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 AODD Pump finds application in pumping of raw materials and derivatives, storm water drainage, unload trucks, sump and tanks drainage, empty the cistern and to be used in waste water treatment, desalination plants, scrubber’s application, distillation plant and filters press.

One of the less obvious reasons that AODD pumps are selected is the range of chemicals that can be transferred, injected, batched or filled during a process or application. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of configurations for AODD pumps to handle almost any chemical. A typical AODD original equipment manufacturer (OEM) might have as many as 1,700 viable configurations based on size, wetted material, elastomeric options, center body and hardware materials.

Waste Water Treatment:

In the water treatment industry, diaphragm pumps are used in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants. Some fluids that are put into the pumps from wastewater treatment plants are high in viscosity and require pumps that can handle those liquids. Air operated double diaphragm pumps also help to pump polymers, acids, caustics and slurries during the water treatment process that are used to treat water.

Food & Beverages:

Air operated double diaphragm pump are used in the food and beverage industry for various food processing application. This pumps can be used for transferring food products like tomato pulp, chocolate, soft drinks, ham pulp, vinegar, pet food, yeast, eggs, vegetable oil, honey, vitamins, glucose syrup, concentrates, decaffeination, wine, fruit pulp, fruit juice, rennet, aromas and more.

Moreover, diaphragm pumps can be used also for pumping chemicals like caustic soda, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, antioxidants and brine and waste products like animal blood, waste water and sludge. They find application in the food processing, CIP (cleaning in place) plants, and waste water treatment and slaughtering.

Antlia Engineering Works is one of the leading manufactures peristaltic pump and AODD pumps in Australia, middle east, Africa & India. One can choose pumps that best suits their needs.

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...
