Product Description
Wilden P8 Clamped Plastic Pump for Chemical Transfer
The Wilden P8 Clamped Plastic Pump is a 51 mm (2-inch) air-operated double-diaphragm pump designed for chemical transfer and demanding industrial applications. Its polypropylene wetted housing provides corrosion resistance for many compatible process liquids.
Moreover, the clamp-band construction allows technicians to access internal components quickly. Consequently, this plastic AODD pump combines dependable performance with simple installation and efficient maintenance.
Wilden P8 Pump Flow and Pressure
Maximum published flow depends on the selected diaphragm configuration:
- Rubber: Up to 591 lpm
- TPE: Up to 583 lpm
- Full-Stroke PTFE: Up to 562 lpm
- Reduced-Stroke PTFE: Up to 481 lpm
- Ultra-Flex: Up to 560 lpm
Maximum discharge pressure reaches 8.6 bar or 125 psi. However, actual output depends on available air volume, discharge pressure, liquid viscosity and overall system resistance.
Therefore, users should select the P8 diaphragm pump from its model-specific performance curve rather than relying only on the maximum flow figure.
Key Features and Benefits
The Wilden Pro-Flo plastic pump provides:
- 51 mm or 2-inch liquid inlet and discharge
- ½-inch FNPT compressed-air inlet
- Maximum flow up to 591 lpm
- Maximum pressure of 8.6 bar
- Solids passage up to 6.35 mm
- DIN or ANSI flanged connections

Together, these features make the Wilden P8 Clamped Plastic Pump suitable for transfer, unloading, circulation and compatible fluids containing suspended particles.
Pro-Flo Clamped Plastic Pump Design
The P8 chemical pump uses clamp bands to secure the liquid chambers, manifolds and centre section. Consequently, technicians can dismantle and reassemble the pump using a single tool.
Moreover, quick access to diaphragms, valve balls and valve seats can reduce planned servicing time. Therefore, the clamped plastic pump suits facilities where regular inspection, cleaning and straightforward maintenance are important.
However, clamped construction should be selected according to the chemical risk and containment requirements of the installation.
Polypropylene Chemical Pump Construction
The Wilden P8 Clamped Plastic Pump uses polypropylene as its wetted housing material.
Polypropylene is compatible with many acids, alkalis, treatment chemicals and industrial cleaning liquids. In addition, thermoplastic construction reduces pump weight compared with many metal alternatives.
However, polypropylene is not suitable for every chemical. Therefore, users must verify the precise liquid concentration, operating temperature and complete chemical composition before ordering the pump.
P8 Diaphragm and Elastomer Options
The P8 plastic diaphragm pump supports:
- Rubber diaphragms
- TPE diaphragms
- Full-Stroke PTFE diaphragms
- Reduced-Stroke PTFE diaphragms
- Ultra-Flex 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.
For example, PTFE may suit many compatible aggressive chemicals. Alternatively, rubber or TPE may provide greater flexibility or abrasion resistance for other fluids.
Two-Inch Flanged Connections
The Wilden P8 Clamped Plastic Pump uses 2-inch DIN or ANSI flanged inlet and discharge connections.
Moreover, both manifolds are rotatable. Therefore, installers can adjust the connection positions to suit the available process pipework and installation layout.
Flanged connections also provide secure integration with industrial pipelines. However, users should verify the flange standard, pressure rating, gasket material and piping arrangement before ordering.
Solids Handling and Suction Performance
The P8 AODD pump can pass compatible solids up to 6.35 mm or ¼ inch. As a result, it may handle selected liquids containing suspended particles.
Nevertheless, particle concentration, shape and abrasiveness can affect valve, seat and diaphragm life. Therefore, solids-containing applications require a detailed review.
Maximum published dry suction lift varies by diaphragm:
- Rubber: Up to 7.4 metres
- TPE: Up to 5.9 metres
- Full-Stroke PTFE: Up to 6.4 metres
- Reduced-Stroke PTFE: Up to 4.27 metres
- Ultra-Flex: Up to 4.88 metres
Meanwhile, wet suction lift reaches approximately 8.6 to 9.45 metres.
However, actual suction performance also depends on liquid viscosity, elevation, inlet-pipe resistance, air pressure and operating speed.
Wilden P8 Applications in India
The Wilden P8 Clamped Plastic Pump may support applications across India such as:
- Chemical processing
- Acid and alkaline transfer
- Water and wastewater treatment
- Paint and coating production
- Tank and container unloading
- Industrial cleaning systems
- Adhesives and sealants
- Corrosive wastewater transfer
- Ceramic processing
- Mining support duties
- Filtration circulation
- General industrial fluid transfer
For example, the polypropylene P8 pump may transfer compatible water-treatment chemicals. Similarly, it may circulate suitable process liquids in systems requiring regular disassembly and cleaning.
Moreover, operators can regulate the transfer rate by adjusting the compressed-air supply.
Selecting the Correct Wilden P8 Pump
Correct selection depends on:
- Required flow and discharge pressure
- Chemical name and concentration
- Operating temperature
- Liquid viscosity
- Solids size and concentration
- Diaphragm and valve materials
- DIN or ANSI flange standard
- Suction conditions
- Available compressed-air pressure and volume
- Required maintenance frequency
Therefore, users should configure the Wilden P8 Clamped Plastic Pump around the complete hydraulic and chemical duty.
Otherwise, incompatible materials may cause premature wear. Similarly, insufficient compressed-air volume or unsuitable suction conditions may reduce flow, efficiency and component life.
