Sandpiper S20 Non-Metallic AODD Pump, Containment Duty Pump

Sandpiper’s S20 Containment Duty AODD Pump was designed to handle highly corrosive and hazardous chemical fluids. The containment duty pumps are designed with containment chambers, hydraulically balanced/coupled pumping diaphragm and driver diaphragm assemblies. The containment chambers are designed to accommodate visual, mechanical and low-voltage leak detection devices. The Containment Duty Pumps are constructed of materials such as Polypropylene, PDVF with TPE (thermal plastic elastomers) and PTFE options in diaphragms and check valves.

Why containment duty pumps? 

Due to environmental concerns regarding corrosive or hazardous fluids escaping into the environment, a large portion of the time is required to clean up and recover lost materials. On top of the concerns, there will be costs of downtime, manpower, equipment replacement, disposal fees and fines can be excessive. Prevention of these whilst handling these fluids allows for a more efficient operation and avoids the damaging effect of these toxic fluids’ exposure towards the people and the environment.

When fluids that are considered important to the products escape to the environment the cost of these losses are significant as it’s considered losing profit. Even non-toxic fluids. Even non-toxic fluids such as water can create a hazardous environment towards the safety of the people working around the area surrounding the pump should a diaphragm fails. The Containment Duty Pump is able to prevent all these losses through its system by redirecting the fluid that breached the diaphragm towards a containment chamber that alerts its users through a visual indicator. The pump will be able to maintain its operations until the processing time or until the scheduled maintenance.

Some of the features of the AODD Pump highlights its advantages in its industrial applications;

• The Containment Duty Pumps are equipped with leak detection devices that are designed to accommodate visual, mechanical & electronic leak detection devices.
• The durable, bolted construction of the S20 is superior to the clamp-band leak-free performance.
• Sandpiper’s ESADS+ feature allows access to the complete Air Distribution System (ADS) without removing the pump from service.
• Repair or clean in 5 minutes (versus 55 minutes for competitors)
•  S20 offers air-side interchangeability with Sandpiper’s S1F, S15 and S30 pumps for reduced inventory costs.
• Sandpiper’ original ADS is fully interchangeable, repairable and inline-serviceable.
