In October 2026, BMG introduced the Ingersoll Rand ARO EVO series 210 electric double diaphragm pump range to the South African market. This new series replaces traditional compressed air systems with an electric motor to improve efficiency and reduce operational noise.
Why it matters
The transition to electric-driven pumping technology helps industrial facilities lower energy consumption and mitigate noise levels in the workplace. By removing the need for compressed air, operators can achieve greater control over fluid movement while reducing overall utility costs.
The 1-inch EVO 210 model operates with a 1,5 kW four-pole electric motor. The series is available in both metallic and non-metallic configurations and is built to meet ISO 12100 standards with full CE certification.
The players
BMG
BMG is a South African industrial supplier that provides components and technical solutions for the manufacturing and mining sectors.
Ingersoll Rand
Ingersoll Rand is a global manufacturer specialising in flow creation and industrial technologies, including the ARO range of pumps.
The details
The pump utilises an electric motor to power a mechanism that moves flexible diaphragms in a controlled reciprocating motion, drawing fluid into the chamber before discharge. Designers included a maintenance feature that allows access to both diaphragms from one side, and users can opt for electronic leak detection.
Timeline
BMG introduced the EVO series 210 pump range in October 2026.
Roadmap
The introduction of the EVO 210 signals a broader industrial pivot away from compressed air systems, which have historically dominated diaphragm pumping applications. This transition mirrors the wider electrification trend seen across the engineering sector as firms prioritise energy efficiency.
Industrial facilities in South Africa can now replace noisy, air-dependent equipment with more efficient electric alternatives. Maintenance teams will benefit from the simplified design that allows servicing from a single side of the unit.
The takeaway
Operators should evaluate their current compressed air usage to identify where electric motors can reduce total energy expenditure. Implementing this design can lead to quieter operations and more streamlined maintenance cycles for local industrial plants.
