The Larox Flowsys" family of pumps has been extended to include a new model designed to measure the exact flow per revolution irrespective of the pipeline pressure.
The LPP-M pump, developed by the flow control technology supplier, is manufactured using durable elastomers.
As the LPP-M pumps are equipped with the standard technical features of a typical peristaltic pump such as dry run capability and self-priming, they provide exact flow per cycle, said Matti Riihimaeki, vice president of pump products at Larox Flowsys.
Seal less pumps will not get damaged even if they run dry for longer periods of time, he continues.
LPP-M pumps have also the highest maximum working pressure on the markets and are equipped with a patented Tube Failure Detection (TFD). This patented system is capable of detecting the presence of a large number of chemicals.
According to Riihimaeki, LPP-M tube material selection includes two types of tubes: Norprene for chemicals and Tygothane for oils and fats. The correct mechanical design and material selection are essential for optimal tube lifetime and factory assembled PVDF adapter fittings allow easy tube changes without error possibility.
Larox Flowsys is based in Lappeenranta, Finland.
