In corrugated cardboard production, transferring finished glue efficiently is crucial for bonding corrugated layers. However, pumping corn-starch glue poses unique challenges due to its high viscosity and adhesive characteristics. Traditional pumping systems can experience premature wear as the glue hardens within the pump, damaging mechanical seals, faces, and bushings. Specialized solutions, such as robust diaphragm pumps, are essential to effectively handle viscous adhesives, maintain operational efficiency, and ensure long-term equipment reliability.

Ovell air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps are specifically engineered for handling adhesive and viscous fluids reliably and efficiently. Featuring a self-priming, dry-run capable, and seal-less design, these diaphragm pumps ensure superior product containment while minimizing leakage risks. Their easy installation, straightforward operation, and minimal maintenance requirements make them ideal for demanding industrial applications. Additionally, Ovell recommends the use of Integral Piston Diaphragms to further enhance pump durability, significantly reduce outer-piston abrasion, extend pump lifespan, and maintain consistent, leak-free performance.
