Pump package suits transfer and dispensing duties
A better performance from an even smaller pump is the claim for the new I-Drive pump package which is ideally suited to liquids transfer and dispensing duties in OEM, laboratory, R and D applications.
Pumps offer consistent pumping accuracy
The Hydra-Cell is an inherently simple pump system, both from a mechanical pumping and control standpoint.
Pumps handle harsh fluids
The LVP range of pumps is designed to provide smooth, nonpulsating, low-shear flows and offer superior suction lift capability and a reversible direction of flow.
These drives, when combined with Micropump pumpheads, deliver smooth pulse-less flows up to five litres a minute at a maximum differential pressures up to 5.6bar.
The unit features Neodymium magnets to increase motor torque capability, which reduces total unit size, while surface mount technology improves reliability.
The variable speed electronic controller offers a 0-5V DC input signal, a 4-20mA current loop, or a manually controlled drive with thermal and overload protection.
A closed loop speed control allows for quick and easy setting of speed.
The simplicity of the built-in speed control and tachometer output enables easy integration into PLC or PC-controlled machines.
The electromagnetic drive and static seals keep the pumped fluid securely inside the pump and potential external contaminants out, while providing smooth, accurate fluid delivery.
The I-Drive is available with an extensive range of wetted material options to ensure compatibility with a wide range of chemicals, it is CE, LVD and EMC-approved and the enclosure is IP55-rated.
