Debem Boxer 522 Large Air-Operated Diaphragm Pump
Description
A 2-inch AODD pump for bulk transfer up to 600 l/min
The Boxer 522 is the largest plastic pump in the standard Boxer range, with 2 inch BSPP connections and a rated maximum of 600 l/min. The sheet pairs it with the Boxer 502, the aluminium and AISI 316 version. Large solids handling of up to 8 mm, dry suction lift of 5 m and a pneumatic drive make it a workhorse for tank-farm transfer, sump emptying, chemical bund recovery and filter-press feed.

Handling and installation at this size
A 38 kg to 54 kg pump needs lifting gear and a rigid, flat support. The Boxer manual specifies a horizontal pump axis with the delivery manifold at the top, cylindrical-thread fittings in the same material as the pump, and no rigid pipe connected directly to the ports. Because the 522 moves up to 600 l/min, undersized suction hose is the usual cause of poor performance, so use a hose larger than the port for viscous or negative-suction duty and keep the pump within 2.5 m of the source.
Datasheet accessories are a basket filter in polypropylene or PVDF with G 2 inch fittings, a foot valve, an air regulation kit W8000-20-G, a stroke counter, reinforcement rings and a DIN flange kit; ANSI flanges are on request.
Plan maintenance from day one. The manual contains a scheduled maintenance table plus separate checks for the product circuit and the air circuit, and it lists diaphragm rupture as a residual risk when scheduled maintenance is skipped. Stock spare diaphragms, balls and O-rings in the material fitted to the pump, and keep the nameplate code on file so that replacements match the original configuration.
ATEX and IECEx marking
The 502 and 522 share the family marking: Zone 2 and Zone 22 as standard, Zone 1 and Zone 21 in CONDUCT version on request, and Zone M2 for non-aluminium pumps. The manual keeps the process fluid within the temperature class, so for Zone 1 duty remember that the stated limit is 80°C and that a detection device is needed if that value could be exceeded. The internal area of the pump is not ATEX-rated for powders.
Documents and quotation
The technical sheet for the 502 and 522 shows dimensions, materials and curves. Quote with fluid, temperature, flow, head, solids and zone. Further pumps are listed in the catalogue, including the VERDERAIR VA50 for smaller metallic AODD duties.

About brand
Debem is an Italian industrial pump manufacturer based in Busto Arsizio, near Varese, founded in 1982 by Marco De Bernardi. The company builds air-operated double diaphragm pumps, drum transfer pumps, chemical centrifugal pumps and pulsation dampeners, mainly in polypropylene, PVDF, aluminium and AISI 316 L for aggressive and difficult fluids.
Debem pump families
The Boxer, Cubic and FoodBoxer ranges cover air-operated diaphragm pumps from compact sizes to 600 l/min, with ATEX and IECEx versions listed for explosive atmospheres. The TR series drum pumps use electric or pneumatic motors, while the MB, IM, DM and KM series are horizontal, vertical and magnetic-drive centrifugal pumps for chemical duties. Equaflux pulsation dampeners and pump accessories complete the programme.
Requesting a Debem quotation
Send the fluid, temperature, viscosity, solids content, flow and head, the power supply or compressed air available and any hazardous-zone requirement. The technical sheets and manuals give the material codes and options, so the exact pump configuration can be confirmed before an offer is issued.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both share one datasheet and 2 inch ports; Boxer 522 is the polypropylene or PVDF body and Boxer 502 is aluminium or AISI 316.
Suspended solids up to 8 mm; a suitably sized strainer is still required by the manual.
5 m with PTFE diaphragms, and 9.5 m with the pump primed; the value depends on configuration.
Dried, non-lubricated compressed air at 2 to 8 bar through a 1/2 inch female BSPP fitting.
Standard marking is for Zone 2 and Zone 22; the CONDUCT version on request covers Zone 1 and Zone 21. The user classifies the zone.
