Who is Versa-Matic and what does it make?
Versa-Matic is an American manufacturer of air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps, founded in 1983 as Versa-Matic Tool Incorporated and moved into diaphragm pumps in 1985. Its headquarters is in Mansfield, Ohio, where production has been carried out since 2009.
The range covers AODD pumps from ¼″ to 3″, with plastic or metal bodies, in bolted or clamped designs. Declared maximum flows rise from 4 gpm (15 l/min) at ¼″ to 280 gpm (1060 l/min) at 3″. There are FDA and hygienic variants, flap-valve pumps for large solids (RockStar), the 1″ Valor pump with adjustable flow up to 63 gpm, PortaPump (1½″) and SludgeMaster (3″) centrifugal pumps, and ATEX designs for some sizes.
Air-operated diaphragm pumps are the classic choice for transferring aggressive, abrasive or solids-laden liquids, for emptying drums and for feeding filter presses, because they run on compressed air, can run dry and have no shaft seal. In Romania, Versa-Matic may appear as an original part on imported installations; on replacement, the size, the body material and the diaphragm material decide.

How do we supply Versa-Matic in Romania?
We can quote Versa-Matic pumps, diaphragms, balls, valve seats and repair kits for pumps already installed. We bring them in to order, by import or through EU channels, usually in 1–4 weeks; for special designs (ATEX, FDA, PVDF) the lead time may be longer. For a quotation we need the size (for example 1″ or 2″), the body and diaphragm material, the liquid and its temperature, the flow rate required, the available air pressure and, for replacements, the pump nameplate.
We choose the diaphragm material for a specific liquid on the basis of the product's complete chemical data.
Frequently asked questions about Versa-Matic
What products does Versa-Matic make?
Air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps from ¼″ to 3″, with plastic or metal bodies, plus flap-valve pumps for large solids (RockStar), PortaPump and SludgeMaster centrifugal pumps and FDA and hygienic variants.
How do I choose the size of an AODD pump?
Start from the flow rate required and the liquid. Maximum flows range from 4 gpm (¼″) to 280 gpm (3″), and the body and diaphragm material is chosen by chemical compatibility, temperature and the presence of solids.
Can you supply Versa-Matic products in Romania, and in what lead time?
Yes, Versa-Matic pumps are brought in to order, from the USA or the EU. ATEX, FDA or PVDF designs may need a longer lead time, confirmed in the quotation.
Can I replace a diaphragm pump of another brand with a Versa-Matic?
We can check whether the dimensions and connections match, based on the nameplate of the existing pump, the connections and the position of the feet. Compatibility is confirmed only after this check.
What data do you need for an AODD pump quotation?
The size or flow rate wanted, the liquid and temperature, the body and diaphragm material, the connection type (flanges, thread), the available air pressure and any ATEX or FDA requirement.
How do I request a Versa-Matic quotation?
Send the Versa-Matic code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
