If you are looking for an innovative pump designed to overcome common fluid handling problems associated with conventional pumps, consider Graco’s EODD pump (Electrically Operated Double Diaphragm).

These common problems include:

• Damage caused by Running Dry
• Inability to ‘Dry Prime’
• Over-pressure damage caused by closed or blocked discharge

Centrifugal Pumps:

• Not suited for abrasives or solids, damage to impellers
• High shear causes product damage
• Minimal flow rate adjustments capabilities
• Need stable system conditions for optimal performance

Magnetic Drive Pumps:

• Restricted to clean liquid applications
• Magnets generate heat that transfers to fluid during processing

Rotary Lobe Pumps:

• Require timing gears and additional maintenance
• Lack of performance with low viscosity fluids

Gear Pumps:

• Sensitive design resulting in constant, expensive maintenance/replacement parts
• unsuitable for operations with large bulk flow rates

Progressive Cavity Pumps:

• Requires constant lubrication
• Rotation of shaft and mechanical seal creates friction, transferring heat to fluids
• Mechanical seals require maintenance and costly replacement

Peristaltic Pumps:

• Large footprint
• High maintenance costs
• Frequent replacement of hoses

Innovative features that will get you excited to make the upgrade to a Graco® Electric AODD Pump:

• Self-priming / Dry-Priming with excellent suction capabilities
• Seal-less diaphragm design eliminates rotational seals, saving time and money
• Integral controls
• Standard
  • Variable flow via VFD (sold separately)
  • Variable pressure (integral)
  • Eliminates the need for external Bypass Pressure-relief valves
• BLDC Drive package provides
  • Variable Flow and Pressure
  • Manual, Remote, or Automatic
  • Batch Dispense Mode: the pump dispenses a preset volume. Stalls under pressure without the need for pressure sensors and additional controllers, to prevent pump failures from clogged lines or closed valves.
• Runs Dry infinitely
• Low operating costs, energy-efficient
• Quiet operation
• Wide operating range, ideal for applications including varying flow, pressure, shear sensitivity, abrasives, and solids
• Small footprint
