Almatec
The name Almatec is synonymous with premier air operated double diaphragm pump or AODD. It falls under the wing of PSG, a Dover company. Although it’s relatively young compared to its competitors, the company has managed to a competitive brand and now has a strong presence in various industries across the globe.
The company’s pump range boasts solid design, superior quality, best-in-class plastic and metal materials, high-precision air control system, and unmatched German manufacturing technology.
Almatec's Chemicor
Almatec’s Chemicor features metal air-operated double diaphragm pumps designed for a range of fluids, viscosities, and applications. In creating the Chemicor, Almatec mainly focused on the form of the product chambers, resulting in soft contours, smooth flow channels, and no dead spaces.
These aodd pumps incorporate various metallic materials to suit specific application requirements and ensure that all units are corrosion resistant. Models with a centre block made of PE conductive meet the ATEX requirements of the directive 94/9/EG.

Principle of Operation
Almatec Pumps use the conventional AODD pump technology and working principle. They move fluid by the alternate and repeated back-and-forth movement (strokes) of two flexible membranes or diaphragms mounted on a common shaft. Although diaphragm pumps can be driven directly, with the shaft connected directly to a motor, AODD pumps use compressed air with a sophisticated distribution system directing the air alternately to two air chambers on the opposite sides of the diaphragms.
AODD pumps are capable of handling abrasive, highly viscous fluids, sludges, slurries, and shear-sensitive fluids. AODD pumps are robust, reliable, easy to maintain, and relatively low cost. They tend to be general workhorse devices and are typically used for transfer applications in a wide variety of industries.
Almatec's Plastic AODD
The range of plastic air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps by Almatec exceeds industry quality requirements by incorporating standard features and complementing them with a solid block design, energy-efficient air control system, cutting-edge diaphragms, and best-in-class materials.
A solid body construction adds to the pumps’ stability and operation’s safety level. Also being mechanically machined using CNC technology, the perfect tolerances between the walls and the parts are achieved. Almatec plastic AODDs are manufactured using PE or PTFE, making them economical to own.

Principle of Operation
Almatec pumps follow the conventional working principle of an AODD pump. They move fluid by the alternate and repeated back-and-forth movement (strokes) of two flexible membranes or diaphragms mounted on a common shaft. Although diaphragm pumps can be driven directly, with the shaft connected directly to a motor, AODD pumps use compressed air with a sophisticated distribution system directing the air alternately to two air chambers on the opposite sides of the diaphragms.
AODD pumps are capable of handling abrasive, highly viscous fluids, sludges, slurries, and shear-sensitive fluids. AODD pumps are robust, reliable, easy to maintain, and relatively low cost. They tend to be general workhorse devices and are typically used for transfer applications in a wide variety of industries.
