Autoclude pumps out new options. (Plant & Equipment).

Designers and manufacturers of peristaltic pumps and peristaltic pumping systems, Autoclude have developed a new peristaltic pump that offers several innovative features, including AC or DC motor options.

The low flow AC version is designed for intermittent duty applications, making it a suitable dosing pump for chemicals, soaps, detergents and various other wash/disinfect/rinse products. Powered by a synchronous motor with integral gearbox producing 8rpm and requiring a power supply of 230 v 50Hz, the AC pump has a total weight of 0.25kg.

A quality DC motor option features precious metal brushes and spur gearbox. The pump provides a flow rate up to 260m1/min and is suitable for intermittent or continuous duty applications where chemicals and other liquids are part of the process. Weighing 0.4kg, the unit requires a power supply of 12/24 v DC 7W.

Both AC and DC versions offer a standard range of tube sizes and materials allowing considerable flexibility of usage; a robust pump housing accepts tubes from 1.6mm up to 4.8mm internal diameter.

Tube loading is a simple procedure, with Autoclude's novel design of rotor which can quickly self-feed the tube into position, avoiding the possibility of trapped fingers.

The motor is available with either two or three rollers as required, and a clear polycarbonate hinged protective cover with a simple retaining latch also facilitates easy tube changing.

Assembled pumps are easily panel mounted as the motor/gearbox can be passed through a single hole in the panel and the pump head secured by four fixing screws from the rear of the panel.
