Wilden, the worldwide leader in air-operated double-diaphragm pump technology and an operating company within Dover Corporation’s Pump Solutions Group, announced that its Original Series AODD metal pumps have several designed in features making them the top solutions for sump-pump applications within the mining industry.

The Original Series have unique characteristics that are essential to mining operations allowing them to operate in the harshest environments. The intrinsically safe and air operation of the Original Series, along with the anti-freezing technology provide mine operators with peace-of-mind. The Original Series’ self-priming and run-dry capabilities, combined with the lube-free operation, provide ease of operation, maintenance savings and the maximum mean time between repairs. The Original Series is available in aluminum, ductile-iron or stainless-steel construction, with flow rates from 62.8 to 1,222 lpm (16.6 to 320 gpm) and operating pressures to 8.6 bar (125 psi).

The Original Series pumps feature Wilden’s patent-pending Pro-Flo X air distribution system (ADS), which offers mine applications operational flexibility. This flexibility is accomplished by the state-of-the-art Efficiency Management System (EMS), which optimizes the Pro-Flo X ADS for the actual operation parameters regardless of the application demands or pump size. The EMS allows the operator to use an integrated control dial to select the efficiency point and flow rate that best suits the application. The Pro-Flo X with EMS provides mines with the most efficient sump-pump solutions available.
