Wilden has designed its Advanced Metal Series T1510 Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm Pumps — also known as the Brahma — for the harshest solid-handling applications.

T1510 Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm Pumps Are Ideal for Harsh Solid-Handling Applications

Wilden

The T1510 is a 76mm (3”) flap-valve pump that offers rugged design and enhanced durability for even the most extreme operating environments. Its Advanced bolted construction provides total product containment and is completely submersible. Clogging is eliminated through the pump’s large internal clearances and top-suction/bottom-discharge operation. This allows for flow rates up to 977 lpm (258 gpm) and maximum pressures to 8.6 bar (125 psig) with a maximum dry-suction lift capability up to 7.4m (24.4 feet).

These pumps also benefit from Wilden’s Turbo-Flo Air Distribution System (ADS) technology that operates on differential pressure only. This means that there are no mechanical trip rods, bearings or springs that can wear. The air-valve piston within the air-valve body routes the air supply to one of two air chambers. As the air chamber fills, the diaphragm is displaced, pulling the connecting shaft and opposite diaphragm toward the center block. This results in maximized pump reliability and efficiency.
