Sandpiper Metallic AOD Pump, the SH2-M, is a 2:1 ratio high pressure pump and a single acting diaphragm pump driven by compressed air. Being 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 is mainly utilised 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 incapable of achieving. The pump has been engineered with metallic seats and heavy-duty flap valves to help ensure a durable valve seal for high-pressure performance. The SH2-M features a balanced diaphragm design which allows a minimal pressure differential across the diaphragm, helping to decrease the need for replacement parts, reduce downtime and lower the total cost of ownership. The SH2-M high pressure pump is available in both Aluminum and Cast Iron with various diaphragm elastomer options.
