Air Operated Diaphragm (AOD) pumps, also known as Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps, are versatile and reliable fluid handling solutions that use compressed air as their power source. These pumps are well-suited for transferring a wide variety of fluids, including corrosive chemicals, slurries, and high-viscosity liquids. The AOD pump operates by using compressed air to drive two diaphragms, which in turn displace the fluid. The alternating action of the diaphragms creates a continuous, steady flow of fluid through the pump.
AOD pumps are self-priming, capable of handling solids, and resistant to dry running, making them suitable for various industrial applications. These pumps are designed with minimal moving parts, ensuring low maintenance and long service life. Notable brands offering high-quality AOD pumps include ARO and Yamada.
