AODD pumps are air operated displacement type pumps which are very different from other pumps used in the industry’s that use them. As a result of air pressure acting on the entire surface of the diaphragm, the diaphragm is in a balanced constant pressure and flow while pumping. They can be used for mixing of two separate fluids to make the end product at any percentage for each with a simple valve adjustment on either side. This pressure balance extends diaphragm life over that of mechanically operated diaphragm pumps. Because compressed air is limited, the maximum pressure developed by the pump is also safely limited. Thus, AODD pumps are appropriately selected for a wide variety of industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, water treatment facilities, pulp and paper manufacturing, mining operations, coating operations, construction sites and operations and food processing to name just a few. Some of the more significant advantages of FTA Industrial AODD air and gas operated pumps are:

• All installations are run-dry capable.

• Electricity and heat generation are not required for optimum performance.

• Self-priming pumps

• Fluids of a wide range and viscosity can be pumped

• Capable of full submersion

• Superior reliability is defined by our all bolted pump construction that allows for instant part alignment, uniform torqueing of seals, and high pressure capabilities

• Flap check valves allow for maximum solids passage of up to 3" (75mm)

• Hinge pads exert positive pressure on the flaps allowing the pump to operate in virtually any position, helping deliver superior suction lift and flow rates

• FTA pumps operate at optimum performance using compressed air, but we also have pumps available for running off of your local reserve of natural gas – ask about our G Series line.

• Top discharge for pumping out of tough areas and fluids

• FTA Industrial pumps are 100% wet tested after final assembly to ensure proper functionality

• Pumps are FDA compliant meeting regulation 1935/2004/EC Compliant and ideally suited for a variety of food processing, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry applications.
