Ceramic slip and glaze are deceptively hard on pumps. Abrasive, high in solids, and quick to settle and pack down the moment flow stops — a nasty mix that grinds through rotating pumps and blocks the ones that can’t cut. Diaphragm pumps handle it because they pass the solids whole and don’t lean on tight, wear-prone clearances.
A Wilden on ceramic duty shifts slip and glaze reliably, soaks up the abrasion with hard-wearing wetted parts, and self-primes to restart even after the slurry’s had a chance to sit. It’s been a fixture in tile, sanitaryware and pottery production for exactly these reasons.
We supply these genuine and specced for abrasion. Tell us the slurry — solids content and how abrasive — and we’ll match the right build and diaphragm for a decent service life.
Genuine Wilden AODD Diaphragm Pumps & Spare Parts15-1120-51 is a neoprene valve seat for the Wilden T15 — the surface each check ball lands on. Wear here mimics a bad check ball closely.
Genuine Wilden AODD Diaphragm Pumps & Spare Parts15-1010-51 is the primary neoprene diaphragm for Wilden’s 3″ T15 pumps — the part that actually flexes to move fluid on every stroke.
Genuine Wilden AODD Diaphragm Pumps & Spare Parts15-3520-52 is the Buna-N center block gasket on the Wilden T15. Cheap, easy to overlook, and often blamed on other parts when it leaks.
