Contact pumps for precision work
A new range of digitally controlled liquid metering and dispensing pumps, which deliver fluids positively and precisely regardless of pressure variation, flow or viscosity, has been introduced by Michael Smith Engineers.
The Travcyl pump range, which is suitable for low flow OEM, laboratory and pharmaceutical applications, provides flow rates from as little as 2.6ml/min up to 1280ml/min, with an accuracy to ± 0.05% Cv.
The pump is said to combine accuracy and reliability with features such as high volumetric efficiency, near pulseless flow, timed dispensing, CIP/SIP capabilities and low shear. It operates without the need for calibration, and because the design eliminates the need for valves, the potential for clogging and any resulting flow measurements errors is eliminated.
The pump is offered with a choice of control options, including analogue or digital input/output signals, and manual or automatic program modes, so it can be easily adapted to suit specific fluid control applications.
