Coatings Company Standardises on Wilden Pumps from Axflow
Over the past five years AxFlow has supplied upwards of 36 ATEX certified Wilden PV800 pumps (air operated double diaphragm pumps) to a leading UK manufacturer of coatings for the packaging industry.
London, UK (PRWEB) April 4, 2008 -- Over the past five years AxFlow has supplied upwards of 36 ATEX certified Wilden PV800 pumps (air operated double diaphragm pumps) to a leading UK manufacturer of coatings for the packaging industry. Most are being used for transferring raw materials into vessels and on the discharge side for recirculating and filling-off into IBCs and road tankers. The objective is to shift liquids ranging from low viscosity solvents through to high viscosity resin raw materials quickly on demand.
Transferring coatings, resins and solvents around a production plant can be a difficult process in respect of preventing leakage of the pumped medium and the effects that any solids contained within the medium can have on a pump's components.
Leakage to the atmosphere creates potentially hazardous and environmentally dangerous conditions, making fluid containment a basic necessity. Furthermore, component wear reduces the working life of the pump, increases maintenance costs and contributes to lost production due to down-time. Of the many pump types that can be considered for transferring fluids in the coatings and resin industry, the air operated double diaphragm (AODD) positive displacement pump ticks most performance boxes.
The Wilden pump PV800 is suitable for transferring heavy, abrasive liquids and slurries equally as efficiently and effectively as fluids that can be damaged by high shear forces. When it comes to maintenance this customer places a relatively low priority on the Wilden pumps as it has confidence in their ability to run unattended for long periods. The plant runs a batch production schedule on a 24/7 basis and it is common for individual pumps to run non-stop for 4 hours a day. In fact, more often than not, it is only when the pump has reached break-down point that it is taken out of operation for servicing and two years' unbroken operation is not unusual.
