What are Wilden Pumps?
In 1955 Jim Wilden founder of Wilden Pumps created the AODD pump. The original Wilden pumps were reciprocating, positive-displacement pumps. Which performed in environments and conditions where existing pumps at the time of different designs simply could not.
Today Wilden pumps are air-operated and double-diaphragm in design. Found to be popular in the construction and mining industries. This is down to their simple maintenance, reliable operation and ability to offer a wide range of flow rates and outlet pressure. With its success and high performance for pumping slurry, cement and mud Wilden pumps gained favour in other industries that work with ceramics, chemicals, oils, gases, paper and ofcourse plain water.
The original series of pumps featured clamped joints. This was in key to Jim Wilden’s original design, but more modern pumps feature utilise bolted, flanged connections for extra joint integrity and safety. New or old, Wilden pumps are also manufactured with metal or plastic bodies to suit the specific conditions the pump will be used in.
