Product Description
Wilden PS1520 Bolted Metal Pump
The Wilden PS1520 Bolted Metal Pump is a 76 mm (3-inch) air-operated double-diaphragm pump developed for high-capacity industrial fluid transfer. Moreover, its FIT bolted construction supports reliable containment, extended diaphragm life and straightforward maintenance.
Depending on the body and diaphragm configuration, maximum flow reaches 1,026 lpm or 271 gpm. In addition, the pump handles discharge pressures up to 8.6 bar or 125 psi.
PS1520 AODD Pump Performance
The Wilden PS1520 uses an optimised internal flow path to move more liquid with the available compressed-air supply.
Wilden states that the FIT design can provide flow improvements of up to 35% compared with competitive models. Consequently, users may increase productivity without installing a larger pump.
Moreover, the improved liquid path can reduce turbulence and unnecessary energy losses. Therefore, the pump provides efficient operation across demanding transfer applications.
Key Features of the Wilden FIT Pump
- 76 mm or 3-inch liquid connections
- 3/4-inch FNPT air inlet
- Maximum flow up to 1,026 lpm
- Maximum pressure of 8.6 bar
- Solids passage up to 12.7 mm
- NPT or BSPT threaded connections
- Pro-Flo SHIFT air distribution system
- Secure bolted metal construction
- Aluminium, ductile-iron and stainless-steel options
- Rubber, TPE and PTFE diaphragm options
- Portable and submersible capability
- Strong suction-lift performance
- Matching footprint for compatible clamped pumps
Together, these features make the Wilden PS1520 Bolted Metal Pump suitable for high-volume transfer duties involving particles, abrasive media or chemically challenging liquids.
FIT Bolted Metal Construction
The FIT pump uses bolted liquid chambers and manifolds to improve product containment. Therefore, it can reduce the risk of leaks compared with incorrectly tensioned clamped assemblies.
Moreover, Wilden designed the pump with the same bolt-down footprint and connection positions as compatible Wilden clamped pumps. Consequently, facilities can replace an existing model without extensive piping or foundation modifications.
Available wetted-body materials include aluminium, ductile iron and stainless steel. Therefore, users can select the construction according to corrosion resistance, abrasion and fluid compatibility.
Pro-Flo SHIFT Air System
The Wilden PS1520 Bolted Metal Pump includes the energy-efficient Pro-Flo SHIFT air distribution system.
As each pumping stroke approaches completion, the air system controls the flow entering the air chamber. Consequently, it limits unnecessary chamber overfilling while maintaining the required diaphragm movement.
As a result, Pro-Flo SHIFT can reduce compressed-air consumption without sacrificing flow. Moreover, its simplified construction supports longer service intervals and lower operating costs.
Three-Inch Threaded Connections
The PS1520 uses 3-inch NPT or BSPT threaded inlet and discharge connections. In contrast, the related PS1530 model uses DIN or ANSI flanged connections.
Therefore, the Wilden PS1520 Bolted Metal Pump suits installations requiring factory-threaded process connections. Meanwhile, users requiring flanges should select the appropriate PS1530 configuration.
Diaphragm and Flow Options
Pump performance varies according to the selected diaphragm and housing material.
Published maximum flow rates include:
- Rubber diaphragm: Up to 1,026 lpm
- EZ-Install TPE diaphragm: Up to 1,026 lpm
- Full-Stroke PTFE diaphragm: Up to 992 lpm
- Selected ductile-iron PTFE configuration: Up to 874 lpm
Displacement per stroke ranges from approximately 4.8 to 5.4 litres. Therefore, diaphragm selection should consider chemical resistance, temperature, abrasion, service life and required flow.
Solids Handling and Suction Lift
The Wilden 3-inch AODD pump can pass solids up to 12.7 mm or 1/2 inch in diameter. Consequently, it may transfer suitable fluids containing suspended particles that could obstruct pumps with narrower internal passages.
Dry suction lift ranges from approximately 5.9 to 7.2 metres, depending on the configuration. Meanwhile, wet suction lift reaches up to approximately 9.7 metres.
However, actual suction performance depends on the liquid, diaphragm, piping layout, air supply and operating conditions.
UAE Applications for the PS1520 Pump
The Wilden PS1520 Bolted Metal Pump may support:
- Chemical transfer
- Paints and coatings
- Water and wastewater
- Oil and lubricant transfer
- Sludge and slurry handling
- Ceramic processing
- Mining support operations
- Marine and utility duties
- Tank unloading
- Fluids containing suspended particles
- Portable dewatering
- General industrial transfer
For example, a wastewater facility can use the pump for liquids containing suitable suspended solids. Similarly, a chemical plant can select stainless-steel construction and compatible diaphragms for corrosive transfer duties.
Selecting the Correct Wilden PS1520 Pump
Correct pump selection depends on:
- Required flow rate
- Discharge pressure
- Liquid composition
- Viscosity
- Operating temperature
- Solids size and concentration
- Wetted-body material
- Diaphragm and valve materials
- Available compressed-air volume
- Suction conditions
- Required thread standard
Therefore, users should configure the Wilden PS1520 Bolted Metal Pump according to the complete system duty. Otherwise, incompatible materials or an inadequate air supply may reduce flow, reliability and component life.
