Energy bills are rising, regulations are tightening, and pressure is on for industrial leaders to slash consumption, cut emissions, and keep operations running reliably and profitably.
“Five years ago, energy saving was optional. But today it’s essential – driven by stricter regulations and rising operational pressure that make efficiency a necessity rather than a choice,” says Sapan Kumar, Cognito Business Development Manager for Southeast Asia and China. “As a result, energy reduction is one of the most important things for any industry right now.”
At Cognito, we understand these evolving challenges deeply. Our Electrically Operated Double Diaphragm (EODD) pumps represent a strategic shift toward smarter, cleaner, and more cost-effective fluid transfer for a variety of industries, including ceramics, packaging, paints, and chemicals.
For decades, pneumatic air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps have been the standard across many industries. However, the hidden inefficiencies in these systems are increasingly unsustainable:
Consider a typical ceramics plant operating pumps for 12-16 hours a day. A leading global ceramic manufacturer reported a 74% reduction in energy costs after switching from AODD to Cognito’s EODD pumps, achieving payback in under a year.
Here’s why:
For applications like glue transfer in corrugated packaging (18-20 hours/day operations) or paint manufacturing, where energy savings impact cost per unit produced, switching to EODD pumps yields immediate and measurable results.
Cognito’s EODD pumps are designed to operate efficiently under extreme conditions. They feature bigger & robust patented diaphragms that allow for higher flow per stroke, reducing pump speed and increasing diaphragm life
Our remote monitoring allows for quick decision-making and minimized downtime. Cognito’s EODD pumps are IoT-enabled and provide operators with:
Backed by 60 years of design experience, Cognito pumps withstand aggressive chemicals, abrasive slurries, and harsh environments. Their sealless design eliminates leaks common in other technologies, while the built-in dampener facilitates a pulsation-free flow that reduces pipe vibrations and improves process accuracy.
Cognito’s EODD pumps provide a range of operational benefits that enhance plant performance and reliability. Their sealless design reduces component failures and lowers maintenance costs, while fewer spare parts are needed compared to screw, piston, or lobe pumps, simplifying maintenance routines.
The result is shorter mean time to repair (MTTR) and higher mean time between failure (MTBF), which ensures less downtime and more consistent uptime. The pumps’ leak sensors detect and contain leaks effectively, preventing product loss and environmental harm.
With versatility across ceramics slip recirculation and casting, corrugated packaging glue transfer, paints and coatings requiring gentle transfer of shear-sensitive fluids, and pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals needing leak-free, precise, and robust fluid transfer, Cognito’s EODD pumps deliver reliability, safety, and operational excellence in a wide range of demanding industrial applications.
“Investing in an energy efficient pump is a smart decision. If you’re still using AODD pumps, you’re not only wasting air, but bleeding cost and energy,” Kumar says.
Cognito’s EODD pumps are not just an upgrade for your facility. They are a strategic investment in sustainability, operational excellence, and cost efficiency.
With robust designs, smart digital controls, and proven energy savings of up to 75%, these pumps help industries achieve their environmental and financial goals without compromising reliability.
