1/2 INCH AODD ALUMINIUM PUMP

A 1/2 inch AODD Aluminium Pump is an Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pump with a 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) inlet and outlet connection. It is powered by compressed air instead of electricity, making it ideal for safely transferring liquids in industrial environments.

What is a 1/2 Inch AODD Aluminium Pump?

A 1/2 inch AODD aluminium pump consists of:

Aluminium body – Lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant for many industrial fluids.

Double diaphragms – Two flexible diaphragms move back and forth using compressed air.

Air valve system – Alternates compressed air between the diaphragms to create suction and discharge.

Check valves – Prevent backflow and ensure smooth liquid transfer.

These pumps are self-priming, can run dry without damage, and are suitable for pumping liquids containing suspended solids.
