Keep Production Moving With the Valor Series AODD Pump

In industrial environments, pump performance is not only about flow rate. It comes down to how efficiently a pump runs, how quickly it can be serviced, and how reliably it keeps operating day after day.

Small inefficiencies in air usage or slow cycling can create delays. Complicated maintenance can stretch repair times. Over time, these issues affect uptime and increase operating costs.

The Versamatic 1" air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump in the Valor series addresses these everyday challenges. It focuses on faster operation, simpler service, and efficient air usage so teams can keep systems running without interruption.

Faster Air-Side Speed Improves Pump Performance

Air-side speed refers to how quickly the pump cycles and responds to demand. Faster cycling allows the pump to move fluid more consistently and respond quickly to changes in operation.

With improved air-side performance, the 1" Valor AODD pump delivers:

• Faster cycling that supports steady fluid movement
• Better responsiveness during process changes
• Improved throughput without added complexity

For maintenance teams and operators, this means fewer slowdowns and more predictable performance. When the pump keeps up with the process, production keeps moving.

Simplified Maintenance Keeps Teams Moving

Maintenance teams are often working against the clock. When a pump is difficult to service, downtime increases and resources get stretched.

The Valor series was designed with serviceability in mind. The goal is to reduce the effort required for teardown and rebuild while making routine maintenance more straightforward.

This results in:

• Faster service times
• Less complexity during repairs
• Reduced time spent offline

Versamatic AODD pumps are known for ease of maintenance, helping teams respond quickly when issues arise. This approach reduces the burden on maintenance staff and supports faster return to operation.

Reduced Air Consumption Supports Efficient Operation

Compressed air is one of the highest operating costs in AODD systems. Improving air efficiency has a direct impact on energy usage and overall operating cost.

The Valor platform improves how air is used without sacrificing performance. Lower air consumption means the system can run more efficiently while reducing strain on compressors.

For operations, this leads to:

• Lower energy demand from compressed air systems
• More consistent performance across applications
• Reduced operating costs over time

In real applications, improved air efficiency has been shown to reduce energy usage and support long-term savings.

Reduced Downtime Where It Matters Most

Performance gains from faster cycling, easier maintenance, and improved air efficiency all lead to one outcome: less downtime.

Downtime affects production schedules, labor, and operating costs. Pumps that are easier to maintain and operate reliably help reduce interruptions and keep processes stable.

With the 1" Valor AODD pump, teams benefit from:

• Fewer unexpected interruptions
• Faster repairs when service is needed
• More consistent operation over time

Reliable pumping supports uptime, and uptime supports productivity.

Built on Versamatic’s Commitment to Reliability

The Valor platform reflects Versamatic’s long-standing focus on reliability and ease of use. Since 1983, Versamatic has provided AODD pumps that customers depend on for consistent performance and simple operation.

Every pump is backed by:

• Proven reliability in real-world applications
• Designs that simplify maintenance
• A global distributor network that provides support when needed

This combination helps maintenance managers and engineers keep systems running without unnecessary complications.

Expanding the Valor Series

The performance benefits of Valor extend beyond the 1" pump. New sizes are on the way, giving customers more options across different flow requirements.

1 ½” Valor AODD pump

The upcoming 1 ½” model delivers higher flow in a compact footprint. It provides up to 135 GPM, which is a 35% increase compared to previous designs. It also uses about 34% less air per gallon and offers improved solids handling up to 0.50 inches.

This model also includes design features that support longer diaphragm life and faster service, including a patented air valve cartridge that can be replaced without full pump teardown.

2" Valor AODD pump

The 2" model expands performance further with flow rates up to 200 GPM. It reduces air usage by up to 26% compared to earlier models and increases solids handling capability to 0.66 inches.

It also delivers improved suction capability and simplified maintenance through the same Valor design approach.

As the platform grows, customers can expect consistent performance improvements across more applications.

Performance That Keeps You Running

The biggest gains in pump performance often come from improving the fundamentals. Speed matters. Efficiency matters. Serviceability matters.

The Versamatic 1" Valor AODD pump brings these elements together to help teams:

• Move fluid more efficiently
• Service pumps with less effort
• Reduce air usage and operating costs

Reliable operation is not only about how a pump performs. It is about how consistently your team can keep it running.
