Abbeychart Launches High Quality Peristaltic Pumps
12 Oct 2006
Abbeychart, a specialist in the supply of parts and consumable items, has introduced the PeriPump range of high quality, cost competitive and simple to install peristaltic pumps. The resource is designed for use by equipment manufacturers in a cross section of industries, including chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology, ceramics, water and waste treatment, food and beverage, and print and packaging.
PeriPumps offer several significant benefits, including low risk of media contamination, simple and cost-effective operation, low maintenance, self-priming, and a gentle pumping action. They are also reversible and can be flushed to clean out the tubing or hose.
The three pumps in the range can handle sensitive, abrasive, sterile or aggressive liquid, gas, mixed-phase and viscous fluids. They have no valves, seals or glands, and the fluid contacts only the bore of the hose or tube. Instead, the pumps use rotating rollers pressed against special flexible tubing to create a pressurised flow.
PeriPump 1 can pump a maximum of 8.81 litres/hour. The corresponding figure for PeriPump 2 is 23.5 litres/hour and, for PeriPump 3, 28.1 litres/hour.
The pumps’ components, which include a pump head, drive and replaceable or disposable tubing, are versatile enough to be configured according to each individual customer’s requirements.
Peristaltic pumps used in pharmaceutical, chemical and food and beverage applications are typically peristaltic metering pumps or beverage peristaltic pumps. Because of their non-contamination and gentle action, peristaltic pumps also have a number of medical applications, including adding nutrients to blood, pushing blood through filters to clean it, or moving blood through the body and lungs during open heart surgery.
