Product Description

Wilden PS15 Clamped Metal Pump for Hygienic Processing

The Wilden PS15 Clamped Metal Pump is a 76 mm (3-inch) air-operated double-diaphragm pump developed for hygienic food, beverage, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical applications.

Its free-draining liquid path supports clean-in-place procedures while reducing areas where product residue may collect. Therefore, this hygienic AODD pump can help facilities maintain product quality, improve cleaning efficiency and reduce cross-contamination risks.

PS15 Hygienic AODD Pump Design

The Wilden PS15 hygienic pump uses a sanitary flow-through design that allows the wetted path to drain efficiently.

Consequently, operators can clean the pump without dismantling the complete wetted assembly after every production cycle. Moreover, its clamped construction allows technicians to access internal components quickly during inspection, cleaning or maintenance.

Key Features and Benefits

The Wilden PS15 Clamped Metal Pump provides:

  • 76 mm or 3-inch liquid inlet and discharge
  • 3/4-inch FNPT compressed-air inlet
  • Maximum flow up to 844 lpm
  • Maximum discharge pressure of 8.6 bar
  • Clean-in-place capability
  • Free-draining hygienic liquid path
  • Tri-Clamp, DIN and SMS connections
  • Ball, mushroom and flap valve options
  • Pro-Flo SHIFT air distribution system
  • Permanent or rotatable cleaning stand
  • Multiple diaphragm materials
  • Large-solids passage with flap valves
  • 3-A, CE and ATEX options
  • EC 1935/2004-compliant configurations
  • FDA CFR 21.177-compliant options
  • USP Class VI availability with qualifying PTFE elastomers

Together, these features make the PS15 sanitary diaphragm pump suitable for sensitive processes requiring hygienic construction, efficient product transfer and straightforward cleaning.

Wilden Saniflo PS15 Flow Performance

Maximum flow varies according to the selected diaphragm:

  • EZ-Install TPE: Up to 844 lpm
  • Rubber: Up to 844 lpm
  • Full-Stroke Integral Piston: Up to 802 lpm
  • Full-Stroke PTFE: Up to 749 lpm
  • PTFE Integral Piston: Up to 742 lpm

Maximum discharge pressure reaches 8.6 bar or 125 psi. Therefore, users should select the Wilden Saniflo PS15 according to both the required flow and the approved elastomer for the transferred product.

Pro-Flo SHIFT Hygienic Pump Technology

The hygienic AODD pump includes Wilden’s Pro-Flo SHIFT air distribution system. This technology regulates compressed-air delivery as each diaphragm stroke approaches completion.

Consequently, the air system limits unnecessary chamber overfilling while maintaining the required product flow. Moreover, reduced compressed-air consumption can lower operating costs and improve the efficiency of continuous production processes.

Sanitary Process Connections

The Wilden PS15 Clamped Metal Pump is available with several hygienic process connections:

  • Tri-Clamp
  • DIN
  • SMS

These connections support clean process integration and simplify disassembly. For example, Tri-Clamp fittings allow technicians to disconnect the pump without removing multiple threaded components.

As a result, maintenance, cleaning and production changeovers may require less time.

Ball, Mushroom and Flap Valve Options

The sanitary diaphragm pump supports three valve arrangements for different products and solids-handling requirements.

Ball valves provide dependable operation for general hygienic liquids. Meanwhile, mushroom valves suit selected thicker products or media containing smaller soft particles.

Alternatively, flap valves provide the largest solids passage. Published capabilities include:

  • Flap valves: Solids up to 60.3 mm
  • Ball valves: Solids up to 19.1 mm
  • Mushroom valves: Solids up to 9.5 mm

Therefore, users can configure the Wilden PS15 hygienic pump according to product consistency, solids size and cleaning requirements.

PS15 Sanitary Diaphragm Options

Available diaphragm arrangements include:

  • Full-Stroke Integral Piston
  • PTFE Integral Piston
  • EZ-Install TPE
  • Full-Stroke PTFE
  • Rubber

The selected diaphragm affects flow, suction lift, chemical compatibility and regulatory compliance.

In particular, USP Class VI certification applies only to qualifying configurations fitted with approved PTFE elastomers. Therefore, users should verify the complete pump code rather than assuming that every PS15 configuration carries the same certification.

Hygienic Pump Suction-Lift Performance

Maximum dry suction lift ranges from approximately 3.1 to 4.4 metres, depending on the selected diaphragm. Meanwhile, wet suction lift reaches up to approximately 9 metres.

However, actual suction performance also depends on product viscosity, operating temperature, piping resistance and atmospheric conditions. Consequently, the complete suction arrangement should be reviewed during technical selection.

Wilden PS15 Applications in India

The Wilden PS15 Clamped Metal Pump may support hygienic processing applications across India, including:

  • Dairy processing
  • Beverage production
  • Sauces and liquid foods
  • Protein-based products
  • Cosmetics manufacturing
  • Personal-care products
  • Pharmaceutical production
  • Biopharmaceutical processing
  • Hygienic container unloading
  • Clean-in-place systems
  • Shear-sensitive product transfer
  • Products containing soft solids

For example, a ball-valve configuration can transfer smooth liquid products. Alternatively, a flap-valve PS15 pump can handle suitable foods or process media containing larger soft solids.

Selecting the Correct Wilden Hygienic Pump

Correct pump selection depends on:

  • Required flow and discharge pressure
  • Product viscosity
  • Operating temperature
  • Solids size and concentration
  • Required hygienic certification
  • Diaphragm compatibility
  • Valve arrangement
  • Process connection
  • Cleaning procedure
  • Available compressed-air supply
  • Suction conditions

Therefore, users should configure the Wilden PS15 Clamped Metal Pump around the complete product and process duty. Otherwise, an unsuitable diaphragm, connection or valve arrangement may reduce flow, hygienic performance and component life.

Why Choose the Wilden Saniflo PS15?

The Wilden Saniflo PS15 combines clean-in-place capability, sanitary connections and efficient air-operated pumping.

Moreover, multiple diaphragm and valve options allow this hygienic AODD pump to handle varied food, dairy, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products. As a result, it provides a dependable solution for facilities across India requiring hygienic product handling and efficient cleaning.
