Pump suits delicate fluid transfers

Pump provides low-cost, yet effective liquids transfer of delicate media in OEM, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other similar critical applications.
The latest addition to the Ismatec range of tubing pumps is the compact and durable Ecoflow pump which provides low-cost, yet effective liquids transfer of delicate media in OEM, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other similar critical applications.
Available from Michael Smith Engineers, the pump can be supplied either as a stand-alone benchtop design for laboratory use, or as a panel-mounted option, the Ecoflow-E.
Both can deliver flows from 100 to 3800ml/min, depending on which of four tubing sizes are used.
A safety switch ensures that the pump can only run when the pumphead is in the closed position.
The benchtop unit has a sturdy stainless steel and PPS housing and a multi-function control knob that can be used to vary the pump's speed and direction of rotation, in addition to turning the pump on and off.
The pump provides peristaltic pumping so the pumped fluid is contained within the tube to ensure zero fluid contamination.
Maintenance is low because the tubing is the only wearing part.
Other pumps in the range can deliver flows from 0.001 to 13,000ml/min and are available with a choice of 10 tubing materials, so they can handle corrosive liquids safely.
They can be supplied with easily calibrated microprocessor controlled drives, making them suited to applications requiring low pressure, low flow accurate pumping or dispensing.
Multi-channel pump head options are available with up to 24 channels, where each channel can deliver independently, yet simultaneously, various liquids at different flow rates.
The pumps are for continuous operation and can be dry-run without any problem.
The design characteristics of tubing pumps makes them suitable for many fluid handling applications including sensitive, delicate and difficult media, for example cell cultures, abrasives, inks and paints in industries such as pharmaceutical, chemical, environmental, biotechnology, printing, plating, food and beverage.
