Energy savings
09 December 2013
Air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pump technology manufacturer Wilden, has introduced a new Pro-Flo SHIFT Air Distribution System (ADS) for use in Advanced Series bolted and Original Series clamped AODD pumps.
The Pro-Flo SHIFT ADS is said to represent a significant breakthrough in energy efficiency within the AODD pump category as plants continue to look for ways to reduce air consumption and reduce their carbon footprints.
Wilden says that the Pro-Flo SHIFT ADS allows its AODD pumps to achieve up to a 60% savings in air consumption over competitive AODD pump technologies, while providing greater product yield per standard cubic foot per minute.
The Wilden Pro-Flo SHIFT is available in 38, 51 and 76mm sizes and features maximum discharge pressures to 8.6 bar, maximum flows to 923 l/pm and maximum solid-handling size to 13mm. The Pro-Flo SHIFT is available with maximum suction lifts to 7.2m dry and 9.6m wet.
