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.

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. Since its invention 65 years ago, air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump technology has been a loyal soldier in the constant battle to deliver reliable, durable, safe, cost-effective and efficient performance in utilitarian pumping applications, from dewatering mines to producing pharmaceuticals. The plug-and-play reliability of AODD pumps has helped them earn a “set it and forget it” reputation among its many devoted users.

Wilden®, part of PSG®, a Dover company, and a worldwide leader in specialty pumps, is pleased to announce that its Chem-Fuse Integral Piston Diaphragm (IPD) product line is now available in a non-food-grade Saniflex™ (Hytrel®) option for its Pro-Flo® SHIFT and Pro-Flo® Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm (AODD) Metal and Plastic Pump models.
