Watson-Marlow presents positive displacement pumps

Watson-Marlow Pumps has announced that it will exhibit its enhanced range of positive displacement pump technologies at Total 2010.

Following the recent acquisitions of aseptic filling and capping systems specialist Flexicon and sinusoidal pump company Masosine, Watson-Marlow Pumps has extended its offering to the process and packaging machinery industries.

Visitors to the Watson-Marlow stand (5673) will be able to see a range of products and solutions from five parts of the organisation.

Watson-Marlow Masosine will be exhibiting pumps to handle shear sensitive and variable viscosity products in food, toiletry/cosmetic, pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

Masosine positive displacement pumps are said to be reliable and economical for sanitary and industrial applications.

One rotor, one shaft and one seal offer users simple and low-cost maintenance.

Masosine pumps enable Watson-Marlow to offer an increased flow rate range and handle higher viscosities without shear or cavitation.

Fully working models of the SPS range of pumps will be available to view on the stand.

Visitors from the pharmaceutical and diagnostic sectors may be interested in the aseptic liquid filling, plugging and crimp capping system from Watson-Marlow Flexicon.

This technology is aimed at small to medium-sized batch production flexibility - from laboratory benchtop to clinic trial stage - where high precision and efficiency are required.

Watson-Marlow Flexicon has equipped its FPC50 automatic liquid filling, stoppering and capping system with a Wipotec weighing cell, which provides 100 per cent check weighing of all vials.

The weighing cell is connected to the filling system and thus fully automatic recalibration of the filling pump during the entire batch is ensured.

Able to deliver fill volumes ranging from 0.1ml to 100ml and a filling accuracy of +/-0.5 per cent, the technology is suitable for applications involving small batches such as contract fillers and research and development trials.

Watson-Marlow will also showcase its peristaltic pumps and tubing technology at the Total show.

Visitors will be able to see the company's Profibus-enabled cased peristaltic pumps.

Rated to IP66, three Profibus-enabled units are now available.

This recent development from Watson-Marlow puts less 'distance' between the pumps and the manufacturer's control system.

Experts from the OEM pump division, Watson-Marlow Alitea, will also be on hand to discuss OEM pump solutions that could save users money.

Products on display will include the easy-loading, rugged, low-flow 114 pumphead.

Designers created the 114 in response to calls for an advanced yet cost-effective low-flow pumphead in a compact configuration.

For extra pumphead longevity, strong and high-performing materials are used to provide chemical resistance and temperature stability.

A range of heavy-duty hose pumps for a range of process applications will also be on display from Watson-Marlow Bredel.

The Bredel range of hose pumps offer a range of flow rates up to 80m3/h and pressures up to 16 bar.
