Product Description
Wilden P1500 Bolted Plastic Pump
The Wilden P1500 Bolted Plastic Pump is a 76 mm (3-inch) air-operated double-diaphragm pump designed for high-capacity chemical transfer. Its corrosion-resistant thermoplastic construction makes it suitable for compatible acids, caustics and other aggressive industrial liquids.
Moreover, secure bolted liquid chambers improve containment. The redesigned liquid path also reduces internal friction, which supports increased output and longer diaphragm life.
P1500 AODD Pump Performance
Maximum published flow depends on the selected PTFE diaphragm:
- Full-stroke PTFE: Up to 878 lpm
- Reduced-stroke PTFE: Up to 784 lpm
Additionally, the full-stroke configuration displaces approximately 5.8 litres per stroke. In contrast, the reduced-stroke design displaces approximately 3.75 litres per stroke.
Therefore, full-stroke PTFE suits applications prioritising higher flow. Alternatively, reduced-stroke PTFE may be selected where its particular operating characteristics better match the duty.
Key Features of the Pro-Flo Bolted Plastic Pump
- 76 mm or 3-inch liquid inlet and discharge
- 3/4-inch FNPT compressed-air inlet
- Maximum flow up to 878 lpm
- Maximum pressure up to 8.6 bar
- Solids passage up to 12.7 mm
- DIN or ANSI flanged connections
- Pro-Flo Air Distribution System
- Lube-free pneumatic operation
- Polypropylene or PVDF wetted housings
- Full-stroke and reduced-stroke PTFE diaphragms
- High suction-lift capability
- Secure bolted construction
- Simplified servicing
- Long Mean Time Between Repair
Together, these features make the Wilden P1500 Bolted Plastic Pump suitable for demanding chemical, process and industrial fluid-transfer systems.
Pro-Flo Air Distribution System
The Pro-Flo Air Distribution System uses a simplified design with only three moving parts. Consequently, the ADS supports dependable on/off operation while simplifying troubleshooting and repair.
Moreover, the plastic centre block operates without external lubrication. Therefore, operators avoid routine airline lubrication and the contamination or maintenance issues it may create.
The mechanically actuated design also contains no electronic operating components. As a result, the Pro-Flo system provides straightforward operation for varied industrial environments.
Polypropylene and PVDF Pump Construction
The Wilden P1500 Bolted Plastic Pump is available with polypropylene or PVDF wetted housings.
Polypropylene configurations have a maximum published pressure of 6.9 bar or 100 psi. Meanwhile, PVDF configurations reach up to 8.6 bar or 125 psi.
Therefore, material selection must consider both chemical compatibility and required discharge pressure. PVDF may provide improved resistance for selected aggressive chemicals. However, users must verify the exact chemical concentration and operating temperature before ordering.
PTFE Diaphragm and Elastomer Options
PTFE diaphragms provide broad chemical resistance for aggressive acids, caustics, solvents and other challenging liquids. The P1500 supports both full-stroke and reduced-stroke PTFE arrangements.
Additional available elastomer materials include:
- EPDM
- Neoprene
- Saniflex
- Wil-Flex
However, these elastomers have different chemical and temperature limits. Therefore, the diaphragm, backup diaphragm, valve ball and sealing materials must suit the complete application.
PVDF should be specified as the pump-housing material rather than an elastomer.
Three-Inch Flanged Connections
The P1500 uses 3-inch DIN or ANSI flanged liquid connections. Consequently, it integrates with larger industrial pipelines and high-capacity chemical-transfer systems.
Moreover, flanged connections provide secure attachment for heavy piping. However, users should confirm the exact flange standard, pressure class and gasket material before installation.
Solids Handling and Suction Lift
The pump can pass solids measuring up to 12.7 mm or ½ inch. Therefore, it may handle compatible fluids containing suspended particles.
Published suction performance includes:
- Full-stroke PTFE: 5.5 m dry and 8.6 m wet
- Reduced-stroke PTFE: 3.63 m dry and 8.6 m wet
However, viscosity, pipe length, elevation and air supply affect actual suction performance. Consequently, users should evaluate the complete inlet arrangement during pump selection.
Wilden P1500 Chemical Pump Applications
The Wilden P1500 Bolted Plastic Pump may support:
- Chemical processing
- Acid and caustic transfer
- Water and wastewater treatment
- Mining and mineral processing
- Paints and coatings
- Oil and gas support duties
- Tank and tanker unloading
- Industrial scrubber systems
- Adhesives and sealants
- Corrosive wastewater
- Fluids containing suspended solids
- General process transfer
For example, a polypropylene configuration may suit compatible general chemical duties. Alternatively, a PVDF model may support more aggressive liquids after a complete compatibility review. Wilden lists Pro-Flo pumps across chemical, mining, coatings, oil and gas, wastewater and general industrial markets.
Selecting a P1500 Bolted Plastic Pump
Correct selection depends on:
- Required flow and discharge pressure
- Chemical name and concentration
- Liquid temperature
- Viscosity
- Solids size and concentration
- Polypropylene or PVDF housing
- Diaphragm and valve materials
- Available compressed-air volume
- Suction conditions
- DIN or ANSI flange requirements
Therefore, users should configure the Wilden P1500 Bolted Plastic Pump around the complete hydraulic and chemical duty. Otherwise, incompatible materials or inadequate compressed air may reduce performance and component life.
Why Choose the Wilden Pro-Flo P1500?
The P1500 combines high-capacity transfer, corrosion-resistant construction and reliable lube-free pneumatic operation. Moreover, its large-solids passage and strong suction performance support challenging industrial fluids.
