Advantages of Using Yamada Diaphragm Pumps

Certified & Tested for Quality  

As an ISO 9001-certified company, Yamada adheres to rigorous manufacturing standards to ensure high quality, exceptional performance, and consistency—with every pump undergoing rigorous liquid testing prior to shipment.

Superior Design 

All Yamada pumps utilize a unique, patented, non-lubricated air-valve design and are field-proven to provide stall-free operation throughout their entire lifespan. Yamada AODD pumps incorporate an individual modular pilot valve that actuates the air valve for easy use.
