VERDER – PASSION FOR PUMPS

Verderair
The most efficient double diaphragm pumps
Verderair double diaphragm pumps have quick-acting air valves. Verderair diaphragm pumps
therefore increase productivity, reduce operational cost and improve working environment.

Reduce operational cost

Lower air consumption
The quick-acting air valves are very fast in
changing direction. No compressed air enters the
air chamber when the stroke has completed. The
used compressed air is removed with almost no
Increase productivity restrictions. The compressed air is only used to
Higher flow rate, less maintenance move the liquid.
Low 'pressure drop' when the liquid passes the
pump chamber. Smoother flow, increased
efficiency pumping the liquid. The diaphragms
have a special profile which is designed for an
extremely long working life.

Improve working environment

Less noise
By using all of the compressed air the pump
makes less noise and the risk of freezing the
exhaust is reduced.

 Materials to choose from
to meet your most severe process

To meet your most severe process conditions, yet still having

a trouble-free operation, Verderair pumps have nine different
material options for the valve seat, diaphragm & balls.
The combination of these high quality materials together with
the choice of different pump materials give the optimum pump
selection.

Acetal Wide range of solvent resistant and withstands extreme

fatigue. Good level of abrasion resistance. Electrically conductive (ATEX).

Santoprene Good resistance to abrasive and chemical fluids.

Santoprene is compatible with some solvents (e.g. Acetone, MEK),
caustic solutions, dilute acids and alcohols.

Teflon (PTFE) Most compatible material for chemical applications,

extremely resistant to corrosion and high temperatures, very low
friction coefficient, non-adhesive.

Thermoplastic polyester (Hytrel) Good performance properties

at lower temperatures and good resistance to abrasive fluids.
Thermoplastic polyester is often a substitute for Buna-N.

Fluorelastomers (Viton) High heat resistance. Good resistance to

agressive chemicals including acids and some solvents. (e.g. xylene
and mineral spirits). Good resistance to steam as well as animal,
vegetable and petroleum oils. Resists unleaded fuels.

Geolast Abrasion resistance. Approximately same chemical

compatibility as Buna-N.

Polychloroprene (Neoprene) Good chemical resistance, good

performance with oils and many chemicals, good temperature
resistance, outstanding physical toughness, outstanding resistance
to damage caused by flexing and twisting. Resistance to abrasion is
approximately 30% higher than Buna.

EPDM Good water and chemical resistance. Not for use with oils,
greases and most solvents.

BUNA Good for petroleum-based fluids, water, oils, hydrocarbons

and mild chemicals (e.g. mineral spirits).

Acetal Santoprene PTFE Hytrel Viton Geolast Neoprene EPDM BUNA

The heart of your pump:
the air valve

Verderair has proven to be the most efficient double diaphragm

pump, mainly because of the air valves, the increased pumping
efficiency of the fluid stream and the reduced risk of freezing the
exhaust. There are two different series of air valves.

Verderair pulsation dampeners

Due to the function principle, air operated double diaphragm

pumps are generating a pulsating flow. By using a Verderair
pulsation dampener in combination with the pump, the flow
pulses will be reduced to the minimum.

The Verderair pulsation dampeners are active dampeners and achieve

the best possible dampening effect to create an almost flat flow. The
technology is based on the VA PURE technology.

Verderair Special diaphragm pumps

Besides our 4 standard series of double diaphragm pumps the

Verderair range includes 3 special pump models for specific
applications relevant in many industries and applications areas.

Verderair VA high pressure diaphragm pumps

Double diaphragm pumps have a maximum air pressure rating
of 8.4 bar. Verderair offer a series of high pressure pumps
(up to 16 bar liquid pressure) with the same benefits and features

as the reliable VA series of pumps. Pressure up to 16 bar

Verderair spare part kits

The Verderair pump structure design is engineered to create

long working life. However, as with all industrial process
equipment working, these parts in contact with the fluid will
sooner or later need to be replaced. Verder can advise on the
spare part kits to keep on stock for the number of pumps you
have purchased.

Verderair offers spare part kits for wetted parts exposed to natural wear.
Our fast delivery ensures your production process will be operational.

Verderair accessories

To assist you to optimize your production process as broadly

as possible, Verder offers an extended line of accessories for
double diaphragm pumps.

Stroke Sensor (VA and PURE)

To measure the number of strokes a pump is making, you can
use a stroke sensor. An inductive proximity switch is mounted
in the centre part of the pump. This switch generates a pulse
with every stroke of the diaphragms. The switch can be con-
nected to a controller. This controller can show you the number
of strokes the pump has made or can stop the pump after a
preset number of strokes.

example: sensor in PURE pump

Remote Operated pump (VA and PURE)

If you want to control the stroke frequency of your Verderair
VA or Verderair PURE, you can use this special option on your
pump together with a 5/2 electro-pneumatical valve.

example: remotely operated PURE pump

Manual draining (PURE only)

Because the valve balls or the cylinder valves are working as
non return valves, liquid will be kept in the pump when the
pump is stopped. To be able to evacuate the remaining liquid
on top of the valves you can use the manual draining system
on a Verderair PURE. Both side housings are equipped with a
bypass system and a manual operated valve.

example: PURE pump with manual drain, barrier system and

pulsation dampener

Pneumatical draining (PURE only)

Instead of using the manual draining system, pumps with
option code DP are equipped with side housing bypass system
and pneumatically operated valves. By using a 4/2 electro-
pneumatical valve, the draining system can be activated by an
electrical signal.

example: PURE pump with pneumatical drain, barrier system

and pulsation dampener
Barrier system (PURE only)
Verderair PURE pumps with a barrier system are
equipped with double liquid chambers and double dia-
phragms at each side. A neutral liquid is placed in the
diaphragm chambers between the diaphragms.
In each double chamber this neutral liquid is monitored
by a conductive sensor and a capacitive sensor. When a
diaphragm fails, one of the sensors will detect this and
will generate a signal. The sensors can be connected to
a controller.

example: PURE pump with barrier system

The diaphragms can be monitored by the assembly of The standard leak
