Product Description
Wilden P1500 Bolted Plastic Pump
The Wilden P1500 Bolted Plastic Pump is a 76 mm (3-inch) air-operated double-diaphragm pump designed for high-capacity chemical transfer. Its corrosion-resistant thermoplastic construction makes it suitable for compatible acids, caustics and other aggressive industrial liquids.
Moreover, secure bolted liquid chambers improve product containment. The redesigned liquid path also reduces internal friction, supporting increased output, efficient fluid movement and longer diaphragm life.
P1500 AODD Pump Performance
Maximum published flow depends on the selected PTFE diaphragm:
- Full-Stroke PTFE: Up to 878 lpm
- Reduced-Stroke PTFE: Up to 784 lpm
Additionally, the Full-Stroke PTFE configuration displaces approximately 5.8 litres per stroke. In contrast, the Reduced-Stroke PTFE arrangement displaces approximately 3.75 litres per stroke.
Therefore, the full-stroke diaphragm suits duties prioritising higher flow. Alternatively, the reduced-stroke configuration may be selected where its operating characteristics better match the chemical-transfer application.
Key Features and Benefits
The Wilden Pro-Flo bolted plastic pump provides:
- 76 mm or 3-inch liquid inlet and discharge
- 3/4-inch FNPT compressed-air inlet
- Maximum flow up to 878 lpm
- Maximum pressure up to 8.6 bar
- Solids passage up to 12.7 mm
- DIN or ANSI flanged connections
- Pro-Flo Air Distribution System
- Lube-free pneumatic operation
- Polypropylene or PVDF wetted housings
- Full-Stroke and Reduced-Stroke PTFE diaphragms
- Strong suction-lift capability
- Secure bolted construction
- Simplified servicing
- Long mean time between repairs
Together, these features make the Wilden P1500 Bolted Plastic Pump suitable for demanding chemical, process and industrial fluid-transfer systems.
Pro-Flo Air Distribution System
The P1500 chemical pump uses the Pro-Flo Air Distribution System, which has a simplified design with only three moving parts. Consequently, the air system supports dependable switching while simplifying troubleshooting and repair.
Moreover, the plastic centre block operates without external lubrication. Therefore, operators avoid routine airline lubrication and the contamination or maintenance issues it may create.
The mechanically actuated design also contains no electronic operating components. As a result, the Pro-Flo system provides straightforward pneumatic operation across varied industrial environments.
Polypropylene and PVDF Construction
The Wilden P1500 Bolted Plastic Pump is available with polypropylene or PVDF wetted housings.
Polypropylene configurations have a maximum published pressure of 6.9 bar or 100 psi. Meanwhile, PVDF configurations reach up to 8.6 bar or 125 psi.
Therefore, material selection must consider both chemical compatibility and required discharge pressure. PVDF may provide improved resistance to selected aggressive chemicals. However, users must verify the exact chemical concentration, temperature and operating conditions before final selection.
PTFE Diaphragm and Elastomer Options
PTFE diaphragms provide broad chemical resistance for compatible acids, caustics, solvents and other challenging liquids. The P1500 pump supports both Full-Stroke and Reduced-Stroke PTFE arrangements.
Additional available elastomer materials include:
- EPDM
- Neoprene
- Saniflex
- Wil-Flex
However, these elastomers have different chemical and temperature limits. Therefore, the diaphragm, backup diaphragm, valve balls and sealing materials must suit the complete application.
PVDF should be specified as a pump-housing material rather than as an elastomer.
Three-Inch Flanged Connections
The Wilden P1500 chemical-transfer pump uses 3-inch DIN or ANSI flanged liquid connections. Consequently, it can integrate with larger industrial pipelines and high-capacity fluid-transfer systems.
Moreover, flanged connections provide secure attachment for heavy process piping. However, users should confirm the flange standard, pressure class, gasket material and piping loads before installation.
Solids Handling and Suction Lift
The Wilden P1500 Bolted Plastic Pump can pass solids measuring up to 12.7 mm or ½ inch. Therefore, it may transfer compatible fluids containing suspended particles.
Published suction performance includes:
- Full-Stroke PTFE: 5.5 metres dry and 8.6 metres wet
- Reduced-Stroke PTFE: 3.63 metres dry and 8.6 metres wet
However, viscosity, pipe length, elevation, air pressure and compressed-air volume affect actual suction performance. Consequently, users should evaluate the complete inlet arrangement during pump selection.
Wilden P1500 Applications in India
The bolted plastic AODD pump may support applications across India such as:
- Chemical processing
- Acid and caustic transfer
- Water and wastewater treatment
- Mining and mineral processing
- Paints and coatings
- Oil and gas support duties
- Tank and tanker unloading
- Industrial scrubber systems
- Adhesives and sealants
- Corrosive wastewater transfer
- Fluids containing suspended solids
- General industrial process transfer
For example, a polypropylene P1500 pump may suit compatible general chemical duties. Alternatively, a PVDF configuration may support more aggressive liquids after a complete material-compatibility review.
Selecting the Correct P1500 Pump
Correct pump selection depends on:
- Required flow and discharge pressure
- Chemical name and concentration
- Liquid temperature
- Fluid viscosity
- Solids size and concentration
- Polypropylene or PVDF housing
- Diaphragm and valve materials
- Available compressed-air pressure and volume
- Suction conditions
- DIN or ANSI flange requirements
Therefore, users should configure the Wilden P1500 Bolted Plastic Pump around the complete hydraulic and chemical duty.
Otherwise, incompatible materials, unsuitable elastomers or inadequate compressed-air capacity may reduce flow, containment reliability and component life.
