The Rotho pump

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document provides an overview of the Rotho peristaltic pump, emphasizing its design, functionality, and applications across various industries. With over 60 years of experience, the company specializes in peristaltic pumps.
Principle of Operation
The peristaltic pump operates on the principle of peristalsis, using rollers to compress an elastomeric tube, creating a vacuum that draws fluid into the tube. This ensures gentle fluid handling and prevents contamination.
Design Advantages
  • Eliminates lubrication fluid, reducing maintenance and extending tube life.
  • Requires smaller drives, consuming less power.
  • Suitable for transferring food products without contamination risks.
  • Facilitates easy hose replacement without messy lubricants.
Key Features
  • No seals or valves, self-priming, and capable of reverse flow.
  • Can run dry without damage and handle fluids with solid particles.
  • Suitable for CIP (Clean-In-Place) applications.
Applications
  • Industries: Ceramic, Chemical, Water and Waste Treatment, Food & Beverage, Metallurgy, Pulp & Paper, Construction, Painting, Ink, Mining, Marine, Biogas.
  • Fluids: Abrasive, corrosive, viscous, and those with solid parts.
Environmental Applications
  • Chemical Metering: Effective for chemicals like Sodium Hypochlorite and Ferric Chloride.
  • Sludge Transfer: Handles various sludge types in treatment plants.
Technical Specifications
  • Hose materials include Natural Isoprene, EPDM, NBR, and others, each suitable for different fluid types and conditions.
  • Temperature and pressure ratings vary by hose type, with specific recommendations for cleaning and sterilization.
Models and Capacities
  • PSF Series: Capacities from 1 to 3,100 liters per hour, pressures up to 8-15 bar.
  • MS Series: Capacities from 1,000 to 18,000 liters per hour, pressures up to 8-15 bar.
  • SDF Series: Capacities from 10,000 to 70,000 liters per hour, pressures up to 8-15 bar.
Additional Features
  • Optional accessories include flanges, variable gear speed, pulse dampeners, feeders, leak detectors, and retractable rollers.
  • ATEX certification for use in hazardous environments.
Technical Specifications Overview
The document provides detailed technical specifications for various models of variable gear speed pumps, categorized by pressure ranges and specific models. It includes data on RPM, flow rate, pressure, and power.
Variable Gear Speed 0-4 Bar

The Rotho pump-2

We have been manufacturing pumps for over 60 years, and from the early years we have especially focused on the research and development of the peristaltic pump. Today we are in a position of proposing solutions for every industrial field with the reliability and quality that we have built our success upon.

The Rotho pump-3

Simple Principle The basic principle of the peristaltic pump traces back to human “peristalsis” a term referring to the alternating contraction and relaxation of muscles around a tube to force the contents through it. An elastomeric tube is squeezed along a length by rollers that push the fluid contained within. The tube’s restitution after squeezing produces a vacuum that draws fluid continuously into the tube. This creates a gentle pumping action that doesn’t cause any damage to the product. Contaminations are avoided because the fluid is contained within the tube (one contact part with product)....

The Rotho pump-5

Abrasive Products The Rotho pump is excellent on abrasive slurries where it has had much more success than other pumps. The Rotho pump parts stay out of the product zone and the hose is the only one thing that is in contact with the product, this keeping abrasive wear to a minimum. Products that crystallize are also well pumped by the Rotho pump. There are no valves or glands so the eventual build up of crystals could not clog the pump. Corrosive Products With corrosive fluids the hose selection is of paramount importance to the longevity of the pump. With the correct hose selection and no other...

The Rotho pump-9

The models of MS and SDF Serie can be equipped of feeder to feed products with solid parts or sensitive parts. All Rotho pumps (optional for PSF Serie) are equipped of leak detector to provide early indication of hose failure. This is a float type sensor that is located at the lowest point of the pump housing. Leak detector The “retractable” position of the roller is instrumental in increasing the lifetime of the tube element. When the pump is not in use for a certain period of time, the tube element can be separated from the roller from outside the pump by activating the rapid release mechanism...
