Rising Plant Energy Costs? Pro-Flo® SHIFT Cuts Them.
Industries today face rising energy costs, wasted air consumption, slow cycle times, and high maintenance due to inefficient AODD pump designs that overfill air chambers and stall frequently. As sustainability demands grow, these issues directly impact productivity and operating expenses. The Wilden® Pro-Flo® SHIFT AODD Pump, a leading innovation from PSG® Dover, addresses these challenges with its smart air-restricting ADS that cuts air use by up to 60%, boosts flow rates, minimizes downtime with fewer moving parts, and delivers faster cycles—offering a reliable, energy-efficient and cost-effective pumping solution for modern manufacturing.
Why Choose Pro-Flo® SHIFT Air-Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps (AODD Pumps)
The Wilden® Pro-Flo® SHIFT Pumps are engineered to restrict the air flow into the air chamber as each pump stroke nears completion, ensuring just enough air is introduced to sustain the pumping process. This efficiency automatically optimizes air consumption and eliminates overfilling of the air chamber without compromising flow rate.
Features and benefits of the Pro-Flo SHIFT ADS include:
- Up to 60% in air savings, all while retaining existing flow rates
- Reduced total cost of ownership
- Ease of maintenance
- Unbalanced spool preventing stalling
- Simple pilot spool to trigger which air chamber is filled
- Minimum moving parts (less wear)
- Tight tolerances to eliminate lost air
Wilden Pro-Flo SHIFT diagram pumps achieve some of the industry’s highest flow rates while reducing operational costs.
As energy costs rise and the sustainable-manufacturing movement gains momentum, industries are striving to innovate new manufacturing and production methods. The Wilden Pro-Flo SHIFT Series diaphragm pumps exemplify this with its energy-efficient design. It effectively reduces energy consumption and costs, aligning perfectly with the principles of sustainable manufacturing.
Real-World Examples:
AMTROL
USA
“The Wilden Pro-Flo SHIFT increased our efficiency. Our cycle time has been reduced by nearly 40 percent to expand our waste-processing capacity without additional equipment. The SHIFT has been a major benefit in improving our waste-processing capabilities without major capital investments.”
Indochemical Citra Kimia
Indonesia
Installed a PS Series Pump, which proved to fill their tank 78 minutes less than the competitor’s, while they needed 2,164 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) to complete the process.
Chromalloy
The Netherlands
Upgraded their existing Wilden Original Series AODD Pumps to Pro-Flo SHIFT.
“We’ve taken four cents per cubic meter per hour (m3/hr) off the operating cost, and at 16 hours a day, five days a week, we recalculated the investment we made, and we will be saving €11,000 ($12,020) per year for the eight pumps. The Pro-Flo SHIFT ADS investment will be paid for in 12 months.”
