The RC SBoxer 1/2” Series of AODD pumps have been designed for applications where a pump may be integrated as part of a machine for controlled output of a liquid within a metering and dosing application.

The unit is controlled remotely via a PLC and Solenoid Valves, with regulated volumes of air injected into each diaphragm separately via the two central air inlet ports. The pump is constructed without a central air exchanger with only a shaft in the central block.

An external PLC controls the speed, number of cycles, switching point and volume of air transferred into the pump.

Typical fluids that this design of pump are used for include Inks, Chemicals, Glues & Adhesives, liquid slurries containing solid particles, Gels, Resins, Fuels, Oils and Grout.

The accuracy of the pump is determined by the volume in each chamber and they are often used in conjunction with flowmeters in applications requiring a high dosing accuracy.

Based on the same design of our existing boxer design where diaphragms can be supplied in a variety of materials including NBR, Santoprene, EPDM, Hytrel and PTFE.

This range of pump is truly versatile having the ability to handle viscosities up to 20000cp, and solid passage up to 4mm making it suitable for handling a vast range of fluids that are far beyond the capabilities of other pump types. It also has a very gentle pumping action making it excellent for handling shear sensitive fluids.

This diaphragm pump is Atex zone 2 as standard meaning it is suitable for operation in non safe potentially flammable environments. As an option, this pump can be constructed for an Atex zone 1 environment if required. This AODD pump is also able to run in high humidity environments which may cause issues for other pumps fitted with electric motors.

The RC SBoxer 50 AODD pump is able to run dry for long periods and is capable of self-priming up to 4m vertically from dry, but when wetted can prime up to 9.5M. The flow rates from this diaphragm pump can be varied very easily via a plc enabling precise flow rates if required. This unit can achieve flow rates up to 60L/min.

Features:

-          Self Priming from Dry up to 4M (9.5M when wetted)

-          Solid Handling

-          Adjustable flow

-          Wide viscosity handling with the ability to handle suspended solids

-          Operated on non lubricated air

-          Wide range of materials ensures suitability across a range of process fluids. They can be made in POMc (Polyoxymethylene Copolymer) an engineered plastic with excellent strength, stiffness, strong fatigue and creep resistant. Chemically compatible with oils and organic solvents. Units are also available in UHMWPE / PE1000 (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) which offers excellent corrosion resistance, high impact strength, with self lubricating properties.

-          Available with ATEX 1 or 2 Certification, and IECEX Certification
