Overview
About the AOD 400 PF Metallic
The SANDO AOD 400 SS / Aluminum Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pump is engineered for high-performance liquid transfer in chemical, paint, pharmaceutical, wastewater, ceramic, oil, and general industrial applications. Built with a strong Stainless Steel / Aluminum body, the AOD 400 offers durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable operation for handling aggressive, viscous, and abrasive fluids.
This AODD pump operates using compressed air, making it suitable for hazardous and flameproof areas where electric motor-driven pumps may not be ideal. The pump is self-priming, can run dry without damage, and provides smooth, leak-free pumping without mechanical seals or gland packing.
The AOD 400 model is available with Teflon and Neoprene diaphragms, allowing users to select the right elastomer based on fluid compatibility. The Teflon NRV balls provide excellent chemical resistance and dependable non-return valve performance during suction and discharge cycles.
SANDO AOD 400 is widely used as a chemical transfer pump, solvent transfer pump, paint transfer pump, slurry pump, oil transfer pump, wastewater pump, and industrial fluid handling pump. Its robust design, easy maintenance, and low operating cost make it a dependable choice for industries looking for long service life and consistent performance.

Selection Guide
AODD vs. Centrifugal Pumps
-
1
Choose AODD pumps for chemical transfer, variable viscosity, dry-run tolerance, suction lift, and shear-sensitive fluids.
-
2
Choose centrifugal pumps for clean, low-viscosity liquids where continuous high flow and steady head are required.
-
3
AODD pumps are self-priming and seal-less; centrifugal pumps usually need priming and mechanical seal management.
For selection, share flow rate, discharge pressure or head, viscosity, temperature, solids content and installation conditions — our engineers will recommend the right aodd metallic configuration.
