Overview
FTI AIR is a comprehensive line of air-operated double diaphragm pumps meticulously designed from the ground up, using state-of-the-art computer-aided design resources. Every pump component was run-tested continuously for many hundreds of hours at Finish Thompson and in field tests during development, resulting in one of the most reliable, rugged and affordable air-operated double diaphragm pumps on the market today. As well as a complete range of polypropylene, PVDF, aluminium and stainless steel models, the FTI AIR portfolio includes FDA compliant wetted material pumps and ATEX versions.
