Self Priming Diaphragm Pumps are positive displacement pumps commonly used in wet commercial pumping applications. Air diaphragm pumps run on compressed air and there are ideal for chemical transfer.
Below are the reasons of AODD Pumps are perfect for chemical transfer.
1. SAFE, LEAK-FREE BOLTED CONSTRUCTION
AODD pumps are available in leak-free bolted designs to ensure the chemical being pumped is contained safely.
AODD pumps don't generate heat, which further reduces the potential of a safety hazard occurring.
AODD pumps require no electricity and can be grounded for safe, reliable operation in explosive environments. This is critical for safety when pumping flammable liquids or when a pump is in an environment in which fumes are present.
AODD pumps will not be damaged by running dry, which is very common in chemical sumps, tanker unloading or tank over applications. Other types of pumps can be damaged from running dry, or they could overheat, causing an unsafe running condition.
AODD pumps can be manufactured from a broad range of chemically resistant materials, so they can handle just about any chemical.
AODD pumps are self-priming and don't require positive inlet pressure (NPSHA) to prime.
AODD pumps don't use or require expensive mechanical seals to operate. They simply use reciprocating elastomeric diaphragms and valve checks to pull product into the pump and then push it out, causing a pumping motion. This design is cost-effective.
AODD pumps can be easily moved and require only a source of compressed air to operate.
