Watson-Marlow 530 peristaltic cased pumps

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group has introduced the 530 peristaltic cased pump for metering and transfer applications such as surface coating, printing and lime addition. The pump offers easy operation and versatility coupled with high levels of accuracy.

The models are designed to meet the demands of rugged and often remote environments and are built to operate 24/7 without interruption. It is possible to quickly check control parameters and avoid errors with visual status through a bright colour display, while an intuitive menu structure makes for confident and easy operator interaction. Integrated Profibus networking capabilities offer two-way, real-time communications, increased diagnostic capability and faster response.

The range of process pumps offers four drive options and nine pumphead variants. This enables users to choose from manual operation to fully automated control, including the ability to link up to 16 pumps and provide real-time communication.

The pumps deliver flow rates from 0.0001 mL/min to 3.5 L/min. It is the pumphead that determines both the flow rate and the pressure that can be achieved to match the needs of the specific process. The pumps can be fitted with either continuous tubing pumpheads, or with LoadSure tube element pumpheads for pressures up to 7 bar.

The pumps have no seals, valves or diaphragms and do not suffer gas locking, corrosion or clogging. Chemical-resistant Marprene industrial-grade thermoplastic elastomer tubing offers wide chemical compatibility and long life, along with low gas permeability.
