This air-powered design makes AODD pumps the preferred choice for applications where electricity is unavailable or potentially dangerous. 

2. Powerful Fluid Handling 

How can a pump be both gentle and powerful? AODD pumps achieve this balance perfectly: 

Capability	Benefit to Your Operation
Low-shear action	Preserves product integrity for sensitive materials
Adjustable flow rates	Handles both high-volume transfers and precision dosing
Solids handling	Passes particles that would damage other pump types
Variable viscosity	Works with thin liquids and thick slurries equally well

These capabilities make AODD pumps incredibly versatile across industries from food processing to heavy mining. 

7 Key AODD Pump Features That Make Your Projects Easier 

1. Run-Dry Capability: Remove Pump Damage Worries 

Have you ever experienced a complete pump failure after running dry? With AODD pumps, this concern is solved completely. 

AODD pumps can run without liquid indefinitely without damage. This happens because: 

• No metal-on-metal contact occurs during operation
