Wilden air-operated diaphragm pumps: reliable solutions for industrial fluid transfer

Wilden Pneumatic Diaphragm Pump: A Reliable Solution for Industrial Fluid Transportation

In modern industrial production, the choice of fluid conveying equipment directly affects 

production efficiency and safety. As an efficient and versatile conveyor, Wilden pneumatic 

diaphragm pump has become the first choice for many industries with its unique design and 

excellent performance. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the working principle,

technical characteristics and practical application value of Wilden pneumatic diaphragm pump.


1. Working principle: simple and efficient

The Wilden pneumatic diaphragm pump uses compressed air as the power source and realizes 

synchronous reciprocating movement of the double diaphragm through the air valve guide 

mechanism. When one side of the diaphragm cavity forms a negative pressure to inhale the 

fluid, the other side of the cavity discharges the fluid with a positive pressure, forming a continuous 

and stable delivery process. This clever design does not require a mechanical seal structure, fundamentally eliminating the risk of leakage.


2. Core technology advantages

Excellent safety


Fully pneumatic operation, no motor explosion-proof requirements, suitable for flammable and explosive environments


Sealed-free design eliminates leakage and ensures the safe delivery of toxic and harmful media


Dry running without damage, has self-priming ability (maximum suction range can reach 7 meters)


Excellent adaptability


Convey high viscosity fluids with viscosity up to 100,000cP


Treat slurry media containing solid particles (maximum particle size up to 50mm)


Corrosion-resistant materials selection: aluminum alloy, stainless steel, polypropylene, Hastelloy, etc.


Intelligent control features


Stepless flow regulation (0-1000L/min)


Automatic outlet pressure adapts to system resistance (up to 8.4 bar)


Self-drainage design to prevent low-temperature freezing


3. Highlights of innovative technologies

The latest generation of Wilden diaphragm pumps integrates multiple technological innovations:


Double-sided PTFE coating diaphragm: extends service life to 3 times that of traditional diaphragm


Integrated pulse buffer: reduces fluid pulse amplitude by 70%


Intelligent air valve system: energy consumption is reduced by 25%, response speed is increased by 40%.


4. Practical application performance

In the chemical field, a paint company uses WD series pumps to transport pigment slurry with a solid content of 50%, achieving:


Transportation efficiency increased by 35%


Reduce maintenance costs by 60%


The continuous operation time of the equipment exceeds 8000 hours


In mining application scenarios, Wilden pumps show amazing reliability in the slurry conveying process:


Successfully processed grinding slurry with 75% solids content


Average failure-free time is up to 12,000 operating hours


Spare parts replacement time shall not exceed 30 minutes


V. Selection Guide

When choosing a suitable diaphragm pump, the following parameters must be considered:


Fluid characteristics: viscosity, specific gravity, solid content, corrosion


Process requirements: flow range, pressure requirement, suction height


Environmental conditions: explosion-proof level, temperature range, installation space


Special requirements: sanitary grade, anti-static requirements, sterile operation


6. Maintenance suggestions

To ensure the long-term and stable operation of the equipment, it is recommended:


Check the status of the diaphragm and ball valve every 500 hours


Use a supporting filter to protect the pump body (recommended to be more than 100 mesh)


Regularly clean the gas circuit filter device


Store spare diaphragm assembly for emergency needs


Conclusion

Wilden pneumatic diaphragm pumps redefine the reliability standards for industrial fluid delivery

 with their revolutionary design philosophy and excellent performance. Whether it is a demanding

 chemical environment or complex mining applications, it can provide safe and efficient solutions. 

With the deepening of intelligent manufacturing, this classic product will continue to play an important 

role in the era of Industry 4.0 and create greater value for various industries.


Choosing Wilden is not only about choosing a pump, but also about a reliable production guarantee

 and sustainable development concept.
