Partner Spotlight: Samoa and the Versatility of AODD Pumps
Total Finishing is proud to partner with SAMOA, an industrial leader in advanced fluid handling solutions since 1958. With their unmatched expertise and commitment to quality, SAMOA brings a game-changing option to the world of pumps: Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps.
What are pneumatic diaphragm pumps?
Air operated diaphragm pumps are designed to handle a variety of fluids, including those that are abrasive, corrosive, viscous, or shear-sensitive. The primary components of an AODD pump include:
- Diaphragms: Flexible membranes that create chambers and move alternately to draw in and push out fluid, enabling continuous flow through the equipment.
- Air Valves: Control the flow of compressed air into the pump, driving the movement of the diaphragms.
- Inlet and Outlet Manifolds: Channels that direct the flow of fluid into and out of the pump.
- Housing and Construction Materials: The pump body, which can be made from various materials depending on the application, such as aluminum, stainless steel, or plastic.
Why Choose AODD Pumps?
In countless industries, the reliability of industrial pumps is critical. A failure can mean unplanned downtime, costly repairs, or even total product loss. That’s why selecting the right pump for the job is essential—and AODD pumps stand out. Their versatility is unmatched, capable of handling everything from shear-sensitive fluids to abrasive or corrosive materials. Even fluids containing suspended solids pose no challenge.
This adaptability makes AODD pumps a cornerstone in industries like:
- Paint and coatings
- Petrochemical
- Mining and construction
- Wastewater treatment
Common applications include tank loading/unloading, fluid batching, and coating processes—aligning perfectly with Total Finishing’s mission to provide innovative finishing solutions.
AODD pumps offer several advantages that make them suitable for a wide range of applications:
- Versatility: Capable of handling a variety of fluids, including abrasive, corrosive, viscous, and shear-sensitive materials.
- Self-Priming: Can prime themselves, making them easy to start and operate.
- Dry Running Capability: Can run dry without damage, allowing for greater flexibility in operation.
- Explosion-Proof: Safe for use in hazardous environments due to the absence of electrical components.
- Low Shear: Gentle pumping action preserves the integrity of shear-sensitive fluids.
