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.

Why AODD Pump.?

Today we will take a gander at why you should purchase an Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pump (AODD), what the points of interest are over other  Pump types and is it the correct Pump for you? Read on to discover.  B ut first, go through the  diaphragm pump working  to understand the advantages. AODD Pumps are utilized all through the mining business and are likewise normally found in concoction transportation/preparing and general applications.  What Makes an AODD so Special?  An  Air Operated Double  Diaphragm Pump  has a ton of focal points over other Pump plans. Beneath we drill down a portion of the benefits of AODD Pumps over against other Pump types. 1.  AODD Pump Has  the ABILITY TO RUN DRY No close fittings or sliding parts are at risk, therefore the pump can operate even when dry without massive damage. It is not recommended to dry run constantly or for long periods, due to the fact that one will consume the  diaphragm stroke life , however other than the diaph

Benefits of Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps

Understanding the Benefits and Applications of Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps An air operated double diaphragm pump (AODD) is a type of positive displacement pump that uses compressed air as the source of energy to move liquids. It consists of two flexible diaphragms that separate the pumping chamber from the air inlet and outlet. The air pressure causes the diaphragms to expand and contract, creating suction and discharge strokes that move the liquid through the pump. One of the key benefits of AODD pumps is that they are self-priming and can operate in both wet and dry conditions. They are also capable of handling liquids with high viscosities and solids, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Additionally, they are simple in design and require minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective solution for many industrial applications. AODD pumps are commonly used in a variety of industries, including chemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and water treat

Double Diaphragm Pump

What’s a double diaphragm pump? An air worked double diaphragm pump (also known as a Double-Membrane pump, pneumatic diaphragm pump or air-worked diaphragm pump) is a positive displacement pump that utilizes a mix of the responding activity of an elastic, thermoplastic or Teflon/pate diaphragm and appropriate valves on either side of the diaphragm (check valve, butterfly valves, fold valves, or some other type of stop valves) to pump a fluid. Diaphragm Pumps also known as Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pump ( AODD pump ), is a sort of responding positive displacement pump in which fluid is pumped by a responding diaphragm, which is driven by a solenoid, mechanical drive, or fluid drive. Different forms are air worked Pump has inlet & outlet check values. Diaphragm pump has great dry running qualities; they can be up to 97% effective. Diaphragm Pumps can deal with exceedingly thick fluids. A double diaphragm pump is known as a positive displacement pump. It utilizes two d
