SANDPIPER CONTAINMENT-DUTY 3″ (80 mm) PUMP: PROTECTING PEOPLE, EQUIPMENT AND THE ENVIRONMENT
For more than 55 years, manufacturers across multiple industries that involve hazardous materials have trusted SANDPIPER to protect people, equipment, the environment and the material being pumped.
The SANDPIPER S30 Non-Metallic 3″ AODD Pump provides unsurpassed fluid containment in the event a diaphragm is breached. Designed to handle high volumes of caustics and chemicals, the flow rate of this pump is up to 280 gpm (1,060 lpm).
This leak-free pump is designed to be driven by compressed air or nitrogen.
Why Use Containment-Duty Pumps?
Environmental concerns: When fluids (like those listed below) escape to the environment, significant time and effort is required on clean up and material recovery. Additionally, the costs of downtime, lost production, manpower, equipment replacement, disposal fees and fines can be excessive. Preventing leaks when handling these substances provides a more efficient operation and avoids the damaging effects of environmental and human exposure to these toxic fluids.
- Paints, inks and coatings
- Adhesives and resins
- Chemicals and petrochemicals
- Oils and hydrocarbons
- Acids, caustics and corrosives
- Plastics and polymers
- Contaminated water and wastewater
- Pesticides and herbicides
- Fertilizers
- Preservatives
- Mercury
- Phthalates
High cost of lost fluid: When fluids (like those listed below) escape to the environment, the cost of losing them is significant. Lost fluid means lost profit.
- Drugs and pharmaceuticals
- Foods
- Cyanotic-based paints
- Precious metal-based fluids
- Cosmetics
- Perfumes
- Printer inks
- Beer and alcohol
- Blood
- Creams and lotions
Fluids that need to be contained: Even non-toxic fluids, like clean water, can create hazards, annoyances and safety concerns if people are in or around the area surrounding a pump when a diaphragm fails. When dealing with toxic and hazardous fluids, the need to contain leaks goes from a nuisance to a critical safety need.
