One of the most powerful workhorses of the industry is also one of the simplest types of technologies inside factories and plants: AODD pumps.

In order to select the appropriate air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump, it’s important to understand the required flow rate in order to achieve maximum AODD pump efficiency. 

Aftermarket air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump parts are everywhere, and whether it’s because of their low costs or just because they are available, many purchase them without being aware of the potential consequences.

At Versamatic, we know the most productive AODD pump end users are the ones who have strong distributors focused on setting them up for success. In fact, a successful relationship between an AODD pump user, distributor, and manufacturer is like a three-legged stool — each one supports and brings value to the other two. That’s why Versamatic has invested in the best educational resources for our distributors.

Sometimes pumping is complicated. One way to make it easier is to choose an air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump. With the support of experts like your manufacturer and distributor, an understanding of AODD pumping basics, and answers to some frequently asked questions, you’ll be prepared to optimize an AODD pump in various mining applications.

If there’s one thing a plant maintenance manager can’t tolerate, it’s downtime.

Production stoppages mean lost revenue. To avoid downtime, plant personnel must keep the plant’s systems and machinery running smoothly and handle all planned maintenance, upgrades and emergency repairs as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, one of the common pieces of equipment in plants—Air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps—is designed to make maintenance simple and cost-effective. Still, an experienced plant maintenance manager will look for ways to optimize AODD pump performance to keep downtime to a minimum and improve pump efficiency.

Before steps to increase reliability can be taken, it’s best to know the basic components of an AODD pump:

When you have a pumping problem, you need to solve it — fast. Whether you’re looking for help troubleshooting your air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump, you need to buy replacement parts, or you have to purchase a new pump altogether, the best place to start is with one of your pump manufacturer’s independent factory-authorized distributors. 

One of the most surprising things about AODD pumps is their simplicity. It's amazing how such simple machines are powerful pieces of equipment that keep plants around the world running.

Lithium battery cell manufacturing is a fast-growing, global market where operators often need to scale up quickly. Simply scan the news and you’ll see manufacturers across many industries vowing to build battery plants to meet the demand for lithium-ion batteries, which are used in electric vehicles, hand tools, medical devices, cell phones, laptops, and many other products.
