| 17/11/2008 - LEADING THE FIELD IN OEM PUMPS |
The Verderflex Autoclude OEM range of peristaltic pumps now accounts for 78% of its manufacturer’s sales turnover and given the many features and benefits of these products it’s easy to understand why. They are available in a choice of styles from highly compact to the large and robust for arduous applications with wide-ranging motor, tube and flow rate options. As a result these pumps are specified for diverse applications from precise dosing of surgical instrument disinfectant to the dispensing of heavy duty printing ink.
The Autoclude OEM pump is based on a patented, seal-less design which ensures that only the tube comes into contact with the fluid. This is important as it limits the possibility of contamination and controls chemical compatibility problems. The simplicity of this design makes tube replacement exceptionally easy and quick. Maintenance is also minimised by the pump’s ability to run without any additional lubrication.
No internal backflow on the Autoclude OEM pump ensures accurate dosing without slip providing repeatability of typically ±0.5% and metering capability of ±2%. Its gentle pumping action allows it even to be used for shear sensitive solids and liquids that can be damaged or altered by the action of other pumps. And as the pump is capable of self-priming it can also handle products that are likely to ‘air’ or ‘gas’.
Another benefit is the product’s high suction capability. This allows the Autoclude pump to lift a liquid, such as water, by as much as 8.5m giving greater flexibility in system design.
New to the OEM range is the easy tube loading stackable peristaltic pump that is ideal for multi-channel pumping, sampling and analysis and other laboratory research applications. With this in mind its components are made from acetal, polyamide and stainless steel. Designed for simple and trouble-free use this pump provides flow rates from a few millilitres up to 1.3 l/min.
Its key feature is quick and easy tube change, a procedure that requires no screws or tools. Continuous tubing in sizes from 1.6mm to 8mm bore is available in a choice of materials including Verderprene, silicone, Viton and Tygon.
