Water. . one stands alone

It also stands up to chemicals, grout, resin, oil, glue and low density powders.

The heart of the Wilden air-oper- ated double diaphragm pump is its unique air valve which shifts the air supply to both dia- phragms alternately with com- plete reliability under all condi- tions of head and flow.

Up to 90% solids and over 250' heads are no problem for the

WILDEN PUMP. Our dorble diaphragm design cuts velocity in pump to half total discharge velocity. The most abrasive slur- ries are handled with ease since there are no seals and no metal to metal contact.

Volume is infinitely variable by controlling air flow to pump, from a few gallons per minute to over 14,000 gallons per hour. No pressure relief valve is required and the pump can run dry inde- finitely.

Wilden pumps are available with wetted parts in aluminum, cast iron, stainless steel, and Hastel- loy C. Non-wetted parts in alu- minum or cast iron. Elastomers in Neoprene, Buna N, Nordel,

Viton®, and Teflon®.
