The Wilden 3” air diaphragm pump is a positive displacement pump that uses a combination of reciprocating action and either a flapper valve or a ball valve to transfer liquids. This pump is sometimes referred to as a membrane pump.
What are Wilden pumps used for?
Wilden® offers the Pro-Flo® and Pro-Flo® SHIFT Series air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps for use in the dosing and transfer of thin to viscous, clean to particulate-laden fluids in the general industry, oil and gas, chemical processing, food and beverage, military and marine, and water/wastewater markets.
What is an Aodd pump?
Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm (AODD) pumps are classified as reciprocating, positive-displacement-style pumps. They operate by displacing fluid from one of its two liquid chambers upon each stroke completion. The diaphragms act as a separation membrane between the compressed air supply and the liquid.
What is an ARO pump?
ARO Pro Series air operated diaphragm pumps are ideal for general industrial and OEM installation applications. They can easily pump from clean, light viscosity fluids to corrosive, abrasive medium viscosity fluids and can transfer large particles without damage.
How do you prime a Wilden pump?
Slow the pump down to prime. To solve this priming issue in a matter of seconds, slow down the pump by using the air regulator to decrease the air pressure entering the air valve.
Do diaphragm pumps need lubrication?
Air operated diaphragm pumps are rugged, lube-free, non-stall/freeze pumps that provide the high quality, trouble-free, continuous output—even under the toughest conditions.
