Peristaltic Pumps with Improved Performance
Larox Flowsys has expanded its product line to include the Larox
LPP80 peristaltic pump. The LPP series pumps incorporate a unique patented rolling
design that is claimed to eliminate friction, maximize hose life and lower energy
consumption. The roller is mounted on a crankshaft creating eccentric rotation
during the 360° operating cycle. Compared to conventional peristaltic pumps,
Larox says the LPP pumps generate 100% more flow per compression. These pumps
can handle abrasive, corrosive, viscous or crystallizing media and slurries with
high solid content. The new LPP80 pump has a flow capacity of up to 40 m3/h and
a maximum operating pressure of 7.5 bar. Larox LPP peristaltic pumps are equipped
with in-line pipe connections; an optional hose leak detection unit and a patented
adjustment mechanism that senses hose wear when compression is readjusted. This
helps to maximize hose life and minimize the risk of over-compression. The compression
adjustment is based on measuring the compression force making readjustment easy.
Options include a pressure transmitter with display, revolution detector, hose
leak detector, connector hoses, and connector flange for pressure transmitter.
