AxFlow has introduced the latest air distribution systems (ADS) from Wilden which can achieve up to 60% savings in air consumption.
Air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pump technology manufacturer Wilden®, has announced the launch and availability of the new Pro-Flo® SHIFT Air Distribution System (ADS) for use in Advanced™ Series bolted and Original™ Series clamped AODD pumps. The Pro-Flo SHIFT ADS represents a significant breakthrough in energy efficiency within the AODD pump category as plants continue to look for ways to reduce air consumption and reduce their carbon footprints.
Wilden says that due to its revolutionary design, the patent-pending Pro-Flo SHIFT ADS allows Wilden AODD pumps to achieve up to a 60% savings in air consumption over all competitive AODD pump technologies, while providing greater product yield per standard cubic foot per minute (SCFM).
“The Pro-Flo SHIFT represents a giant leap forward in the energy efficiency and performance of AODD pumps,” says Peter Carfrae, AxFlow’s Wilden Pumps product manager. “The simple design of the ADS doesn’t require any additional bolted-on equipment or bulky electronics, allowing operators to keep the same compact footprint.”
The Wilden Pro-Flo SHIFT is available in 38 mm (1-1/2”), 51 mm (2”), and 76 mm (3”) sizes and features maximum discharge pressures to 8.6 bar (125 psig), maximum flows to 923 l/pm (243 gpm) and maximum solid-handling size to 13 mm (1/2”). The Pro-Flo SHIFT is available with maximum suction lifts to 7.2 m (23.8’) dry and 9.6 m (30.6’) wet.
While the Wilden Pro-Flo SHIFT dramatically improves energy efficiency, it also costs 50% less than electronically actuated ADS, is submersible and features plug-and-play operation. Its robust design makes the Pro-Flo SHIFT ideal for use in harsh operating environments and includes ATEX compliance for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The Pro-Flo SHIFT has fewer operating parts, which equates to less downtime and simple maintenance. With no electronics, its design is well suited for the harsh environments typically found in industrial applications
