Versa-Matic’s E40 sets the bar as industry’s top 1½-inch AODD pump

The E40 plastic bolted pump by Versa-Matic

York Fluid Controls Ltd. supplies innovative fluid-handling products from various manufacturers for Canadian industry. For example, Versa-Matic makes the premier 1½-inch air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump on the market: the E40 plastic bolted pump. Among the benefits of this powerful solution are installation flexibility and adjustable porting options, both vertical and horizontal.

The E40 1½-inch plastic bolted pump gives users the same levels of performance and dependability that they have come to expect from the Versa-Matic lineup – but with extra advantages.

With safe, leak-free bolted design

This unique AODD pump consists of polyvinylidene (or PVDF) and polypropylene fluoride. The latter material is a thermoplastic polymer that resists alkali and strong acid, and PVDF is a durable fluoroplastic with high chemical resistance, impact resistance, and tensile strength. The PVDF material is highly recommended for ultraviolet applications.

Imbued with a safe, leak-free bolted design and a chemically resistant, all-plastic construction with an air side and a liquid side, this bolted pump delivers consistent on/off reliability, with maximum flows of up to 378 litres per minute, class-leading solids handling of up to 12 millimetres (mm), and a displacement stroke of 1.63 litres, the highest in the industry. York Fluid Controls carries a conductive, polypropylene, ATEX-compliant variation of this pump.

Applications for which this pump is perfectly compatible include aggressive chemical transfer, waste-treatment (filter press) tasks, and metal finishing. The E40’s high chemical resistance makes it strong enough for corrosive content, and it can supply high flow rates in a portable size.

Other technical specifications of the E40 plastic bolted pump: port size of 1½ inches (ANSI/DIN) for both suction and discharge; ¾-inch NPT air inlet; one-inch NPT air exhaust; suction lift of 5.8 metres (dry) and 8.8 metres (wet); maximum solid size of 12 mm in diameter; maximum noise level of 89 decibels; and shipping weight from 37 to 51 kilograms, depending on the materials.

Six different models of the E40 AODD pump are available from the supplier, two each in wetted polypropylene, conductive polypropylene, and kynar. The diaphragms are available in PTFE (2-PC) or santoprene.
