Applications And Benefits Of PTFE Products

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)  is a form of thermoplastic resin that is resistant to practically most of the corrosive services. It is one of the best materials for diaphragm pump because of its chemical stability and resistance. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a durable and flexible elastomer of average tensile strength but remarkable chemical resistance, as well as excellent thermally and electrically resistive properties. At a molecular level, PTFE consists of a chain of carbon atoms with two fluorine atoms bonded to each carbon. These fluorine atoms surround the carbon chain, creating a dense molecule with very strong carbon-fluorine bonds and a polymer structure that is inert to most chemicals. PTFE diaphragms have been one of the most thriving components that have lead to a breakthrough in the pump industry. They have been widely produced and are extremely successful in various industries across the globe. Following the pump industry: A peristaltic pu...

Factors To Be Considered While Selecting Diaphragm Pump

Selection of the right diaphragm for an  air operated double diaphragm pump  is a critical consideration for safety, efficiency operations. A number of factors must be taken into account when choosing the proper diaphragm that will be suitable/capable for a specific application. Previous experience is always a very helpful guide, but new applications will often require research & outside advice to determine the appropriate diaphragm pump that will meet specific application requirements and parameters. Fluid – One of the most important factors that needs to be taken into consideration is the Type, Composition & Nature of the fluid in order to avoid corrosion of wetted parts & also to prevent the wear of the pump. It is also necessary to determine - What’s the chemical composition of the fluid? What’s the consistency? Is it a slurry (thick suspension of solids in liquids), or is it a clean fluid? A peristaltic pump or hose pump is a type of ...

Best Industrial Uses Of AODD Pump

An AODD pump and peristaltic pump or hose pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses compressed air as a power source. The compressed air is shifted from one chamber to the other by a linked shaft that allows the chambers to move simultaneously. This back-and-forth motion forces liquid out of one chamber and into the discharge piping while the other chamber is being filled with liquid at the same time. These pumps use reciprocating elastomeric diaphragms and check valves to pump fluid. The liquid chambers are filled and emptied by fluid that is drawn through a common inlet and discharged through a single outlet. Benefits of AODD Pump: 1. Variable Flow-rate & Discharge Pressure  – Varying of air supply to the pump will vary the flow rate and/ or pressure that the diaphragm pump produces. 2. Seal-less/ Leak Free Design  – No mechanical seal means that the Air pumps are totally contained & leak-free. 3. Ease of Maint...

About AODD Pump – 3 Industrial Uses and Applications

AODD pumps (also known as Air operated diaphragms pumps, pneumatic diaphragm pumps, AODD pumps, AOD pumps) are used for endless applications in mining, industrial and general plant service. Powered only by compressed air, they are especially used where electricity isn’t available, or in explosive or flammable areas. AOD pumps are a type of reciprocating diaphragm pump which contains two diaphragms driven by compressed air. Air section with shuttle valve applies air alternately to the two diaphragms, each diaphragm has a set of check/ball valves. Chemical & Refineries: AODD Pump can handle all types of chemicals including acids, bases, solvents and alkalis, resins and adhesives, high-density liquids and viscous products even with the presence of solid parts and particles. Moreover, they can also transfer oil skimming, oil sludge, storm water, seawater, drainage water, latex, corrosion inhibitors, fertiliser, pesticides, insecticides and more. The A...
