WILDEN APPLICATION GUIDE

WILDEN Pumps for Paints and Coatings

Paint transfer combines viscosity, pigment abrasion and sensitivity to excessive shear. Record viscosity at the actual transfer temperature and identify the longest suction route. A pump selected only from its water-flow headline may disappoint when a formulation thickens or a filter loads.

Typical transfer duty

Resins, pigments, coatings and compatible solvents

Mixing vessel → Transfer or filtration → Filling line

What to evaluate

Review Pro-Flo SHIFT pumps and the diaphragm options supported by the exact model. Chem-Fuse integral piston diaphragms can be considered where buildup around a conventional outer piston is a recurring maintenance issue.

Selection checklist

• Check solvent and cleaning-fluid compatibility

• Record clean and dirty filter pressure

• Plan colour-change cleaning and waste recovery

Operating boundary

Keep air settings and discharge flow appropriate for product quality. Grounding, bonding and the hazardous-area requirements of solvent duties must be assessed for the complete system.

Maintenance and spare parts

Keep the complete WILDEN model code, installed diaphragm material and air distribution system in the maintenance record. Confirm air-kit and wet-kit compatibility separately. Follow the model-specific engineering, operation and maintenance manual for isolation, inspection, fastener torque and reassembly; a generic parts list is not a repair procedure.

Discuss your application

Send the fluid composition, concentration, temperature, viscosity, solids information, target flow, backpressure, suction conditions and available air supply. These details allow a meaningful configuration review and a matching spare-parts recommendation.
