Product Description
Wilden P1 Clamped Plastic Pump for Chemical Transfer
The Wilden P1 Clamped Plastic Pump is a compact 13 mm (½-inch) air-operated double-diaphragm pump designed for chemical transfer and demanding industrial duties. Its polypropylene or PVDF wetted housing provides corrosion resistance for many compatible process liquids.
Moreover, the clamp-band construction gives technicians quick access to internal components. Consequently, this compact plastic AODD pump combines dependable operation with simple installation and efficient maintenance.
Wilden P1 Pump Flow and Pressure
Maximum published flow depends on the selected diaphragm:
- Rubber: Up to 56 lpm
- TPE: Up to 56.8 lpm
- PTFE: Up to 53.4 lpm
Maximum discharge pressure reaches 8.6 bar or 125 psi.
However, actual output depends on available compressed-air volume, liquid viscosity, discharge pressure, suction conditions and piping resistance. Therefore, users should select the P1 diaphragm pump from its performance curve rather than relying only on the maximum flow figure.
Key Features and Benefits
The Wilden Pro-Flo plastic pump provides:
- 13 mm or ½-inch liquid inlet and discharge
- ¼-inch FNPT compressed-air inlet
- Maximum flow up to 56.8 lpm
- Maximum pressure of 8.6 bar
- Solids passage up to 1.6 mm
- NPT or BSPT threaded connections
- Polypropylene or PVDF wetted housings
- Rotatable inlet and discharge
- Rubber, TPE and PTFE diaphragm options
- Clamp bands for faster servicing
- Strong wet and dry suction capability
- Lube-free pneumatic operation
- Simple installation and maintenance
Together, these features make the Wilden P1 Clamped Plastic Pump suitable for compact transfer, circulation, sampling and container-unloading systems.
Pro-Flo Clamped Plastic Pump Design
The P1 chemical pump uses clamp bands to secure the manifolds, liquid chambers and centre section. Consequently, technicians can dismantle and reassemble the pump using a single tool.
Moreover, rapid access to the diaphragms, valve balls and valve seats can reduce planned servicing time. Therefore, the clamped plastic pump suits facilities requiring regular inspection, cleaning or component replacement.
However, users should assess clamped construction according to the chemical risk, containment requirements and expected maintenance frequency.
Polypropylene and PVDF Construction
The Wilden P1 Clamped Plastic Pump is available with polypropylene or PVDF wetted housings.
Polypropylene suits many compatible acids, alkalis, water-treatment chemicals and industrial cleaning liquids. Alternatively, PVDF provides different chemical and temperature resistance for selected aggressive fluids.
However, neither material is compatible with every liquid. Therefore, users must verify the exact chemical concentration, operating temperature and complete fluid composition before selecting the P1 pump.
Diaphragm and Elastomer Options
The P1 plastic diaphragm pump supports:
- Rubber diaphragms
- TPE diaphragms
- PTFE diaphragms
Available elastomer materials may include:
- Buna-N
- EPDM
- FKM
- Neoprene
- PTFE
- Polyurethane
- Saniflex
- Wil-Flex
Each material provides different chemical, temperature, flexibility and abrasion resistance. Consequently, the diaphragms, valve balls, valve seats and seals should all match the transferred liquid and operating conditions.
Threaded P1 Pump Connections
The Wilden P1 Clamped Plastic Pump uses ½-inch NPT or BSPT threaded inlet and discharge connections.
Moreover, both connections are rotatable. Therefore, installers can adjust the inlet and discharge positions to suit compact pipework, flexible hoses or equipment skids.
However, users should confirm the required thread standard, sealing method and compatible thread-seal material before installation.
Solids Handling and Suction Performance
The P1 AODD pump can pass compatible solids up to 1.6 mm or 1/16 inch. As a result, it may handle clean liquids and fluids containing limited small particles.
Maximum published dry suction lift reaches:
- Rubber: Up to 6.1 metres
- TPE: Up to 5.8 metres
- PTFE: Up to 5.18 metres
Meanwhile, wet suction lift reaches approximately 9.5 metres with rubber and 9.8 metres with TPE or PTFE.
However, liquid viscosity, installation elevation, inlet restrictions, air pressure and operating speed affect actual suction performance.
Wilden P1 Applications in India
The Wilden P1 Clamped Plastic Pump may support low-flow applications across India such as:
- Chemical sampling and transfer
- Acid and alkaline handling
- Water-treatment chemicals
- Drum and container unloading
- Cleaning-chemical transfer
- Ink and coating circulation
- Small filtration systems
- Laboratory and pilot equipment
- Equipment skids
- Corrosive wastewater transfer
- Industrial dosing-system circulation
- General low-flow processes
For example, a polypropylene P1 pump may suit compatible general chemicals. Alternatively, a PVDF configuration may support selected aggressive liquids after a complete material-compatibility review.
Moreover, operators can regulate the transfer rate by adjusting the compressed-air supply.
Selecting the Correct Wilden P1 Pump
Correct selection depends on:
- Required flow and discharge pressure
- Chemical name and concentration
- Operating temperature
- Liquid viscosity
- Particle size and concentration
- Polypropylene or PVDF housing
- Diaphragm and valve materials
- NPT or BSPT thread standard
- Suction conditions
- Available compressed-air pressure and volume
- Required maintenance frequency
Therefore, users should configure the Wilden P1 Clamped Plastic Pump around the complete hydraulic and chemical duty.
Otherwise, incompatible materials may cause premature wear. Similarly, insufficient compressed-air capacity or unsuitable suction conditions may reduce flow, efficiency and component life.
