Wilden Advanced PV810 And PV1510 Pumps Excel In Solid-Particle Handling In The Mining Industry
Wilden, the worldwide leader in air-operated double-diaphragm pump technology and an operating company within Dover Corporation’s Pump Solutions Group (PSG), announced that its PV810 and PV1510 Advanced Metal air-operated double-diaphragm pumps feature the design parameters necessary for pumping the larger solids that are found in the mining industry.
Wilden PV1510
The PV810 is a 51mm (2”) pump, while the configuration of the PV1510 is 76mm (3”). What sets these pumps apart from competitive models is the presence of flap-valve technology, rather than the more traditional ball-valve technology, which allows odd-shaped large solids to pass through the wetted path. The PV810 and PV1510 pumps also have a bolted configuration, which ensures total product containment, while a redesigned liquid path reduces internal friction to maximize output and efficiency.
The PV810 and PV1510 Advanced Series pumps feature Wilden’s patent-pending Pro-Flo V air distribution system (ADS) that greatly improves the performance characteristics of air-operated, double-diaphragm pumps. This air distribution system incorporates three moving parts: The unbalanced air valve spool, the pilot spool, and the main shaft/diaphragm assembly. The Pro-Flo V ADS results in maximum reliability, lower operational costs and superior flow rates.
About Wilden
Jim Wilden, founder of Wilden Pump and Engineering Co., revolutionized the pumping industry when he invented the air-operated double-diaphragm pump in 1955. Since then, Wilden has created a line of distinctive pumps that have proven to be trustworthy solutions to pumping applications in a wide variety of industries. Wilden—headquartered in Grand Terrace, California, USA—is a member of Dover Corporation’s Pump Solutions Group (PSG).
