEF distribution systems.

Ideal Applications

Mobile lube trucks and service vehicles requiring reliable DEF transfer systems
Car and truck dealerships with DEF dispensing and fluid management needs
Fleet maintenance facilities and mining operations handling DEF for diesel equipment
Agricultural operations and in-plant transfer systems requiring efficient DEF handling

Frequently Asked

What fluids is the Balcrank 1120-052 pump designed to handle?+
The 1120-052 is specifically designed and recommended for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) transfer and dispensing. The conductive polypropylene construction, Santoprene/TPV diaphragms, and stainless steel valve seats are optimized for safe, long-term DEF compatibility. The pump can handle fluids with suspended solids up to 3/32 inch in size.
What air pressure is required to operate this pump?+
The 1120-052 operates on compressed air within a range of 20 to 100 psi (1.5 to 7 bar). The pump's efficient Pivot-Shaft air valve design reduces air consumption compared to conventional diaphragm pumps, lowering operating costs and compressor requirements while delivering up to 13.5 gal/min flow.
How does the Pivot-Shaft air valve improve reliability?+
Unlike conventional spool valves with sliding friction surfaces, the Pivot-Shaft air valve uses a frictionless pivoting design that eliminates wear points. This results in more reliable startups, tolerance to oil and moisture contamination, no air leaks when stalled against system pressure, and significantly reduced maintenance needs over the pump's service life.
