Description
The Wilden® PS1520/PS1530 Pro-Flo® SHIFT Series bolted metal AODD pump — also known as the FIT pump — sets a new benchmark for air-operated double-diaphragm pump performance and energy efficiency. Its enhanced flow path reduces internal friction for improved flow rates and longer diaphragm life, while its bolted construction ensures superior containment. The PS1520/PS1530 shares the exact bolt-down footprint and inlet/discharge connections as Wilden clamped pumps, enabling direct drop-in replacement without piping modifications.
Features
- Pro-Flo® SHIFT ADS: Air control spool automatically optimises air consumption, eliminating overfilling of the air chamber — delivers up to 60% reduction in air consumption and 34% greater flow rates vs. competing AODD technologies; costs 50% less than electronically actuated ADS
- Bolted construction for superior containment and the longest Mean Time Between Repair (MTBR)
- Enhanced flow path design — flow rates up to 35% greater than competitive models; improved diaphragm life
- Mechanically actuated SHIFT ADS — no electronic parts; plug-and-play; submersible without additional configuration
- NPT/BSPT threaded liquid connections (PS1520) or DIN/ANSI flanged connections without welding or nipples (PS1530)
- Large-solids passage up to 12.7 mm (1/2″”)
- High suction lift capability — up to 9.7 m (31.8′) wet
- Flexible internal manifold adjustment
- Portable and submersible; single-point exhaust option available
- Increased on/off reliability
- Largest chemical compatibility range — nine elastomer options
