Do you want to optimize the performance of your Wilden® air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps? Read our latest blog to learn how understanding performance curves – identifying operating range, performance, and air consumption – can improve your operation.

Success for industrial operations around the world can be measured in a number of different ways. Almost always, they can be grouped into one of three categories: Keeping operating costs low, keeping customers happy and keeping employees safe. Happy customers and safe employees are typically easy to identify and measure for most industrial plants. However, operating costs tend to have hidden components that are not so easy to spot.

Since Wilden invented the air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump in 1955, many competitors have attempted to capitalize on our reputation and long history of AODD pump innovation. Unfortunately, this has created a serious problem for operators – pirated components and parts. In this blog post, we take a look at the telltale signs of pirated AODD components and discuss how using parts masquerading as genuine Wilden can compromise your AODD pump performance and safety.

Did you know that when Wilden Pure-Fuse Integral Piston Diaphragms (IPDs) are combined with the capabilities of Wilden Saniflo™ Hygienic™ Series Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm (AODD) Pumps you get a solution that improves overall cleanability, extends uptime, provides superior product containment, enhances operational efficiency, and simplifies cleaning and maintenance?
