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 S20 Non-Metallic 2" AODD Pump provides unsurpassed fluid containment in the event a diaphragm is breached.
Typical Pump Versus Containment-Duty Pump
In a typical AODD pump, when the pumping diaphragm is breached, the fluid enters the air distribution system and escapes into the environment through the muffler, requiring immediate service.
In a containment-duty pump, when the pumping diaphragm is breached, the fluid enters the containment chamber and visual indicator sight tubes, alerting the user. The fluid is fully contained so the pump can continue running until the operation is complete or maintenance can be scheduled.
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.
