PK40 pump has no seals, glands or valves

A Pump Engineering product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jul 31, 2009

Pump Engineering has announced that the Ponndorf PK40 compact double-head hose pump is now available.

The Ponndorf PK40 high-pressure twin unit is capable of providing flows up to 15,000 litres/hr at pressures up to 15 bar.

The versatile, self-priming, pumps offer the advantages of peristaltic pumping, which are particularly relevant to the food-processing and water-treatment industries.

For example, shear-sensitive, delicate liquids or those containing solids remain unaffected by the pumping process.

The absence of seals, glands and valves reduces the likelihood of component failure and resulting downtime, sometimes associated with demanding pumping applications, such as those involving abrasives and other similar aggressive media.

Cleaning and washing is also simplified because only the hose has contact with the process fluid, therefore quick and effective cleaning is achieved simply by flushing through the hose.

The pump is fully reversible and is supplied with a selection of hose materials including natural rubber, neoprene, hypalon, food-grade NBR and EPDM.

This makes it ideal for transferring products such as sauces, yogurt, creams, pastes or metering/dosing suspended solids, for example, milk of lime dosing in water and effluent treatment applications.
