Watson-Marlow Bredel Launches Zero Shear Pump For Ceramic Applications
SPX Pump Ideal for Handling Ceramic Slip
Watson-Marlow Bredel, the leading manufacturer of peristaltic pumps, launches its SPX Zero Shear pump, ideal for the handling of ceramic slip. The SPX Zero Shear pump is extremely gentle, imparting virtually no shear, aeration or agitation on the pumped product.
The SPX Zero Shear hose pump is virtually maintenance-free with no expensive seals to replace, no check valves to clog and no rotors and stators to wear out. Unlike other pump types, the SPX's pump life is unaffected by highly abrasive products because the pumped ceramic slip is completely contained within the tubing at all times. There is also no contamination of minute metal particles into the slip, practically eliminating rejected casts.
Advanced hose technology enables the SPX to generate tremendous suction lift and pump slip dependably over a long period of time. With its self-loading design, hose replacement is quick and easy, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Every Watson-Marlow Bredel peristaltic pump is an inherent metering pump with repeatability at 99.5%. Many models include integral digital drives and displays in washdown enclosures. These self-priming pumps accommodate flow rates from 0.1 microliter to 350 gpm, and are extremely durable, withstanding pressures up to 232 psi. There are no internal universal joints, valves, dead corners, or glands to impede flow, and these pumps are reversible for back flushing lines. They can also run dry indefinitely without damage and provide up to a 30-foot suction lift.
