Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm Pumps

Seal-less, self-priming, run-dry safe — driven by compressed air alone.

Powered entirely by compressed air, AODD pumps run dry, pass solids in suspension and stall safely against a closed valve — suiting chemical processing, paints and coatings, food and beverage, water treatment, mining and general industry.

Four port sizes from 1/2″ to 2″, each in metallic and non-metallic construction with PTFE (Teflon) diaphragms as standard.

1.5″ (38.1 mm) →Up to 270 L/minUp to 4.8 mm25–40 kg
2″ (50.8 mm) →Up to 586 L/minUp to 6.4 mm35–40 kg
Typical maximums — exact performance depends on air supply and duty.

Metallic or non-metallic?

Every size comes in all three constructions. Pick by the fluid you’re moving.

Coated metallic

Robust body with a protective coating. General industrial and workshop transfer, fuels and oils.

Uncoated metallic

Bare metal finish where a clean, corrosion-resistant surface is preferred. Hygienic and process duties.

Non-metallic

Best chemical resistance and lightest weight. Acids, alkalis and aggressive media that attack metal.
