An Air Diaphragm Pump (or AODD pump) operates using compressed air rather than an electrical motor.
In applications like mining or other industrial activities, the fluids that need to be handled may be flammable, meaning that pumps run by an electric motor are not safe or recommended.
Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps are also useful when electricity sources are scarce or unavailable in an area. They also perform well when pumping high-viscosity liquids, transferring chemicals, or dewatering coal mines.
