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 Maintenance – Diaphragm pumps are simple, non-technical & require no specialist training for maintenance. There are no special clearances or tools required for pump repairs.

4. Anti-Stalling/ Anti-Freezing Air Motor – The air valve is designed to be anti-stalling & anti-freezing; this assists allowing the AODD pump to be continuously operated.

5. Intrinsically Safe – No electrical power or auxiliary requirements meaning that diaphragm pump is Intrinsically Safe and can be operated in many hazardous situations/ applications like underground coal mines.

6. Submersible Options – Most AODD models can be fully submerged. When using as submersible pump, both the liquid path and external components must be compatible with the material in which the pump will be submersed. Submersed pumps must have a hose attached to air exhaust and the exhaust piped above liquid level.

Industrial uses:

Paints & Coating:

AODD pump are also used in the paint industry considering their ability to move viscous fluids like ink, acrylic, primers and coatings.

Moreover air pumps are capable of transferring solvents for washing systems and waste fluids. The main applications that we can find in this field are printing machines, inks maker, spray systems and cleaning baths.

Pharmaceutical:

In the Pharma field air operated double diaphragm pump is one of the main systems for pumping fluids considering that a large part of them contain particles and have high viscosity.

For this reason, AODD pump can handle chemicals, proteins, enzymes, vitamins, vegetable extracts, flavours, ointments, alcohols, blood plasma, additives, disinfectants, waste solvents, waste fluids and more. The main applications are filtering aids, ultrafiltration, aseptic transfer, tablet coating, distillation plant, reactors for the production and waste water treatment.

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...
