Sandpiper BEAST heavy-duty flapper valve pump eliminates common clogging issues

The BEAST by Sandpiper

York Fluid Controls Ltd. is the source for all Sandpiper fluid-handling solutions. One of the latest innovations from this manufacturer is the BEAST, an anti-clog, heavy-duty flapper valve pump that is perfect for such applications as mine dewatering, meat and poultry processing, and chemical sumps. The Sandpiper team has designed and developed this patent-pending, air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) unit to overcome the frequent limitations of other pumps and technologies available.

Among the key advantages of this extremely heavy-duty flapper model are its thicker main shafts, the beefier flappers, and its pilot assembly.

Metallic and non-metallic models

The BEAST is distinguished in the pump market by its revolutionary flap-valve technology, which allows large solids to pass freely as it resists the accumulation of packable dust and small solids. This means the pump prevents the clogs that are common with AODD pumps by competing producers. With this groundbreaking flap-valve design solving a common issue that affects so many manufacturers, the BEAST provides the dependability that businesses have come to expect from Sandpiper pumping solutions.

Available in metallic and non-metallic two-inch models, the BEAST is ideal for pumping the widest range of liquids that contain solids and chemicals. Sandpiper recommends this pump for handling small or large solids, packable material, harsh chemicals, viscous fluids, and abrasive fluids. Other key features: thick, robust wetted chambers for added abrasion resistance; top suction/bottom discharge for easy passage of settling solids; all-bolted construction for long-term, leak-free performance; ESADS+ air-distribution system for higher reliability and speed; and the lowest air consumption in its class.

The metallic BEAST offers port size of two inches NPT, capacity from zero to 787 litres per minute (lpm), solids handling of up to five centimetres, heads up to 125 pounds per square inch (psi) or 88 metres of water, displacement/stroke of 1.8 litres, and maximum operating pressure of 125 psi. Also available from York Fluid Controls, the non-metallic model has port size of two inches NM NPT (internal), BSP (tapered), ANSI, and DIN flange, plus capacity from zero to 644 lpm, up to 46 millimetres of solids handling, heads up to 100 psi or 70 metres of water, displacement/stroke of 1.9 litres, and maximum operating pressure of 100 psi.
