Detachable AODD Pump

Wilden, part of PSG, a Dover company, released its new 6 mm (1/4”) Velocity Series air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump.

Wilden, part of PSG, a Dover company, released its new 6 mm (1/4”) Velocity Series air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump. The V2550 Velocity Series pump features a detachable mounting foot, providing adaptable mounting capabilities suitable for all small-dosing applications.

The company reports that the pump can be reoriented by loosening a single screw. The design provides the user with multiple mounting options while allowing the pump to fit into restricted spaces, a critical consideration for original equipment manufacturer systems and skids. The pump’s design also eliminates the effects of torque decay and delivers improved dry suction lift at all operating parameters for better priming under a variety of system conditions. Additionally, the pumps feature an interchangeable footprint with competitor and previous company designs.

This pump series comes equipped with a simple air distribution system (ADS) with two moving parts that reduce the risk of downtime, according to the company. Wilden Velocity Series pumps can handle suction lifts from 10–14 feet. These pumps are available in polypropylene and PVDF construction, as well as an Accu-Flo (solenoid) option.
