What Causes AODD Pump Failures?

Air operated double diaphragm pumps (AODD) operate with compressed air instead of an electric motor. This makes them much safer for many types of applications, particularly those that require pumping flammable liquids. AODD Proper Pump Installation is Important AODD pumps must be installed properly with correct mounting on a rigid …

Powder Conveying Considerations

There are many factors to consider when pumping powders with air operated diaphragm (AODD) pumps. While it takes a pump and process equipment specialist and experience in pumping processes to facilitate a smooth pump powder transfer, some view this application as an art rather than a science. Industrial Processes Utilize …

Why Use a Powder Transfer Pump?

Many industrial processes require the transfer of powder materials such as in plastics processing, chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or food and beverage processes for example. There are various methods companies use to transfer powder materials, such as physical labor manually transferring these materials in buckets or containers, using powder augers, …

How Do Powder Pumps Work?

Today’s process industries utilize powders for a variety of purposes. While many processes use similar activities to turn raw materials into finished products, the complexity of handling and transferring powders has earned this material category a particular reputation among process engineers and others involved in the design and operation of …
