Sandpiper S30 Non-Metallic AODD Pump
Sandpiper’s S30 Non-Metallic AODD Pump, Containment Duty Pump
Sandpiper’s S30 Non-Metallic Containment Duty AODD Pump has been designed to handle highly corrosive and hazardous chemical fluid requirements. 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 Polypropylene, PDVF with TPE (thermoplastic elastomers) and PTFE options in diaphragms and check valves.
Why use containment duty pumps?
Due to environment concerns regarding corrosive or hazardous fluids escaping into the environment, a large portion of the time is required to clean up and recover the lost materials. On top of the concerns, there will be costs of downtime, lost productions, manpower, equipment replacement, disposal fees and fines can be excessive. Prevention of these leaks 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 environment the cost of these losses are significant as it’s considered losing profit. 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 end of the processing time or until its scheduled maintenance.
Some of the features of the AODD Pumps highlights the advantages of the pump in industrial applications;
- The containment duty pumps are equipped with leak detection devices that are designed to accommodate visual, mechanical and electronic leak detection device.
- The durable, bolted construction of the S30 is superior to the clamped-band construction pump, providing exceptional 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)
- S30 offers air-side interchangeability with Sandpiper S1F, S15 and S20
- Sandpiper’s original ADS is fully interchangeable, repairable, and inline-serviceable.
