Finish Thompson launches 3-inch plastic AODD pump
Finish Thompson Inc. recently announced the launch of the FTI Air Model FT30P, a 3-inch plastic air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pump engineered to deliver reliable performance, simplified maintenance and broad chemical compatibility for industrial fluid handling applications.
Designed with fewer parts, a stall-resistant air valve and polypropylene-wetted construction, the FT30P moves aggressive and abrasive fluids efficiently while reducing unplanned downtime. At the core of the FT30P is a stall-resistant air valve that eliminates the need for separate pilot valves or mechanically operated pilots, reducing wear points and simplifying the air distribution system. This streamlined architecture supports consistent on/off performance and dependable cycling, even under challenging operating conditions where conventional AODD pumps may be prone to stalling or sticking.
To support leak-free operation and environmental protection, the FT30P features bolted construction and precision-molded liquid chambers that help maintain gasket compression over time. Polypropylene-wetted components provide resistance to alkalis and strong acids, while diaphragm, ball, seat and O-ring options enable users to tailor the pump to specific chemical, temperature and abrasion requirements. This material flexibility helps enhance safety and extend service life in applications involving corrosive or hard-to-handle liquids.
