Finishing Pumps

Air-Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps are a type of pump that uses compressed air to operate two alternating diaphragms to push fluid through the system. These pumps are commonly used in a variety of industrial applications including finishing and applying paints, coatings and other materials.

In the field of finishing, AODD pumps can be used specifically for different applications:

1. Applying Paints and Coatings: AODD pumps can be used to dispense paints, enamels, coatings and similar materials to surfaces. Their dual diaphragm action helps ensure a consistent, even flow of finishing material.
2. Application of Viscous Materials: AODD pumps are capable of handling materials with different viscosities, making them suitable for finishing surfaces requiring thicker coatings or high viscosity materials.
3. Application on Irregular Surfaces: AODD pumps can handle solid particles and can work well with materials that contain small impurities. This makes them suitable for finishing irregular or rough surfaces.
4. Flow Control: AODD pumps allow for precise control of flow and pressure, which is particularly useful for achieving uniform and precise finishes on different surfaces.
5. Detail and Edge Finishing: With flow control and the ability to handle different viscosities, AODD pumps are suitable for detail and edge finishing of complex objects or structures.
6. Applications with Sensitive Materials: AODD pumps can be used to apply heat sensitive or chemically reactive materials due to their compressed air action which reduces the risk of overheating.
7. Reduce Waste: AODD pumps offer precise control and consistent flow, reducing material waste and ensuring a consistent finish.

It is important to note that AODD pumps may require proper preparation and maintenance to ensure they operate properly and reliably during finishing operations. Choosing to use an AODD pump will depend on the specific needs of your finishing application and material compatibility with the pump itself.
