Polymer transfer pump applications
Recommended Yamada pump family NDP Series AODD pumps (most common industrial choice) https://www.yamadapump.com/ndp-series/ Why it’s reliable for polymer Air-powered and easy to control with an air regulator (simple turndown) Can run slow to reduce polymer shear Self-priming and tolerant of intermittent operation Handles viscosity changes better than many fixed-speed pump types Common configuration notes Non-metallic…
Read MoreBest Yamada pumps for epoxy & resin dispensing systems
For most industrial epoxy/resin dispensing and transfer duties, the best-fit Yamada solution is typically an NDP Series air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pump, selected and configured specifically for the resin chemistry, viscosity, and dispensing method. https://www.yamadapump.com/ndp-series/ 1) Bulk transfer / supply to a dispenser (day tank or feed system) Recommended: Yamada NDP Series AODD pump (often…
Read MoreMain differences: Coolant transfer vs. Antifreeze transfer pumps
Both “coolant” and “antifreeze” are often glycol-based fluids, so the pump style can be the same (Yamada NDP Series AODD is a common choice). The real differences that drive pump selection are usually chemistry/additives, temperature, viscosity, and contamination. https://www.yamadapump.com/ndp-series/ 1) Fluid definition (what you’re actually pumping) Coolant transfer (most common meanings): Engine coolant in vehicles/fleets…
Read MoreBest Yamada oil pumps for industrial use
For most industrial oil transfer duties, the best overall choice is typically a Yamada NDP Series AODD pump configured with oil-compatible elastomers (commonly NBR (Buna‑N) or FKM, depending on temperature and any solvent contamination). NDP pumps are popular for oil because they’re self-priming, dry-run capable, air-powered (no electric motor at the pump), and easy to…
Read MoreArtificial Lift and Extraction (Upstream): what it is and where pumps fit
Artificial Lift & Extraction (Upstream): what it is and where pumps fit What “Artificial Lift” means Artificial lift is any method used to increase production rate when a reservoir no longer has enough natural energy to lift fluids to surface, or when fluids are too heavy, gassy, sandy, or the well has high backpressure. It’s…
Read MorePipeline, Processing and Transfer (Midstream): what it covers and where pumps are used
Pipeline, Processing & Transfer (Midstream): what it covers and where pumps are used Midstream is the “between” segment of oil & gas—gathering, boosting, treating/processing, storing, and transporting hydrocarbons and related fluids from the field to refineries/petrochemical plants or export terminals. Typical assets include: Gathering systems & pipeline stations Compressor stations (gas) and pump stations (liquids)…
Read MoreSlurry and High‑Wear Oil and Gas Applications (and where Yamada AODD pumps fit)
Slurry & High‑Wear Oil & Gas Applications (and where Yamada AODD pumps fit) In oil & gas, “slurry/high-wear” usually means fluids carrying abrasives (sand, scale, catalyst fines, proppant residue, rust) that rapidly wear pump internals. These services often appear in upstream production facilities, midstream terminals, and maintenance/turnaround work—especially where you have dirty, variable, intermittent flow.…
Read MoreOil and Gas extraction pump recommendations
Choose reliable Yamada pump solutions for oil & gas extraction and production support services. Where Yamada pumps are commonly used in oil & gas extraction Yamada air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps are a strong, reliable fit for many upstream and midstream support duties, especially when you need: Dry-run capability (no damage when run without liquid…
Read MorePneumatic (air‑operated) pumps for oil applications
For pumping oil with a pneumatic pump, the most common and reliable choice is an air‑operated double diaphragm (AODD) pump—especially for transfer, unloading, sump/containment, and dirty oil services. In the Yamada lineup, this is typically the NDP Series (our flagship industrial AODD family). https://www.yamadapump.com/ndp-series/ Why an air‑operated pump is a good fit for oil Yamada…
Read MoreAir-powered oil transfer pump applications
Yamada air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps are commonly used for oil transfer because they’re self-priming, can run dry, handle varying viscosities, and are safe in hazardous/explosion-proof environments when properly configured. The NDP Series is the go-to general industrial choice for most oil-transfer duties. https://www.yamadapump.com/ndp-series/ Common application areas Bulk oil unloading & transfer Offloading from drums,…
