Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm – AODD pumps

AODD pumps is a variety of positive displacement pump which contains of two pumping compartments that are alternately filled and discharged by the movement of flexible diaphragms. Compressed air is interchangeably sent to, and vented from, air compartments on the differing sides of the diaphragms to generate the propelling action.
AODD pumps are usually used for transmitting applications and can manage a wide variety of inputs that includes sludge’s, slurries, rough and shear delicate solutions. Even though they are robust, dependable and easy to maintain they can be loud, prone to frosting, and are restricted to low pressure applications.

How AODD Pumps Work?

LEFT STROKE


The air valve leads pressurized air to the posterior side of diaphragm A. The compressed air is applied straight to the fluid column divided by elastomeric diaphragms. The diaphragm acts as a parting membrane between the compressed air and fluid, balancing the weight and eliminating mechanical stress from the diaphragm. 
The compressed air moves the diaphragm away from the middle block of the pump. The opposite diaphragm is dragged in by the shaft attached to the pressurized diaphragm. Diaphragm B is on its suction thump; air behind the diaphragm has been forced out to the ether through the exhaust port of the pump.
The movement of diaphragm B toward the middle block of the pump creates a vacuum within compartment B. Atmospheric pressure forces liquid into the inlet multiple times forcing the inlet valve ball off its position. Fluid is free to transfer past the inlet valve ball and fill the fluid Compartment.

MID STROKE



When the pressurised diaphragm pump, diaphragm A, reaches the limit of its release stroke, the air valve transmits pressurised air to the posterior side of diaphragm B. The pressurised air forces diaphragm B away from the middle block while pulling diaphragm A to the middle block.
Diaphragm B is now on its ejection stroke. Diaphragm B forces the inlet valve ball onto its position due to the hydraulic forces developed in the fluid chamber and manifold of the AODD pump. These same hydraulic forces lift the release valve ball off its position, while the opposite discharge valve ball is forced onto its seat, forcing liquid to flow through the pump ejection. 
The movement of diaphragm A near the middle block of the pump generates a vacuum within fluid chamber A. Atmospheric pressure forces liquid into the inlet manifold of the AODD pump. The inlet valve ball is then forced off its position letting the liquid being pumped to fill the fluid compartment.

RIGHT STROKE



At close of the stroke, the air valve again transmits air to the back side of diaphragm A, which starts diaphragm B on its exhaust stroke. As the AODD pump reaches its original initial point, each diaphragm has gone through one exhaust and one ejection stroke.
This establishes one complete pumping cycle and the pump may take numerous cycles to totally prime depending on the conditions of the application.
Antlia Engineering Works is one of the leading manufacturers of AODD pumps in India, Middle-East, Australia, Africa  and produce pumps that robust, reliable, easy to maintain, and comparatively low cost. They tend to be all-purpose mainstay devices and are usually used for transmitting applications in a wide range of industries.

PERISTALTIC PUMPS

Peristaltic pumps have numerous utilizations in industry, however their most basic use is for high accuracy & purity applications. The reason these pumps are favored for high virtue applications is that the material being pumped is kept to the cylinder. The pump never contacts the material and the material never contacts the pump. This shields the pump from tainting the material and it additionally shields the material from sullying the pump. Peristaltic pumps are utilized frequently for applications including metering, apportioning and exact general transfer. Since these pumps offer the uncommon blend of Purity and accuracy, they are the preferred pumps in numerous applications that incorporate the dosing or exchange of chemicals and added substances for semiconductor, pharmaceutical and nourishment/food applications. Since the materials are bound to the tubing, peristaltic pumps just require negligible upkeep How do Peristaltic Pumps work? Peristaltic pumps got it...

4 reasons to use AODD pump

Air Operated Double Diaphragm pump are also used in the cosmetic and cleaning industry to pumping a lot of fluids starting from the raw materials and the end-products up to chemicals and additives. Typical fluids used in the cosmetic and cleaning field are: lotions, surfactants, fabric softener, creams, shampoos, emulsions, hair permanents, soaps, foaming agent, disinfectants, detergents, gels and others more. Air Operated Double Diaphragm pump , also called Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps, use compressed air to move the diaphragms. They are seen by many as the safest design for pumping more aggressive chemicals. AODD pumps are limited to 6m suction lift, but they can operate with as much as a 160 metre discharge head. At Pump Solutions Australasia, we have choose Ran Pumps to make our AODD pumps. They are the finest in the world and are made in Turkey. An air operated double diaphragm pump (AODD) is a type of reciprocating positive displacement pump...

Characteristics of Industrial Peristaltic Pumps

A peristaltic hose pumps is a kind of positive displacement pump used in various industrial uses for pumping number of fluids. The fluid is contained within a flexible tube (i.e Hose) fitted inside the pump casing having no contact with another portion of the industrial hose pump . A rotor having rollers attached to the outside circumference compresses the flexible tube in the peristaltic pump. Since the rotor revolves, compression motion forces the fluid to move through the tube. The Way Peristaltic Pumps Work Rotary Motion is moved into linear motion via rotating straps or “shoes" from an elastomeric hose, then pinching it adequately to move the contents of this the hose at the direction of turning. The flow Speed is somewhat proportional to the rotational speed with an important factor is the quantity of hose compression. While laboratory size peristaltic pumps use non-reinforced tubing and completely “pinch" the tube to provide accurate dosing, industrial si...
