Sanitary & Industrial Pumps · 40+ Years

The right pump, specified by engineers who actually size them.

Triplex Sales has specified, sold, and supported sanitary and industrial pumps for four decades. We stock and supply rotary lobe, centrifugal, twin screw, AODD, and EODD pumps from Waukesha Cherry-Burrell, APV, Wangen, Graco, and Inoxpa — and our application engineers size them in-house, against your actual duty point. From 0.1 GPM dosing to 5,000+ GPM bulk transfer.

01 — Pump Types

Five pump families covering essentially every sanitary and industrial duty.

Each pump type solves a different class of problem. Rotary lobe for gentle, viscous sanitary transfer. Centrifugal for high-flow low-viscosity duty. Twin screw when one pump has to do CIP and product. AODD for solids-laden or hazardous duty without electric power. EODD when you want the simplicity of a diaphragm pump and the efficiency of an electric drive.

Sanitary rotary lobe PD pumps
Positive Displacement

Rotary Lobe

3-ACIPLow-Shear

The sanitary workhorse. Self-priming, gentle on product, viscosity-tolerant. Waukesha Cherry-Burrell Universal 1, 2, 2 ND, 3, and APV R Series — from pilot-scale dosing to 660 GPM transfer.

Sanitary centrifugal pumps
Dynamic

Centrifugal

High FlowLow ΔP3-A

Efficient high-flow pumping on low-viscosity fluids. Sanitary centrifugals from Waukesha Cherry-Burrell and APV — water, beer, wort, juice, CIP loops, and general transfer.

Sanitary twin screw pumps
Positive Displacement

Twin Screw

Product+CIPLow PulsationShear-Sensitive

One pump does both product transfer and CIP cleaning. Exceptional on shear-sensitive or long-fiber product, pulsation-free flow, high efficiency over a wide viscosity range. We carry Waukesha Cherry-Burrell and WANGEN Twin NG twin screw pumps.

Air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps
Positive Displacement

AODD

Dry-Run OKATEXSolids

Air-operated double-diaphragm. Runs dry, handles solids, intrinsically safe in hazardous atmospheres. Great for drum unloading, waste, chemicals, and intermittent duty. We carry Graco AODD pumps.

Electric-operated double-diaphragm (EODD) pumps
Positive Displacement

EODD

ElectricEfficientQuiet

Electric-operated double-diaphragm. AODD-style flexibility without the compressed-air cost. Up to 80% more efficient than AODD; quieter and easier to integrate into modern plants. We carry Graco EODD pumps (including the Quantm line).

05 — FAQ

Questions we actually get.

If your question isn't here, call a Triplex Sales application engineer — we size pumps, troubleshoot installs, and ship parts every day.

Which pump type should I use for my application?
Start with your fluid (viscosity, solids, shear sensitivity, chemistry, temperature) and your duty (flow, pressure, head). Use the selector matrix above as a first pass, then call us — sizing is as much an engineering judgment as a calculation, and our application team does this every day.
What brands do you carry, and why those?
Waukesha Cherry-Burrell and APV (both SPX Flow) for sanitary rotary lobe and centrifugal. Waukesha Cherry-Burrell and Wangen for twin screw — covering shear-sensitive product transfer and shared-duty CIP service. Graco for AODD and EODD (including the Quantm electric-drive line). Inoxpa for sanitary and specialty configurations. We carry these specific brands because they're the ones our customers are already standardized on, and because they're backed by strong domestic parts and service support.
Can you size pumps or do you just sell them?
We size them. Our application engineers specify the pump model, rotor profile, seal configuration, port type, and elastomer for every quote we issue, based on your fluid and duty point. Bring us a complete picture of your application and we'll confirm the right pump.
Do you have parts in stock?
Yes — seals, rotors, O-rings, spare-parts kits, and complete pumps for the brands we distribute. For Waukesha PD pumps specifically, registered customers can browse live on-hand inventory through our Online Pump Inventory portal.
Do you service and rebuild pumps?
Yes. We service, rebuild, and recondition the pumps we sell. For Waukesha pumps, we can arrange factory exchange programs, rotor recoating (APV R Series), and spare-rotor rotation. Contact us to discuss your service arrangement.
What industries do you focus on?
Food, beverage, dairy, confections, personal care and cosmetics, pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical processing, industrial waste, and data center cooling. If it needs to pump sanitary or industrial fluid, we've likely already specified it for someone.
How do I get a quote?
Use the Request a Quote button or call us at 847-839-8442. Bring your fluid properties, duty point, connection style, cleaning regime, and any ATEX or compliance requirements — we'll typically turn a complete quote same day.
Ready to spec a pump?

Let's size it together.

Give us your fluid, flow, pressure, temperature, and cleaning regime. A Triplex Sales application engineer will confirm the right pump family, specify the configuration, and quote it — typically same day. Four decades of experience, one phone call.
