Adhesive manufacturing—whether water-based, solvent-based, or hot melt—presents unique challenges due to the sticky, viscous nature of the materials. This inherent adhesiveness can lead to buildup or “skinning” inside pumps, causing clogging and reduced efficiency. For operators, especially when handling adhesives or products like latex paint, reliable equipment such as AODD diaphragm pumps is essential to maintain smooth, consistent flow and minimize maintenance disruptions. Proper pump selection is critical in these scenarios—especially when it comes to handling high-viscosity fluids effectively and preventing common processing issues.

Recognizing the challenges adhesive buildup poses to traditional two-piece AODD pump designs, the One-piece Diaphragm was developed with an innovative one-piece Integral Piston Diaphragm (IPD) design. This design encloses the outer piston within the diaphragm material. This advanced construction significantly reduces product buildup during operation while providing excellent chemical and abrasion resistance. With enhanced durability and extended service life, it minimizes maintenance needs and lowers overall replacement costs, making it a reliable solution for adhesive processing.
