Wilden Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pump, Max Flow Rate: 500 LPM

Product Details

Wilden AODD pumps set the industry standard for chemical-processing applications thanks to their ability to provide the highest level of product containment while offering state-of-the-art technological advancements in air distribution systems (ADS) and diaphragm technologies.A Wilden Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm (AODD) pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses compressed air to move fluid. Manufactured by Wilden, a leading brand in the fluid management industry, these pumps are a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of applications.Advantages   Wilden AODD pumps are a popular choice due to a number of significant advantages that make them highly versatile and reliable. Versatility: They can handle a vast range of fluids, from thin, watery liquids to highly viscous, abrasive slurries with large solids. This versatility reduces the need for multiple pump types in a single facility. Run-Dry Capability: A major benefit of AODD pumps is that they can run dry indefinitely without causing damage. This eliminates the risk of pump failure if the fluid supply is interrupted and reduces the need for constant monitoring. Sealless Design: Wilden pumps have no dynamic seals, which are a common point of leakage and maintenance in other pump types. This sealless design ensures superior containment of hazardous or expensive fluids, improving safety and reducing environmental risk. Shear Sensitivity: The gentle, non-agitating pumping action is ideal for handling shear-sensitive fluids that can be damaged by the high shear forces of other pump technologies.  Explosion-Proof and Portable: As they are air-operated, Wilden pumps are inherently explosion-proof and can be used in flammable or hazardous environments without the need for specialized electrical components. Their compact and lightweight design also makes them highly portable. Variable Flow and Pressure: The flow rate and discharge pressure can be easily and precisely controlled by simply adjusting the air inlet pressure. This provides on-demand performance without the need for complex control systems or variable speed drives. Stall-Proof: If the pump's discharge line is blocked, the pump will simply stall or "deadhead" without damage. This prevents over-pressurization and eliminates the need for expensive bypass lines or relief valves. Low Maintenance and Easy to Service: The simple, modular design of Wilden pumps makes them easy to disassemble and service. Diaphragm replacement is a straightforward process, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
