The mining environment presents one of the toughest fluid handling challenges, requiring pumps that can withstand abrasive slurry, corrosive mine water, and explosive atmospheres. air operated double diaphragm pump (AODD) excels here because it is intrinsically safe, durable, and handles highly viscous fluids containing large solids, making it the superior choice among industrial diaphragm pumps.
Our pneumatic diaphragm pump models are engineered for reliability when it matters most, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
πͺ Handles Abrasives & Solids: The simple, seal-less design allows the diaphragm pump to pass large solids and thick, abrasive slurries such as tailings and sludge, without clogging or damaging internal components.
π‘οΈ Intrinsically Safe: Since the pump is powered by compressed air rather than electricity, it is intrinsically safe and eliminates the risk of sparking, a critical requirement for underground operations and areas handling flammable fuels.
π§ Run-Dry and Submersible: The AODD pump can run dry indefinitely without damage, ideal for unpredictable dewatering tasks in sumps. Many models are also fully submersible, offering maximum flexibility in dewatering applications.
