Almatec's Specialty AODD

Almatec’s line of specialty pumps is engineered to meet the specific and strict requirements of special applications, including the high pressure, food and beverage, biopharma, and semiconductor industries. Although with different offerings, the BIOCOR, FUTUR, AHD/AHS, and MM Series are made from carefully selected materials to deliver their special functions while achieving optimal performance and lifespan. Almatec’s specialty pumps are economical to own, and they all incorporate an optimised diaphragm, compact construction, and simple design.

Almatec pumps follow the conventional working principle of an AODD pump. They move fluid by the alternate and repeated back-and-forth movement (strokes) of two flexible membranes or diaphragms mounted on a common shaft. Although diaphragm pumps can be driven directly, with the shaft connected directly to a motor, AODD pumps use compressed air with a sophisticated distribution system directing the air alternately to two air chambers on the opposite sides of the diaphragms.

AODD pumps are capable of handling abrasive, highly viscous fluids, sludges, slurries, and shear-sensitive fluids. AODD pumps are robust, reliable, easy to maintain, and relatively low cost. They tend to be general workhorse devices and are typically used for transfer applications in a wide variety of industries.
