The speciality about the SANDPIPER HEAVY DUTY BALL VALVE pump is, these pumps are designed in such a way that the ball check valves are placed away from the diaphragm; which makes sure, even there are any sedimentation at the ball check valve area, it doesn’t affect the diaphragm and protects it from ruptures or any damages.
Top, Down, & Side Porting Positions
Optimized performance depending on the pumped fluid or installation requirements.
● Top Ported: For fluids containing floating solids, suspended solids, or entrained gases. The discharge port is positioned above the center of the pump for easier evacuation and less build-up of solid material or gases.
● Down Ported: For fluids containing settling solids. The discharge port is positioned below the center of the pump so solids settle in the elbow and are discharged. This helps reduce wear on the diaphragms and associated components.
● Side Ported: For use in confined spaces. The ports are positioned with the center of the pump, allowing for installation in smaller, confined spaces.
KEY FEATURES OF SANDPIPER HEAVY DUTY BALL VALVE PUMPS
Externally Serviceable Air Distribution System
Allows for quick and easy access to the main air drive components without disassembly of the entire pump and / or removing it from service
Cross-Drilled Directional Spool Valve
Guarantees the pump will not stall and ensures on / off reliability
All Bolted Construction
Ensure sealing forces are applied evenly across the pump for leak-free operation
Heavy Duty Actuator Plungers
Ensure reliable pilot valve operation
Robust Diaphragm Connecting Rod
Guaranteed not to bend or break; assures reliable and consistent diaphragm operation
Diaphragm Wear Pads
Extend the life of the diaphragm by reducing the frictional stresses associated with the outer diaphragm plate during operation
Weighted Elastomeric Check Balls
For reliable pump performance with viscous fluids
Large Flow Area
Reduces fluid velocity through pump, which often lessens wear
Thick Manifold & Chamber Walls
Greater wear resistance when pumping solids and solid laden slurries, providing extended service life
