Agricultural

Comet diaphragm pumps are synonymous with quality and innovation. Recognized all over the world, Comet diaphragm pumps are ideal for high pressure airblast and boom spray applications in orchards, vineyards, nurseries, and green houses.

Aluminum and Steel Mills

Hardened bauxite dust on mills, filters, floors, tanks, sumps and sewers; water scale, coke, ore, and lime in heat exchangers, flues, boilers, open hearths, furnaces, chutes and hoppers; descaling billets and water hydraulics; mill scale, tight rust, and weld slag from vessels, tanks, and pipes.

Automotive

Paint booths, machinery, gratings, conveyers, dollies, and skids.

Aviation

Expansion joints, grease, rubber, and hydraulic fluids on airport runways.

Breweries and Distilleries

Yeast, sediments and fermentation residues on vats, pipes, and facilities; cleaning boiler tubes, vats, and pipe lines.

Carpet Cleaning

The Comet P33T diaphragm pump out system is the gold standard in commercial truck-mount carpet cleaning. Oversized check valves allow for easy passing of dirt and debris of wastewater. We also offer a patented high pressure plunger pump for the pressure side.

Cement Plants

Remove dirt, grease, and product build up on grates, floors, external piping, bins, walls, hopper cars, and handling equipment; cooler hearths and pre-heater columns, bins, hopper cars, floors, rotary kilns, and walls.

Chemical Processing

Chemicals from boiler tubes, tanks, valves, evaporators, heat exchangers, tube bundles, pipes, vessels, reactors, and facilities.

Construction and Renovation

Asphalt distributors, mixers, tar cookers and pavers; asphalt, dirt, concrete, mortar, tar, grease, mastic, and clay on vehicles, mixer trucks, and machinery; canals, lifts, dams and runways; cleaning of natural stone walling, removal of joint materials, coats, damaged or corroded coatings from floors and walls, roughening of concrete and stone surfaces.

Deicing

Comet is the preferred pump brand for aircraft and roadway deicing and anti-icing sprayers. Diaphragm pumps can handle ethylene glycol at reasonably warm temperatures to allow spraying in even the coldest weather.

Food and Beverages Processing

Fats, oils, dirt and dough, food residues from vats, ovens, mixers, conveyors and facilities; cleaning of cold storage facilities, slaughter houses, fish and meat butchers, sugar processing plants, bottling plants, food cutting, evaporators, milk tanks, centralized dairy systems, ultra-filtration by reverse osmosis; water jet cutting.

Foundries

Removal of deposits, metal oxidation, ceramic, and sand core materials from castings, furnaces, and paddles.

Horizontal Drilling

Horizontal directional drilling is a process done in oilfield fracking as well as utility installation and repair. Comet pumps are used to lubricate and cool the drill bit. Often times, the water is premixed with bentonite clay to reinforce the hole being drilled to prevent collapse. In this case, diaphragm pumps are the best solution as they easily pass the clay particles while providing adequate flow and pressure.

Hydrodemolition

Concrete cement cutting, reclamation and wet sandblasting of tunnels also using special robots. Concrete surface hydro-ripping for large infrastructure, dams, viaducts, homes and offices. Surface penetration.

Marine

Removal of marine growth, barnacles, loose paint, and rust on ship hulls, docks, ballasts, platforms, condensers, floating draydocks, anchor chains, storage tanks and boilers. Underwater cleaning of pipes and drilling platforms, of barnacles and marine growth to “white metal.” Coatings removal prior to repainting. Draining of sludge and sediments from cargo holds, ballast tanks, and double bottoms. Surface penetration.
