Heavy duty-flap valve pumps are the ideal solution for abrasive slurries, non-suspended and line-size solids requirements. These solids handling pumps are workhorses in markets like meat and poultry because of their unique ability to pass large solids that would commonly clog other pumps.
Compared to AODD ball valve pumps and other rotating pump technologies, heavy-duty flap valve pumps are optimized to enhance performance and efficiency.
AODD pumps operate without the need for electricity, as they are powered by compressed air. The left and right diaphragms are connected by a single shaft, allowing them to move in sync.
When compressed air moves the air valve, one diaphragm is pushed toward the outer wall of the pump, forcing liquid out through the outlet. As this diaphragm moves, it pulls the opposite diaphragm, creating a cavity that draws liquid into the other side. This cycle repeats as long as the pump is supplied with compressed air.
