Features & Benefits

Peristaltic pumps provide excellent problem solving pumping solutions especially when the product is particularly abrasive, corrosive or viscous.

Seal-less design
The main feature of the peristaltic pump is the hose: because this is the only part of the pump to come in contact with the product it means the pump avoids corrosion and is leak-free.

Low maintenance costs
When the hose does need replacing the cost is minimal compared to other pumps’ maintenance costs, in addition the time needed to replace the hose is much less then that needed to repair other pumps.

Dry running
Many pump users face difficulties when the pump runs dry, peristaltic pumps are able to do this without any lubrication from outside.

Self priming
The pumps are capable of self-priming and can handle products that are likely to “air” or “gas”.

Gentle pumping action
In addition, because of the hose and the pumps’ gentle action, the product being pumped is not damaged in the process thus making peristaltic pumps ideal for shear sensitive products.

High suction lift
The pumps also have high suction capabilities of 9.5m of water and can provide high discharge pressure meaning they are suitable for use where the product being pumped needs to be moved away from the area of the pump.

Abrasion resistant
Hose life is not related to a product's abrasive qualities. The hose only fails due to fatigue or chemical action.

Solids handling
Verderflex pumps can pump slurries containing up to 80% inorganic solids or sludges of 10% organic solids.

Reversible
Due to the action of the pump it can be used to empty lines or clear blockages by reversible rotation.

No slip
The pumps have no internal backflow giving accurate dosing without slip

Accurate dosing
The pumps are accurate in dosing, they have a repeatability of ±1% and metering capabilities of ±5%.

Product capabilities
The pumps are suitable for pumping products over 100,000 CPS or high density products with SGs over 2.
