DEPA Type DP Powder Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps – Dust-Free Powder Transfer AODP

The DEPA Type DP is a purpose-built Air Operated Diaphragm Pump for the economical, almost dust-free transfer of powders and bulk solid materials. Standard AODP designs are not suited for powder transfer because conventional ball check valves and manifold geometry restrict powder flow and cause bridging. The Type DP addresses this with wide-bore Y-shaped suction and discharge manifolds that allow powder to pass freely through large, unobstructed passages.

An aeration valve fitted to the suction inlet introduces a controlled air flow to fluidise the powder immediately before it enters the pump, enabling reliable and repeatable transfer of fine, light, or cohesive powder materials. The result is continuous, almost dust-free powder conveyance with no manual handling, reducing operator exposure to airborne particulates.

The DP 80 (3") is the largest powder AODP offered by DEPA. The DP 125 (5") model in the wider DEPA range is the world's largest Air Operated Diaphragm Pump.

The DEPA Type DP is specified wherever reliable, low-dust powder transfer is required in process industries:

- Plastic Manufacturing: Transfer of pellets, granules, and powder from bulk bags or silos to processing equipment - Basic Chemistry: Powdered catalysts, salt, soda ash, and other bulk chemical powders - Pharmaceutical Industry: Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) powders and excipient transfer requiring dust control and containment - Breweries: Yeast, malt flour, and grain powder transfer in brewing and fermentation processes - Food Industry: Flour, sugar, starch, milk powder, and spice transfer with hygienic and dust containment requirements
