Product Description
Wilden P1 Clamped Metal Pump for Industrial Transfer
The Wilden P1 Clamped Metal Pump is a compact 13 mm (½-inch) air-operated double-diaphragm pump designed for general industrial fluid-transfer applications. Its rugged metal construction supports dependable operation in process equipment, utility systems and portable transfer duties.
Moreover, the clamp-band design gives technicians quick access to internal components. Consequently, this compact AODD pump combines reliable performance with simple installation and efficient maintenance.
Wilden P1 Metal Pump Flow and Pressure
Maximum published flow depends on the selected diaphragm:
- Rubber: Up to 58.7 lpm
- TPE: Up to 58.3 lpm
- PTFE: Up to 54.4 lpm
In addition, maximum discharge pressure reaches 8.6 bar or 125 psi. However, actual output depends on compressed-air volume, discharge pressure, fluid viscosity, suction conditions and piping resistance.
Therefore, users should select the P1 AODD pump from the appropriate performance curve rather than relying only on the maximum flow figure.
Key Features and Benefits
The Wilden Pro-Flo metal pump provides:
- 13 mm or ½-inch liquid inlet and discharge
- ¼-inch FNPT compressed-air inlet
- Maximum flow up to 58.7 lpm
- Maximum pressure of 8.6 bar
- Solids passage up to 1.59 mm
- NPT or BSPT threaded connections
- Aluminium or stainless-steel wetted housings
- Rubber, TPE and PTFE diaphragm options
- Clamp bands for faster servicing
- Strong wet and dry suction capability
- Pro-Flo Air Distribution System
- Lube-free pneumatic operation
- Simple installation and maintenance
Together, these features make the Wilden P1 Clamped Metal Pump suitable for compact transfer, circulation, sampling and container-unloading duties.
Pro-Flo Air Distribution System
The P1 metal AODD pump uses the Pro-Flo Air Distribution System with a simplified design containing only three primary moving parts. Consequently, the pump supports dependable cycling and straightforward servicing.
Moreover, the plastic centre section operates without external airline lubrication. Therefore, facilities can reduce lubricator maintenance and avoid introducing lubricant into the compressed-air exhaust.
As a result, the Wilden P1 pump provides straightforward pneumatic operation for low-flow industrial transfer applications.
Clamped Metal Pump Maintenance
Clamp bands secure the manifolds, liquid chambers and centre section. Consequently, technicians can dismantle and reassemble the pump using a single tool.
Moreover, rapid access to diaphragms, valve balls and valve seats can reduce planned servicing time. Therefore, the Wilden P1 Clamped Metal Pump suits installations requiring frequent inspection, cleaning or component replacement.
Wilden P1 Metal Housing Options
The P1 metal pump is available with two principal wetted-housing materials:
- Aluminium: Lightweight construction for compatible general industrial liquids
- Stainless steel: Corrosion-resistant construction for many compatible chemicals and process fluids
However, neither metal suits every liquid. Therefore, users should verify the chemical composition, concentration, operating temperature and abrasiveness before selecting the pump.
Diaphragm and Elastomer Options
The P1 AODD pump supports:
- Rubber diaphragms
- TPE diaphragms
- PTFE diaphragms
Available elastomer materials may include:
- Buna-N
- EPDM
- FKM
- PTFE
- Polyurethane
- Saniflex
- Wil-Flex
Each material provides different chemical, temperature, flexibility and abrasion characteristics. Consequently, the diaphragms, valve balls, valve seats and seals should all match the transferred fluid and operating conditions.
Half-Inch Threaded Connections
The Wilden P1 Clamped Metal Pump uses ½-inch NPT or BSPT threaded inlet and discharge connections. Therefore, it can integrate with compact piping, flexible hoses and equipment skids.
In addition, threaded connections can simplify installation and disconnection. However, users should confirm the required thread standard, pressure rating and compatible sealing material before installation.
Solids Handling and Suction Lift
The Pro-Flo P1 can pass compatible solids up to 1.59 mm or 1/16 inch. As a result, it can transfer clean fluids and selected liquids containing small suspended particles.
Maximum published dry suction lift reaches:
- Rubber: Up to 5.8 metres
- TPE: Up to 5.2 metres
- PTFE: Up to 4.9 metres
Meanwhile, maximum wet suction lift reaches approximately 9.5 metres for all three diaphragm types.
However, liquid viscosity, installation elevation, inlet restrictions, compressed-air capacity and operating speed affect actual suction performance.
Wilden P1 Applications in India
The Wilden P1 Clamped Metal Pump may support industrial applications across India such as:
- Industrial dewatering
- Paint and coating transfer
- Ceramic-process liquids
- Chemical sampling
- Water-treatment chemicals
- Drum and container unloading
- Oils and lubricants
- Equipment-skid circulation
- Cleaning-fluid transfer
- General industrial processes
For example, an aluminium P1 pump may suit compatible coatings, oils and utility fluids. Alternatively, a stainless-steel configuration may support selected corrosive liquids after a complete material-compatibility review.
Moreover, its compact dimensions can make the pump suitable for portable systems and equipment skids where installation space is limited.
Selecting the Correct Wilden P1 Pump
Correct selection depends on:
- Required flow and discharge pressure
- Fluid composition and concentration
- Operating temperature
- Liquid viscosity
- Abrasiveness
- Particle size and concentration
- Aluminium or stainless-steel housing
- Diaphragm and valve materials
- NPT or BSPT thread standard
- Suction conditions
- Available compressed-air pressure and volume
Therefore, users should configure the Wilden P1 Clamped Metal Pump around the complete hydraulic and process duty.
Otherwise, incompatible materials may cause premature wear. Similarly, insufficient compressed-air capacity or unsuitable suction conditions may reduce output, efficiency and component life.
Why Choose the Wilden Pro-Flo P1?
The Wilden Pro-Flo P1 combines durable metal construction with rapid clamp-band servicing and dependable lube-free pneumatic operation.
Moreover, its compact size, strong suction capability and multiple diaphragm options support varied low-flow industrial requirements. Consequently, this half-inch AODD pump provides a practical solution for facilities across India requiring reliable fluid transfer and straightforward maintenance.
