Diaphragm Pumps
Get a gear that genuinely makes work easier
- Air operated diaphragms pumps (also known as pneumatic diaphragm pumps, AODD pumps or AOD pumps) are used for endless applications in mining, industrial and general plant service.
- Air operated diaphragm pumps are especially used where electricity isn’t available, or in explosive or flammable areas.
- They are also used for chemical transfer, de-watering underground coal mines, food manufacturing or where the liquid being pumped has a high solids content or high viscosity.
- We supply brands such as Versa-matic, Sandpiper and Blagdon. These pumps are specifically designed and built for the purpose, including all components which come into contact with the product being pumped.
Diaphragm Pumps Australia - AODD & Chemical Transfer Pumps in WA
When reliability matters in harsh Australian conditions, diaphragm pumps are the go-to solution for handling chemicals, wastewater, slurry, and abrasive fluids. At Mandurah Pumpshop, we supply high-performance diaphragm pumps across Western Australia, designed for industrial, agricultural, and commercial applications.
Whether you need an air operated diaphragm pump (AODD) for chemical transfer or a durable pump for wastewater management, our range is built to handle demanding environments with consistent performance and minimal maintenance.
What Is a Diaphragm Pump and Why It Matters
A diaphragm pump is a positive displacement pump that uses a flexible diaphragm to move fluids. Unlike centrifugal pumps, diaphragm pumps can handle viscous liquids, solids, and corrosive chemicals without damage.
This makes them ideal for:
- Chemical processing and transfer
- Wastewater and slurry pumping
- Mining and industrial operations
- Agricultural spraying and fertiliser handling
If your operation involves aggressive or thick fluids, standard pumps will fail. Diaphragm pumps are built specifically to solve that problem.
Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps (AODD) for Australian Industries
Air operated diaphragm pumps are one of the most reliable solutions for industrial fluid transfer. Powered by compressed air, AODD pumps eliminate the need for electricity, making them safer in hazardous environments.
Key advantages:
- Dry run capability without damage
- Self-priming and efficient
- Handles abrasive and corrosive materials
- Explosion-safe for industrial use
Industries across Western Australia rely on AODD pumps for mining sites, workshops, and chemical plants where safety and durability are non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions
A diaphragm pump is a sturdy positive-displacement pump that alternately flexes a rubber or plastic membrane while spring-loaded valves open and close, moving liquid forward. It routinely handles tough jobs with gritty, thick, or caustic media that would wear out other pumps quickly.
You’ll find diaphragm pumps in chemical plants, sewage works, breweries, mines, farms, and nearly any factory that needs rugged, consistent service and resistance to harsh fluids.
Because they seal the working parts inside a diaphragm, these pumps resist leaks, shrug off dry running, chew through starts and stops, and keep aggressive chemicals contained.
Most models pass small chunks gracefully, so they fit slurry and sludge duties, although operators still need to check size limits in the manuals to avoid surprises.
Absolutely-they suck liquid uphill from below-grade tanks or drums, which saves hassle and extra hardware in many set-ups.
Not always. Many models, called air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps, run on compressed air rather than electric power, so you can use them safely in flammable or damp areas.
Keep an eye on the diaphragm rubber membranes, valves, and seals. Swapping out worn pieces and fixing leaks quickly keeps the pump efficient and stops costly surprises.
How long they last hinges on the liquid being pumped, pressure, heat, and how often you run the unit. Diaphragms generally survive from a few months to several years, and using the right material plus sticking to the maker’s guidelines stretches that time.
Match the pump’s design to your fluid, flow rate, pressure, temperature, solids level, and whether you want an air unit or an electric one. If you stop by Mandurah Pumpshop, our staff will walk you through the choices and find the model that fits your job.
Absolutely, Mandurah Pumpshop offers complete repair and service for diaphragm units. Our skilled technicians use genuine spare parts so your pump runs like new again.
