Product catalog summary
Introduction
OptiFlo is a new line of Air Operated Diaphragm (AODD) pumps developed by Johnson Pump, designed to address common issues in conventional AODD pumps such as pulsation and efficiency. The OptiFlo pumps incorporate innovative technology to provide a more efficient and reliable pumping solution.
Key Features and Innovations
  • Non-Stalling Air Motor: Works with various air types without icing issues.
  • Frictionless Pivoting Valve (FPV): Facilitates rapid air distribution, maintaining diaphragm motion.
  • Central Flow Path: Reduces hydraulic losses and air consumption, providing a stronger and even flow.
  • Flexible Diaphragm Suspension (FDS): Minimizes stress on diaphragms, reducing pulsation and extending service life.
  • Flap Valves: Operate quietly and handle solid particles better than traditional ball valves.
Design and Maintenance
The OptiFlo pumps are compact and easy to maintain, allowing quick access to vital parts for servicing. The design supports operation in any mounting position, enhancing versatility and reducing downtime.
Applications
OptiFlo pumps are suitable for various industries, including construction, aviation, paint, chemical, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, workshops, water, paper, refineries, surface treatment, and marine applications. They are particularly effective in closed systems due to their central flow principle.
Technical Specifications
  • Models: OF 15, OF 30, OF 60, OF 120
  • Max Capacity: Ranges from 20 to 130 l/min
  • Max Pump Pressure: 7 bar for all models
  • Materials: Pump housing available in PP or Al, diaphragms in PTFE, NBR, or EPDM
Global Presence
Johnson Pump has a global presence with distributors in over 50 countries, ensuring widespread availability and support for OptiFlo pumps.

OptiFlo-3

The five steps to our unique AODD solution Step 1: Develop a new non-stalling air motor that Step 4: Develop a flexible diaphragm suspension, works with all types of air – dry, moist, dirty or oily – without icing problems. which eliminates “dead ends” and gives lower pulsation. Step 2: Invent a new type of air valve – an ingenious Step 5: Replace the usual noisy ball valves with flap pneumatic device that switches the distribution of air between the air chambers in a fraction of a second. valves, thereby reducing pulsation and improving the suction capability. Step 3: Design a central flow path,...

The OptiFlo way Central flow in OptiFlo Peripheral flow in a conventional AODD pump AODD pumps haven’t really changed much over the years. The basic design has remained the same. Until now! With OptiFlo, Johnson Pump can introduce a new way of thinking. Johnson Pump has invested a lot of time in product development, searching for innovative solutions to existing problems. Radical new concepts, much imagination and several patented inventions were needed. The result? A compact and robust AODD pump with lower pulsation that works silently and gives better performance at a lower life cycle cost....

OptiFlo-5

A closer look inside OptiFlo clearly shows why, in every respect, OptiFlo is a completely breakthrough in AODD pump design. A design that is simple and compact, yet full of new patents and smart solutions. Instead of forcing the fluid round four transverse directions, OptiFlo pumps it straight through on a central flow path. This reduces hydraulic losses and gives a stronger, even flow. The principle is simple – straightforward is best! The new self-cleaning and non-stalling pneumatic air motor works with any kind of air — dry or moist, dirty or oily. The patented Flexible Diaphragm Suspension...

OptiFlo-6

Can be opened in next to no time A complete air motor with no mechanical link to the pump unit. It can be inspected and serviced without dismantling the wet parts. With the silencer replaced by a hose, OptiFlo becomes a simple submersible pump. The heart of the air motor, the FPV (Frictionless Pivoting Valve), is easily accessible. The pump can be opened for inspection or service in just a few minutes. Diaphragms are not fixed to the shaft, allowing quick and easy replacement. Inlet and outlet checkvalves, seats and shaft can be changed after loosening a few screws. OptiFlo is very easy to install...
