Minimise Process Downtime With Our Clean in Place Diaphragm Pumps
Looking for a "Fit and Forget" pump solution for your hygienic process? We offer 3A approved AODD pumps made from mechanically polished stainless steel, benefiting from a 360° rotating quick emptying system to aid Clean in Place as a hygienic pump. Another benefit of these hygienic diaphragm pumps is that they come as standard with sensors to detect diaphragm rupture, which in the event of occurring automatically stops pump operation to prevent contamination. Our range of clean in place AODD pumps have no seals to wear or leak, can dry run without damage, have patented stall protection to limit downtime and worker intervention when pressure imbalances occur, and are built with 50% fewer wearing parts compared to alternatives for low cost maintenance. So, if you feel it's time to leave your engineers to do more value-adding tasks than running a pump, AODD pumps are the perfect solution for you! With models able to handle low and high viscosity fluids, including those with solid content, Castle Pumps will have a clean in place diaphragm pump compatible with your application requirements whether it is for pumping edible oils, fruit juice concentrate or soup.

FAQs
The pump is made up of two chambers. As the air forces the diaphragm to move in to the one chamber it forces the fluid inside into the outlet, whilst the other chamber fills up with fluid drawn from the inlet. As the diaphragm moves back into the opposite chamber, the fluid now in that chamber is forced out and the other chamber begins to fill up.
Clean in Place (CIP) is the ability for a pump to be easily taken apart, cleaned and sterilised without having to remove it entirely from the installation. This is of high importance for food processing pumps and those used in pharmaceutical industries where the product is to be used for human consumption.
Yes - The Debem Food Boxer is constructed of food grade 316 Stainless Steel and PTFE, and the Saniboxer is 3A approved with 360 degree quick emptying system for CIP. The standard Boxer models however are reserved for non-food applications.
Ensuring compatibility with the fluid being pumped is a vital part of AODD pump specification to avoid swelling, erosion and even melting of the casing, diaphragm and balls. Our AODDs are available in PP, Aluminium or Stainless Steel and diaphragms in PTFE, EPDM, NBR, Hytrel and Santoprene. Upon disclosure of the fluid you are handling we will establish the best solution.
Thanks to the absence of a mechanical seal that needs cooling and lubricating, AODDs are able to run dry or against a closed discharge indefinitely without causing damage to the pump.
Yes! Whereas with an electric motor you would fit a variable speed drive, with an AODD you can simply adjust the air inlet pressure to control the flow you receive the other end.
Yes, air operated diaphragm pumps have excellent suction capabilities without need for a manual priming device.
Yes. Thanks to the absence of any close fitting or rotating parts, AODD pumps can handle solid content in fluids.
