Sandpiper Air-Operated Diaphragm Pumps by Kelair Pumps Australia

Case Study
Sales Engineer Michael Waters (TAS)

Sandpipers uplift spirits Kelair's customer required air-operated diaphragm pumps to pump abrasive spirit-based paint for a new spray booth at their Launceston-based foundry.

They were trialling a 1" diaphragm pump in stainless steel / teflon construction and found it handled the required duty.

However, after going to the site to view their spray booth, and asking a few questions about the pump, Kelair's engineer found they were having issues with the pump stalling, which was quite a problem because of its accessibility.

Kelair's engineer mentioned the benefits of our Sandpiper air-operated diaphragm pumps, including the guaranteed nonstall feature and the externally serviceable air distribution system.

Sandpiper pumps are fitted with pilot spools which incorporate what is called "cross-drilled technology".

This feature, used in the ESADS+Plus air distribution system ensures reliable performance and guaranteed start/stop performance.

With this and all the other features standard on the Sandpiper pumps the customer was happy to place an order with others to follow over the next several months.
