Why choose a diaphragm pump for your application?

AODD pumps advantages in comparison to other pump technologies

Countless industries across the world rely on pumps to keep their processes working at a high level of performance. The reliability of industrial pumps is very important as a failure may cause unplanned production downtime, costly repairs and even a complete lost in products being produced. Therefore, selecting the right pump for your application can help you minimize and prevent such situations.

Within industrial positive displacement pumps, there are many options to choose from, such as gear, peristaltic hose, piston/plunger, progressive cavity, or air operated double diaphragm pumps.

So, how to choose which one suits you the best? Luckily, one pump combines both reliability and versatility, in addition to other advantages: AODD pumps.

Wide application range

Versatility is the main advantage of air operated double diaphragm pumps, as they are capable of pumping a wide variety of fluids. These range from shear sensitive fluids to slurries or even abrasive/corrosive fluids and, by choosing the right design and the right materials, they are able to meet the installation requirements without causing damage to the pump or the final product. Another important aspect is that the fluid does not necessarily have to be clean, it may contain suspended solids, making them suitable for even the most severe applications and working conditions.

Given their versatility, they can be found in many industries. They can be used for transferring acids in the chemical industry or for slip transfer in the ceramic industry. This demonstrates the pumps wide range of use and how they can adapt to any application. The most common uses are tank loading/unloading, fluid batching/mixing, recirculation and transfer, water extraction and treatment, coating and mold filling. Such uses can be found within the following industries:

Petrochemical

Mining and construction

Paint and coatings

Pulp and paper

Textile

Mechanical and plant engineering

Ceramics

Marine

Power stations (energy)

Tank farms/ bulk transfer

Waste water and water treatment

Electronics
