Introducing the QUALI-FLO™ 2” Aluminum Flap Valve Pump
March 6, 2025
At Sparkling Clear Industries, we take pride in providing high-quality industrial pumping solutions that keep operations running smoothly. As a trusted distributor of NOMAD® Pumps, we’re excited to introduce the latest innovation from JDA Global—the QUALI-FLO™ 2” Aluminum Flap Valve Pump.
This new pump is designed to be 100% retrofittable to a major market leader’s model, making it a seamless replacement option for industries that rely on heavy-duty performance. With its rugged design and superior solids-handling capabilities, the QUALI-FLO™ pump is ideal for demanding applications in mining, construction, and marine industries.
Why Choose a Flap Valve Pump Over a Ball Valve Pump?
When selecting an air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump, flap valve pumps and ball valve pumps are two of the most common options. But in applications where large solids and high-viscosity fluids are a concern, flap valve pumps offer several key advantages:
- Superior Solids Handling – Flap valve pumps allow for larger solids to pass through, reducing the risk of clogging or blockages. This makes them ideal for applications dealing with sludge, slurry, and debris-laden fluids.
- Enhanced Durability in Tough Environments – Built for rugged conditions, the QUALI-FLO™ pump’s aluminum construction provides strength without excessive weight, making it a dependable choice for heavy-duty operations.
- Increased Efficiency in High-Viscosity Fluids – Unlike ball valve pumps, which rely on gravity to seat the check balls, flap valve pumps operate efficiently even with thick, heavy materials, ensuring a more consistent flow.
- Seamless Retrofit Compatibility – If you’re currently using a competitor’s pump, this 100% retrofittable design means you can switch to NOMAD’s QUALI-FLO™ pump with minimal downtime or modifications.
