AxFlow introduces Wilden full stroke PTFE diaphragm AODD pumps
05/07/2011 AxFlow Limited
AxFlow has announced the introduction of Wilden's full stroke PTFE diaphragms for the Advanced™ and Original™ Series air-operated double diaphragm pumps. The diaphragms are available for pumps in 25mm-76mm size range.The increased stroke length of the new PTFE diaphragm provides flow, suction lift and efficiency comparable to rubber and Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) diaphragms. They also use the same shaft and hardware as Wilden rubber and TPE diaphragms, thereby optimising performance and increased part commonality. This will be of great benefit to existing Wilden pump users as they will be able to retrofit the new diaphragms without the need for any extra components.
Peter Carfrae, Wilden Product Manager at AxFlow GB, reports that the full stroke design of the new PTFE diaphragms will deliver enhanced performance for more challenging applications and accommodate temperatures up to 104-°C. This is due to the increased product displacement per stroke, which translates into greater flow rates and higher efficiencies than those that are attained by AODD pumps using reduced stroke PTFE diaphragms.
Full stroke PTFE diaphragms are available on Wilden's bolted and drop-in configuration stainless steel and aluminium AODD pumps and are available with Wil-flex™ and Saniflex™ back-up diaphragm options.
