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.

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.
