• The SANDPIPER 1" SB1 Heavy-Duty Ball Pump is an exclusive design to SANDPIPER and is best-in-class for moving thin-highly viscous and small, solids-laden fluids.

    The 1" metallic heavy-duty ball pump provides excellent suction lift capabilities and is designed to withstand the most rugged, harsh ball valve pumping applications. This flexible, durable pump offers a range of features. The SB1 also has a variety of porting options, which optimize performance and make installation easy. These porting configurations solve critical problems, such as solids and abrasives settling out of the liquid chamber into the ball check area, and are designed to outlast standard pumps.

    SB1 PUMP FEATURES EXTERNALLY SERVICEABLE AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM When dirty air enters an AODD pump, it will require frequent servicing of the air distribution system. SANDPIPER is the only AODD pump manufacturer to offer an externally serviceable air distribution system (ESADS+), which allows complete access to the main air and pilot valves without removing the pump from service. Repair or clean in five minutes (versus 55 minutes for competitors), reducing your downtime by as much as 90%.

  • For more than 55 years, manufacturers across multiple industries that involve hazardous materials have trusted SANDPIPER to protect people, equipment, the environment and the material being pumped.

    The SANDPIPER ST1 AODD pump provides unsurpassed fluid containment in the event a diaphragm is breached. This leak-free pump is designed to be driven by compressed air or nitrogen.

    WHY USE CONTAINMENT-DUTY PUMPS? Environmental concerns: When fluids (like those listed below) escape to the environment, significant time and effort is required on clean up and material recovery. Additionally, the costs of downtime, lost production, manpower, equipment replacement, disposal fees and fines can be excessive. Preventing leaks when handling these substances provides a more efficient operation and avoids the damaging effects of environmental and human exposure to these toxic fluids.

    KEY ADVANTAGES

    Line-size solids handling (Flap valve versus ball valve pumps)

    Flap check valve pumps: A large flow area allows up to 3"/4" line-size solids to pass directly through the pump. Additionally, bottom discharge porting allows settling solids to pass through the pump and not settle inside the pumping chamber, preventing damage and premature wear.

    Ball check valve pumps: Much less flow area for solids to pass through. Large solids get stuck in the suction manifold and small solids can settle in the outer chamber–both issues affect pump performance.

    Superior suction lift (Flap valve versus ball valve pumps)

    Suction lift advantage: SANDPIPER’s flap valve design provides superior suction lift capabilities up to 24 ft in water. Diaphragm placement and flap valve seating combine to create a unit capable of suction lifts 15% greater than ball valve pumps.

    Dry prime: These capabilities are from a dry prime, making the SANDPIPER flap valve pump an excellent solution for situations where limited choices are available for pump priming.

  • The SH2-M pump is a 2:1 ratio, high-pressure, single-acting diaphragm pump powered via compressed air. As the only high-pressure, air-operated diaphragm flap valve pump in the world, the unit can deliver discharge pressures twice the inlet pressure up to 250 psig (17.2 barg).

    The pump can be utilized in filter press feeds and other demanding applications requiring higher discharge pressures and/or solids handling that most air-operated single-diaphragm (AOD) pumps are not capable of achieving.

    This pump is engineered with metallic seats and heavy-duty flap valves to help ensure a durable valve seal for performance in high-pressure applications. Unlike other high-pressure pumps on the market, the SANDPIPER SH2-M unit features a balanced diaphragm design. This design allows for a minimal pressure differential across the diaphragm, helping to decrease the need for replacement parts–this effectively decreases downtime and ultimately lowers the total cost of ownership.

    The SH2-M high-pressure pump is available in both aluminum and cast iron with various diaphragm (elastomer) options.
