Versamatic E3-3″ Bolted Metal AODD Pump
Versa-Matic E3-3″ Bolted Metallic AODD Pump
The Versa-Matic E3 3″ (76 mm) Bolted Metallic air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pump is designed for high-volume industrial fluid transfer, combining optimized flow-through castings with robust bolted construction and excellent solids-handling capability.
With a maximum flow rate of 273 gpm (1,033 lpm), the E3 is the highest-flowing metal AODD pump in the current Versa-Matic range. Its 3″ fluid connections and ability to pass solids up to 3/8″ (9.5 mm) make it suitable for demanding bulk-transfer, slurry, wastewater, chemical and mining applications.
Aluminum and stainless steel configurations are available, together with multiple diaphragm, valve-ball and seat-material combinations to suit different fluids and operating requirements. ATEX-compliant configurations are also available for applicable hazardous-area installations.
