Their pumps are known for handling flows from 0.4µl/min to 66.6 liters per minute and pressures up to 100 psi, making them ideal for sanitary applications across various industries.
Specifications and Features
The Watson-Marlow 520, 620, and 720 pumps are designed for high purity, accuracy, and reliability. They feature a low-shear peristaltic action that ensures aseptic fluid movement, with the fluid contained entirely within the tube, eliminating contamination risks. These pumps offer a wide speed range, high accuracy, and reduced maintenance needs, supported by a five-year warranty.
Applications
These pumps are used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food, cosmetics, and healthcare, particularly in applications requiring sterility and precision, such as metering, dosing, and transfer of sensitive fluids.
Advantages
The pumps provide contamination-free operation, sterility, low shear, and high accuracy. They integrate easily into process control systems and offer long tubing life, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Case Studies
Examples include a pharmaceutical company improving cleaning efficiency with the 620 pump, and a cosmetics manufacturer using Watson-Marlow pumps for precise emulsion metering. The pumps have also replaced rotary lobe pumps in biopharmaceutical applications due to their superior performance and ease of cleaning.
Product Range and Selection
The 520, 620, and 720 pumps offer various configurations to suit different flow rates and pressures. The LoadSure® element pumpheads provide easy tube loading and positive connection, while continuous tubing options ensure uninterrupted flow paths.
Conclusion
Watson-Marlow's sanitary pumps are designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern process industries, offering reliability, efficiency, and ease of use. Their comprehensive range ensures that there is a suitable pump for every application.
Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various pump models, including dimensions and weight. For example, the 520 drive only model measures 276mm in width, 322mm in depth, and 158mm in height, weighing 10.7kg. The 720 with 720R pumphead is larger and heavier, measuring 280mm in width, 508mm in depth, and 305mm in height, with a weight of 25.0kg.
Pump Features
Key features include two-level PIN access, pump status outputs, and analog frequency output of pump speed.
