VERSAMATIC
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about VERSAMATIC from 3G Electric.
What body materials are available for VERSAMATIC AODD pumps?
VERSAMATIC offers AODD pumps in 316 stainless steel, aluminum, and polypropylene body materials. The 316 stainless steel models (e.g., E1SA6X669C-ATEX) are suited for corrosive or sanitary fluids. Aluminum models (e.g., E2AA6X660C-ATEX) provide a lightweight, cost-effective option for general industrial transfer. Polypropylene models (e.g., E2PA5F5T9C) offer chemical resistance for aggressive acids and solvents. Each material is selected based on fluid compatibility, temperature range, and mechanical strength requirements.
What replacement parts are available for VERSAMATIC pumps through 3G Electric?
3G Electric stocks genuine VERSAMATIC replacement parts including air-end repair kits (e.g., 476.V071.000 and 476.V353.000), diaphragms in materials like PTFE with neoprene backing, check valve seals (e.g., PTFE part 720.035.600), and valve seats in Santoprene, PTFE, aluminum, or stainless steel. These components are designed to restore pump performance and extend service life. The air-end repair kits include seals and gaskets for the pneumatic drive section.
Are VERSAMATIC pumps ATEX certified for hazardous locations?
Yes, several VERSAMATIC pump models carry ATEX certification, as indicated by the '-ATEX' suffix in part numbers such as E1SA6X669C-ATEX and E3AA5T5A0C-ATEX. These pumps are designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts may be present. The certification covers the pump's construction and materials to minimize ignition risks. Always verify the specific ATEX classification against your site's zone requirements.
What is the maximum flow rate and head for VERSAMATIC AODD pumps?
VERSAMATIC AODD pumps cover a range of flow rates and heads. For example, the 1/2-inch 316 stainless steel model (E5SP5T559C) delivers up to 12 gpm, while the 3-inch aluminum model (E3AA5T5A0C-ATEX) can achieve 273 gpm. Maximum head is 289 ft across many models, such as the 2-inch aluminum pump (E2AA6X660C-ATEX). Actual performance depends on air supply pressure, fluid viscosity, and suction conditions.
Can VERSAMATIC pumps handle abrasive or viscous fluids?
Yes, VERSAMATIC AODD pumps are suitable for abrasive slurries, viscous liquids, and fluids containing solids, due to their simple diaphragm design with no close-tolerance internal parts. The choice of wetted materials—such as Santoprene or PTFE for seats and check valves—affects wear resistance and chemical compatibility. For highly abrasive media, stainless steel or aluminum seats may be preferred over elastomeric options. The pumps can handle solids up to the size of the ball check valve passage.
How do I select the correct VERSAMATIC air-end repair kit for my pump?
Air-end repair kits are specific to the pump model and air-end design. For example, kit 476.V071.000 is used with certain 1-inch and 2-inch pump models, while kit 476.V353.000 is for the VMB20 series. To select the correct kit, match the pump's model number or part number (e.g., E1SA6X669C-ATEX) to the kit's compatibility list. The kit includes seals and gaskets for the air valve and pilot valve sections. 3G Electric can assist in cross-referencing based on your pump's serial number or existing part numbers.
