Mumbai, Maharashtra, India- IDEX Corporation has introduced the Cognito 1-inch electrically operated double diaphragm (EODD) pump, rounding out its lineup of heavy-duty, energy-efficient pumps designed to revolutionize fluid handling across industries. With this latest addition, the Cognito range now spans from 1 to 4 inches, covering various flow capacities and application needs.
The Cognito series brings a significant shift in industrial pumping by replacing traditional air-operated diaphragm pumps (AODDs) with electric-driven technology, offering unmatched energy efficiency, reliability, and environmental sustainability. By eliminating the need for compressed air, the pump reduces energy consumption by 60–70%, slashing operational costs and carbon emissions while boosting productivity.
Built from a deep understanding of industry challenges, Cognito addresses common issues with conventional diaphragm pumps, such as high operational complexity and maintenance expenses. Its robust design ensures a longer service life, less waste generation, and enhanced operational safety, while also contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
Speaking about the launch, Archana Gundre, Managing Director, FMT Pumps Group – Asia, stated, “With the Cognito 1” pump, we complete our portfolio of heavy-duty pumps from 1” to 4”. This innovation isn’t just another pump—it’s a breakthrough solution that meets industry demands for energy savings and sustainability across diverse sectors.”
The Cognito pump also features advanced capabilities such as self-priming, dry-run operation, leak detection, and the ability to handle abrasive, corrosive, and shear-sensitive fluids. With seal-less technology and an extended diaphragm lifespan (2x longer), it delivers superior reliability and reduced downtime.
What sets Cognito further apart is its integration of IoT-enabled monitoring through the COGNITOsmartINSIGHTS portal, enabling real-time diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and performance optimization from remote locations.
