1/2 Inch Aluminum AODD Pump - Air Operated Diaphragm Transfer Pump

1/2 Inch Aluminum AODD Pump - Air Operated Diaphragm Transfer Pump

The NOVAPUMP 1/2 Inch Aluminum AODD Pump is the most compact and cost-effective model in our diaphragm pump range, ideal for low-flow chemical dosing, sampling, and small-volume fluid transfer applications. Despite its compact size, it delivers up to 30 L/min and 84 meters of head - exceptional performance for a pump weighing just 3.2 kg. The aluminum body with standard Santoprene diaphragms provides an economical entry point for AODD pump technology.

FAQs

Q: What is the minimum flow rate?
By reducing air pressure, flow can be dialed down to approximately 2 L/min while maintaining consistent pressure.

Q: Can it run continuously?
Yes, up to 8 hours continuous at rated pressure. For 24/7 operation, consider the 1-inch model with larger air motor.

Q: Is it suitable for food products?
Aluminum body is not food-grade. For food applications, select our 1.5-inch sanitary stainless steel model.
