SimpleSpirits 49 pumps are ATEX-rated (Atmosphere Explosive) when used as instructed, ensuring your safety and compliance with regulations requiring ATEX-approval. EPDM diaphragms provide long life and excellent compatibility with ethyl alcohol.

They run entirely on compressed air, mitigating the risk of static discharge from electrical equipment igniting flammable vapors. Furthermore, because of their ATEX rating, SimpleSpirits distillery pumps can be connected to a source of ground in your facility to ensure that any static buildup that naturally occurs is discharged into ground. Just connect a grounding wire anywhere on the body of the pump to the source of ground.

SimpleSpirits pump bodies are manufactured by VersaMatic, with excellent technical support and easily available spare parts, should you need to make repairs in the field. The all-stainless steel carts are manufactured here at our shop in Santa Rosa.

All pumps feature air regulator controls to change the liquid flow rate and Tri Clamp in/out connections. A popular add-on is our pulsation smoother, which helps to control the pulsations that naturally occur in air diaphragm pumps.

SimpleSpirits vs. SimpleSanitary

• SimpleSpirits pumps are fully groundable to prevent static electricity buildup. SimpleSanitary pumps are not groundable.
• SimpleSpirits pumps have a threaded NPT inlet outlet with tri clamp adapters threaded into them. SimpleSanitary pumps feature tri clamp fittings that are molded into the pump manifolds with no threads or crevices, making them easier to clean and sanitize.
• SimpleSanitary pumps have an electropolished 316 SS body for easier cleaning, while SimpleSpirits have an unpolished 316 SS cast body.
• SimpleSanitary pumps are manufactured to be FDA-compliant for hygienic processing. SimpleSpirits pumps are intended for spirits and ethanol transfer, where cleaning and sanitization are not primary concerns since ethanol is a sanitizing agent in itself.
