Product Specifications and Capabilities

• Flow Rates: From ultra-low flows of 0.01 µl/min to high flows up to 90 cubic meters per hour (equivalent to 4,000 liters/hour and beyond).
• Pump Types: Multi-roller precision pumpheads, duplex and CIP (Clean-In-Place) models, sinusoidal pumps, cassette pumps with up to 32 channels, and OEM pumpheads for custom integration.
• Control Options: Manual, analogue, digital (RS232/RS485), TTL, and automated control systems with intuitive interfaces and minimal key presses.
• Drive Options: Fixed and variable speed drives, including three-phase motors, pneumatic drives, ATEX-rated versions for hazardous environments, and brushless DC motors.
• Pressure Ratings: Pumps capable of handling pressures from 2 bar up to 16 bar, suitable for high-pressure industrial applications.
• Materials and Tubing: Extensive tubing options including USP Class VI Bioprene, STA-PURE PCS and PFL, platinum-cured Pumpsil Silicone, and various hose materials (Natural Rubber, Nitrile NBR, Hypalon, EPDM) with bore sizes from 0.13 mm to 25.4 mm and hose diameters up to 100 mm.

Key Features and Benefits

• Precision and Accuracy: Dosing and dispensing pumps achieve ±0.5% accuracy, with precise flow control for single and multi-channel applications.
• Maintenance and Reliability: LoadSure tube elements enable quick, error-free tube loading and one-minute maintenance. Pumps are designed for continuous 24/7 operation with minimal maintenance, no seals or valves to clog or leak, and self-priming capabilities up to 9 meters.
• Cleanability and Compliance: Full Clean-In-Place (CIP) and Steam-In-Place (SIP) capabilities, 3A certification for hygienic applications, and tubing with FDA and USP Class VI approvals.
• Versatility: Suitable for handling shear-sensitive fluids, viscous sludges, slurries, aggressive acids, and caustics. Pumps support reversible flow direction and contamination-free operation.
• Industrial and Scientific Applications: Products cater to biopharmaceutical, chemical, food and beverage, and general industrial sectors with specialized solutions such as aseptic filling systems, high-pressure industrial pumps, and ultra-compact scientific pumps.
