The Versa-Matic ¼-inch bolted plastic AODD pump

Versa-Matic is one of the continent’s premier suppliers of air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps, and York Fluid Controls provides these products in Canada. Designed for original equipment manufacturers, Versa-Matic’s ¼-inch (six millimetres) bolted plastic AODD pump offers unsurpassed system flexibility. Users can count on reliable performance from the non-stalling, lube-free air-valve system in this pump. The unit is available in polypropylene, PVDF (Kynar), or ATEX-compliant conductive Acetal models.

A quiet, compact pump

Among the key features of this Versa-Matic pump are dual-threaded manifolds that are threaded internally and externally, horizontal suction and vertical discharge centre porting with optional horizontal side ports, and an integrated muffler. The muffler makes this plastic AODD pump one of the quietest and most compact pumps in its class. In addition, conductive Acetal units can be grounded for pumping volatile media.

Technical specifications of the ¼-inch bolted plastic AODD pump include the following: a flow rate of 19 litres per minute; a port size of ¼ of an inch NPT (BSP) for both suction and discharge; air inlet and air exhaust both measuring ¼ of an inch NPT; dry suction lift of 2.44 metres; maximum solid size of one millimetre in diameter; maximum noise level of 78 decibels; and shipping weights of 1½ kilograms in polypropylene or 1.8 kilograms in Kynar.

This pump can incorporate multiple diaphragm material options, and it is available with a variety of accessories that serve to enhance its performance. York Fluid Controls can supply these accessories. One example is Versa-Matic’s line of reliable air filters and regulators, which has been developed specially for AODD pumps to decrease both maintenance and operating costs. Also available are float-actuated liquid-level controls that are operated solely by mechanical and pneumatic means; they port air through special regulators to start or stop pump operation. A third option is the Versa-Matic surge suppressor, which reduces pulsation and vibration to protect piping, valving, and instrumentation.
