air-operated double-diaphragm pumps

York Fluid Controls carries Sandpiper AODD pumps for the chemical sector.

York Fluid Controls is the Ontario stocking distributor of Sandpiper air-operated double-diaphragm pumps, or AODD pumps. A sister company to Versa-Matic, Sandpiper manufactures the popular Signature Series of diaphragm pumps, as well as standard-duty units. These pumps are built for use in a broad variety of industries, including construction, food processing, wastewater, and mining. Another major sector that relies on these AODD pumps is the chemical sector.

From bulk transfer to injection

Chemical manufacturing is tough on pumps, so Sandpiper produces a lineup of air-operated double-diaphragm pumps that are up to the challenge. These products are used in many places within chemical plants, where they are extremely well suited. Typically 70 per cent of the AODD pumps in a chemical facility are used in sump applications, in which they deal with aggressive chemicals, small solids, abrasives, and explosive atmospheres. Sandpiper’s heavy-duty flap valve pumps are ideal for pumping line-sized solids, bottom discharge porting, and superior suction lift, and they are easy to maintain.

Sandpiper also recommends its Signature Series heavy-duty ball valve pumps for pumping thick slurries and abrasives and pumping settling, suspended, or floating solids. These units have multiple porting options and thick chamber walls, plus a metallic core that is 30-60 per cent heavier than solid rubber is.

Among the most common applications for Sandpiper air-operated double-diaphragm pumps in the chemical industry: filter presses; utility (portable); tanker or railcar unloading; bulk transfer; day tank transfer; batching; packaging; drum and tote; processing; injection; and mixing.

A Warren Rupp, Inc. brand, Sandpiper has held a leading position in the AODD pump market since 1965. York Fluid Controls supplies Sandpiper products in the broadest range of pump sizes, types, and models to meet the needs of a vast array of applications. Other industries that use these pumps include ceramics, oil and gas, personal care/pharmaceuticals, and the automotive sector.
