SIZING to extend MTBF and…lower total cost of ownership
Pumping requirements (flow & head) for most applications can be met
by multiple sizes of pumps. Talk to Warren Rupp’s application engineers
to assist you with a size selection which best fits your total cost of
ownership budget. An appropriately sized-up pump will lower the
consolidated initial investment, repair, labor and energy costs.
BEST PRACTICE ensures desirable returns on the initial investment
frequently measurable in weeks.

Rely on the field-proven experience of SANDPIPER®…to deliver the superior quality and performance needed for paint manufacturing

• Tank & Rail Cars
• Raw materials used in the
  manufacture of ceramic products are often delivered to the facility in slurry form. SANDPIPER pumps are used to unload tank trucks and railway
  cars.
• Best Type: HDF
• Application Challenges:
• Settling (Non-Suspended Solids)
• Abrasives
• Suction Lift
• Other Considerations: Choose a pump with high flow rates so that the time to unload the tank is minimized.
• Holding Tanks
• Filtered fluids are often recirculated then pumped from storage tanks to mixing tanks using SANDPIPER pumps.
• Best Type: HDB
• Application Challenges:
• Settling (Non-Suspended Solids)
• Abrasives
• Other Considerations: Use a bottom ported Heavy Duty Ball Valve Pump to minimize settling while maximizing abrasion resistance.
• Mixing Tanks (Above Ground)
• Fluids are mixed in large mixing tanks in preparation for final casting. Sometimes mixed fluids are pumped to holding tanks before casting using SANDPIPER pumps.
• Best Type: HDB
• Application Challenges:
• Settling (Non-Suspended Solids)
• Abrasives
• Other Considerations: Use a bottom ported Heavy Duty Ball Valve Pump to minimize settling while maximizing abrasion resistance.
• Mixing Tanks (Below Ground)
• Fluids are mixed in large mixing tanks in preparation for final casting. Sometimes mixed fluids are pumped to holding tanks before casting using SANDPIPER pumps.
• Best Type: HDF
• Application Challenges:
• Settling (Non-Suspended Solids)
• Abrasives
• Suction Lift
• Other Considerations: A Heavy Duty Flap Valve Pump has unparralleld suction lift capabilty and is ideal for handling viscous and high specific gravity fluids.
• Cast Shop (Gravity Molds)
• Fluids are normally pumped from underground holding tanks and distributed to various casting stations to fill the molds. Gravity castings are typically manually filled with the pump “deadheaded” against a ball valve operated by the employee filling the mold.
• Best Type: HDF
• Application Challenges:
• Dead Head
• Settling (Non-Suspended Solids)
• Abrasives
• Suction Lift
• Other Considerations: The ESADS+Plus® On-Off-On reliability guarantee will assure that the pump works when required and when other brands won’t. Use a
  Tranquilizer to minimize line shock.
• Cast Shop (Casting Machines)
• Casting machines are used to fill molds automatically. Sandpiper pumps are used to fill the molds.
• Best Type: HDF
• Application Challenges:
• Dead Head
• Settling (Non-Suspended Solids)
• Abrasives
• Suction Lift
• Other Considerations: These units are normally in permanent installations so a long mean time between failures (MTBF) is key.
• Cast Shop (High Pressure Casting Machines)
• High pressure casting machines are used to fill molds more quickly while extracting water from the press. SANDPIPE R manufactures a high pressure pump for this application.
• Best Type: SDHP
• Application Challenges:
• Dead Head
• Settling (Non-Suspended Solids)
• Abrasives
• Suction Lift
• Other Considerations: The Heavy Duty Ball Valve Pump design will not wear like standard high pressure ball valve pump designs.
• Cast Shop (Deionized Water)
• Deionized water is used to clean molds intermittently. Deionized water is pure and will not leave trace contamination. A SANDPIPER non-metallic pump is preferred.
• Best Type: SD
• Application Challenges:
• Nonmetallic Pumps Recommended
• Other Considerations: Use non-metallic materials to assure no contamination is introduced during the cleaning process.
• Glaze Spray
• Glaze is applied using manual or automatic spray guns, to give the product color and a shiny, smooth finish. SANDPIPE R pumps are used to atomize the glaze.
• Best Type: SD
• Application Challenges:
• Dead Head
• Abrasives
• Nonmetallic Pumps Recommended
• Other Considerations: Choose a seat material that will handle the high velocities and abrasive characteristics of glaze spraying applications.
• Waste Water Treatment
• Waste generated from the
  manufacturing process is normally treated on site. SANDPIPER pumps are
  used for sumping, dosing and filter press applications.
• Best Type: ALL
• Application Challenges:
• Dead Head
• Settling (Non-Suspended Solids)
• Abrasives
• Suction Lift
• High Pressure
• Nonmetallic Pumps
• Chemical Resistance
• Other Considerations: Industrial waste treatment areas are excellent applications for SANDPIPER Pumps and accessories.
• Utility Pumps
• Basic fluid handling applications from a drum.
• Best Type: SD
• Application Challenges:
• Dead Head
• Settling (Non-Suspended Solids)
• Abrasives
• Suction Lift
• Chemical Resistance
• Other Considerations: Utility
  pump applications are often overlooked opportunities to install a
  SANDPIPER pump to improve safe and efficient fluid handling.
