How Sandpiper sump pumps are essential for moving tough solids

York Fluid Controls carries Sandpiper sump pumps.

Sandpiper pumps are renowned internationally for their strong performance in challenging applications. Available from York Fluid Controls, these pumps bring a new standard of solids removal to Canadian businesses. One Sandpiper product series that is essential to pumping technology in production plants is its sump pumps. These units are especially recommended for the removal of leaves, trash, rocks, nuts, bolts, sand, sludge, plastics, and many other difficult solids.

Sumps by Sandpiper play an extremely important role in production, whether they are enforced by a government agency or motivated by safety concerns for workers. Although they are typically low in priority when it comes to pumping technology in production facilities, sump pumps are vital to the process of capturing liquids and materials. Examples can include precipitation, chemical leaks, process runoff, and even bugs. Because of the high visibility of onsite sumps and the possibility of substantial fines for companies that do not use them correctly, many businesses have been making them a major value area of focus.

York Fluid Controls supplies Sandpiper sump pumps that meet all customer needs. Advantages of these products include cost-efficient rebuild options, on-off-on reliability for intermittent use, higher mean time between failure, and strong handling of such solids as sand, water, leaves, and debris. Among their specifications: a capability of handling up to three inches of soft solids; gravity-assisted, self-draining design; self-priming up to 24 feet; groundable design with ATEX compliance; and an all-bolted, robust design with thick external castings.

Another notable benefit of these sumps is their bottom discharge porting. Users can eliminate the damage from solids settling at the bottom of the water chamber in each pump with this exclusive bottom discharge arrangement. This is why Sandpiper’s heavy-duty pump models are better suited to challenging solids removal than standard-duty pumps, which tend to have broken diaphragm plates and premature diaphragm failure due to non-uniform wear, in addition to settling solids.

Sandpiper’s variety of sump designs ensures the longest possible operational life, whether users are measuring mean time between failures, repairs, changes, or maintenance.
