Maritime-Grade Durability: Discover the Unitor™ Aeroflow AODD Pump

Fluid transfer onboard vessels is no small task. From transferring bilge sludge to cleaning cargo holds, your pump system needs to be rugged, reliable, and above all, safe. In high-risk marine environments where space is limited, vapors are present, and power sources are not always within reach, traditional pumping solutions can quickly become a liability. That’s why the new Unitor™ Aeroflow Double Diaphragm (AODD) pump range is designed with safety, versatility, and marine durability at its core.

Unlike conventional pumps, AODD pumps operate using compressed air instead of electricity, removing the risks associated with sparks, short circuits, and motor overheating. This intrinsic safety makes them ideal for use in hazardous zones, especially near flammable liquids or confined, ATEX-relevant shipboard spaces.
•    Safe to use in explosive or ATEX zones
•    No need for explosion-proof electrical motors
•    Fully portable and submersible (air exhaust above liquid)

Whether you're transferring chemicals in a tank cleaning operation or dewatering during emergency maintenance, the Unitor™ Aeroflow  range delivers unmatched operational safety and flexibility.

Engineered for Real-World Marine Challenges
The marine industry deals with a complex mix of fluids from clean water and diesel fuel to sludge, oily bilge water, viscous chemicals, and abrasive slurries. While many traditional pumps struggle in these conditions, the Unitor™ Aeroflow  AODD pumps are able to overcome these and perform under maritime conditions.


Minimal Maintenance. Maximum Uptime.
Designed with the end-user in mind, the Unitor™ Aeroflow  range is easy to service, reducing downtime and operational costs. Maintenance kits for air and fluid sides are readily available, and the pump's simple design allows for fast in-field repairs without requiring skilled labor or external power tools.
That means less time fixing and more time pumping.

Typical Onboard Applications
•    Cargo hold cleaning with chemicals or high-viscosity liquids
•    Tank and bilge dewatering, including oily residues and wastewater
•    Deck and hull cleaning in combination with chemical dosing
•    Sludge and wastewater removal from separators and treatment systems
•    General fluid transfer, including oils, fuel, and lubricants
•    Emergency response, including flood management and spill containment

 

Why Choose Unitor™ Aeroflow?
By combining robust marine-grade materials with the flexibility of air operation, Unitor™ Aeroflow pumps empower your crew with a tool that performs reliably under pressure in any situation.
This is more than a pump upgrade, it’s a strategic investment in your fleet’s safety, performance, and compliance. Discover the range here: Double Diaphragm Pumps
