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 paint products are often delivered to the facility in liquid form. SANDPIPER pumps are used to unload tank trucks and railway cars.
- Best Type: HDB
- 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. - Storage Tanks
- Resins, solvents and other fluids are pumped from storage tanks to mixing tanks
using SANDPIPER pumps. - Best Type: CD
- Application Challenges:
- Settling (Non-Suspended Solids)
- Abrasives
- Other Considerations: Use a Containment Duty Pump to protect against spills and hazards
associated with chemical handling. - Pre-Mixing Tanks
- Resins, solvents and pigments are combined in pre-mixing tanks. After they are mixed,
the emulsion is pumped to a paint mill using SANDPIPER pumps. - Best Type: HDB
- Application Challenges:
- Settling (Non-Suspended Solids)
- Abrasives
- High Pressure
- Other Considerations: Use a bottom ported Heavy Duty Ball Valve Pump to minimize settling
while maximizing abrasion resistance. - Milling & Grinding
- After mixing, the pre-mixed pigment is thoroughly “milled” taking out the clumps. SANDPIPER pumps are used to pump the solutions to be dispersed.
- Best Type: HDB
- Application Challenges:
- Dead Head
- Settling (Non-Suspended Solids)
- Abrasives
- Other Considerations: Use a Warren Rupp Tranquilizer® Surge Suppressor to dampen pulsation before entering the Milling machine.
- Straining
- Straining is the final process in the production. Paint is pumped to the strainer using
SANDPIPER pumps for final filtration. - Best Type: HDB
- Application Challenges:
- Dead Head
- Settling (Non-Suspended Solids)
- Abrasives
- Other Considerations: SANDPIPER® Pumps are perfect for straining applications because they can adjust to changing backpressures from the straining opperation. Use a Tranquilizer to minimize line shock.
- Filling
- Drums, buckets or pails are filled and sealed for shipment during the filling process SANDPIPER pumps are used in the process.
- Best Type: HDB
- Application Challenges:
- Dead Head
- Settling (Non-Suspended Solids)
- Abrasives
- Other Considerations: The ESADS+Plus® On-Off-On reliability guarantee will assure that
the pump works when required and when other brands won’t. - 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
- 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
- Other Considerations: Utility pump applications are often overlooked opportunities to install a SANDPIPER pump to improve safe and efficient fluid handling.
