Detachable AODD Pump
Wilden, part of PSG, a Dover company, released its new 6 mm (1/4”) Velocity Series air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump.
Wilden, part of PSG, a Dover company, released its new 6 mm (1/4”) Velocity Series air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump. The V2550 Velocity Series pump features a detachable mounting foot, providing adaptable mounting capabilities suitable for all small-dosing applications.
The company reports that the pump can be reoriented by loosening a single screw. The design provides the user with multiple mounting options while allowing the pump to fit into restricted spaces, a critical consideration for original equipment manufacturer systems and skids. The pump’s design also eliminates the effects of torque decay and delivers improved dry suction lift at all operating parameters for better priming under a variety of system conditions. Additionally, the pumps feature an interchangeable footprint with competitor and previous company designs.
This pump series comes equipped with a simple air distribution system (ADS) with two moving parts that reduce the risk of downtime, according to the company. Wilden Velocity Series pumps can handle suction lifts from 10–14 feet. These pumps are available in polypropylene and PVDF construction, as well as an Accu-Flo (solenoid) option.
Mixing Technologies in the Pharmaceutical and Medical Industries (Mar 2025)
March 26th 2025This white paper presents an overview of mixing technologies implemented across many of today’s highly competitive pharmaceutical and medical industries, as well as new equipment designs that are increasingly being recognized as potential solutions to prevailing mixing challenges. Mixing applications falling within the broad spectrum of mass produced pharmaceutical goods and medical devices are too many and complex to discuss in detail hence this paper will touch on a few general classifications as well as a few examples within that mixing category. Phase and viscosity are used as bases for classification.
Specifying a tumble blender for pharmaceutical manufacturing (Mar 2025)
March 26th 2025Tumble blenders deliver highly accurate and repeatable mixing of powders, granules and even low-viscosity slurries. In addition, this style blender enables complete discharge and easy cleaning. This bulletin presents some design considerations for maximizing mixing efficiency in a tumble blender and selecting the most suitable features for a particular application.
