Frequently Asked Questions
Can Versamatic AODD pumps handle solids?
Yes, these pumps can easily handle solids, slurries and suspended solids in various mixtures & viscosities.
Can these pumps run dry?
These double diaphragm pumps can run dry as they do not rely on mechanical seals. Instead, they employ diaphragms to pump the liquid back and forth.
Are Versamatic double diaphragm pumps safe for mining?
Since these pumps are air-operated and do not require electricity for operation, they are safe for potentially explosive environments like mines.
Can these pumps run against a dead head or closed valve?
Yes, as soon as the discharge pressure exceeds the air input pressure, the pump stops cycling. The pump restarts once the discharge side pressure is released.
