Food and beverage operations are responsible for ensuring products are safe for human consumption. However, these operations are faced with numerous challenges, including product recalls and loss from contamination, labor shortages and an ever-increasing demand for sustainable operations. In this blog, we explore what makes the energy-efficient and simple to operate Wilden® Saniflo™ Hygienic™ Series Pump the solution to these unique challenges.

Corrugated boxes are essential for delivering packages across the world. However, the sturdiness of these corrugated boxes depends heavily on adhesive glue. This glue's thick and sticky nature can cause multiple problems for pumps, including internal damage and leaks that can lead to loss of product, costly cleanup and increased safety risks. Read this blog to learn how Wilden pump technology provides the ideal solution for challenging glue applications!

With the sustainable-manufacturing movement in full swing, adopting reliable, energy-efficient pumping technology, like the Wilden® Pro-Flo® SHIFT Air Distribution System (ADS), can help your operation reduce energy consumption, optimize operational costs and be eligible to receive monetary refunds from energy suppliers.

When Dunn-Edwards, the nation’s largest architectural paints and coatings manufacturer, began experiencing a shortened diaphragm lifespan in its AODD pumps that were tasked with handling latex, they switched to Wilden Chem-Fuse Integral Piston Diaphragm (IPD) models. What were the results? Read this blog post to find out.

Do you want to optimize the performance of your Wilden® air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps? Read our latest blog to learn how understanding performance curves – identifying operating range, performance, and air consumption – can improve your operation.

Wilden®, a brand of PSG®, a Dover company, and a worldwide leader in specialty pumps, has extended its line of metal Equalizer® Surge Dampeners – Integrated SD Series (ISD) with the addition of a new 76 mm (3”) model. Designed to integrate directly into the manifold of a Wilden metal air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump, ISD Series dampeners reduce fluid pressure and flow fluctuations inherent in AODD pumps, providing a smoother discharge flow and maximum process fluid containment.

Success for industrial operations around the world can be measured in a number of different ways. Almost always, they can be grouped into one of three categories: Keeping operating costs low, keeping customers happy and keeping employees safe. Happy customers and safe employees are typically easy to identify and measure for most industrial plants. However, operating costs tend to have hidden components that are not so easy to spot.

Since Wilden invented the air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump in 1955, many competitors have attempted to capitalize on our reputation and long history of AODD pump innovation. Unfortunately, this has created a serious problem for operators – pirated components and parts. In this blog post, we take a look at the telltale signs of pirated AODD components and discuss how using parts masquerading as genuine Wilden can compromise your AODD pump performance and safety.

Did you know that when Wilden Pure-Fuse Integral Piston Diaphragms (IPDs) are combined with the capabilities of Wilden Saniflo™ Hygienic™ Series Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm (AODD) Pumps you get a solution that improves overall cleanability, extends uptime, provides superior product containment, enhances operational efficiency, and simplifies cleaning and maintenance? See how by reading our latest blog post.

In this blog, we discuss the numerous design features and benefits that make Wilden air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps – specifically the Saniflo™ Hygienic™ Series – the ideal solution for the manufacture of hygienic or sanitary products.

When looking to run an efficient and trouble-free operation, air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump users need to keep in mind the following challenging pump conditions: liquid pulsation, water hammer and piping noise. Luckily, the solution to these challenges can be found in the Wilden Equalizer® Series Integral Surge Dampener (ISD).

Thousands of paint & coatings manufacturers across the globe choose to install air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) technology to help them meet growing demands while controlling costs, optimizing uptime performance, and complying with environmental requirements. Why AODD? Perhaps it has something to do with an AODD pump’s ability to offer the highest levels of flexibility and performance in terms of reliability, product-loss prevention, environmental protection and energy efficiency.

When Jim Wilden invented air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump technology in 1955, there was only one diaphragm material option. Flash forward to today, and the Wilden menu of diaphragm designs and materials of construction has expanded to the point where there are options that can be dialed in for use in even the most specific or unique liquid-handling applications. So, how much has our offering of AODD diaphragm designs and materials expanded in the past 65+ years? Find out by reading our latest blog.

It’s a fact of life in any industry that technologies will evolve over time. So it is with the diaphragms that are an integral component in – and actually give the name to – Wilden® Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm (AODD) pumps.

Next-generation diaphragms have been designed to meet the pumping challenges inherent in the sticky and viscous materials that are the foundation of adhesive and coating manufacturing.

Innovative remote diagnostic performance-monitoring technology gives real-time visibility into AODD pump functionality to prevent costly failures and breakdowns.
