Products Description

AODD pumps(also known as Air operated diaphragm 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.

The air valve directs pressurised air to the backside of Diaphragm A, pushing it away from the center of the pump. Acting as a separation membrane between the compressed air and liquid, the elastomeric diaphragm applies pressure to the liquid column, while also balancing the load in order to remove mechanical stress from the diaphragm. As the compressed air moves Diaphragm A away from the center of the pump into its discharge stroke, the pressure created within Chamber A pushes out the liquid through its discharge valve.
