Watson-Marlow Bredel Launches Peristaltic Pump For Corrosive Chemical Applications

New Bioprene Hose Makes SPX Pump Ideal for Handling Aggressive Chemicals

Watson-Marlow Bredel, a manufacturer of peristaltic pumps, launches its SPX Corrosive Chemical pump, ideal for handling viscous, abrasive and aggressive chemicals in industrial applications. The all new Bioprene hose element, featured in the SPX pump, has excellent chemical resistance to many of the harshest chemicals used in industrial processing applications. And because the hose element is the only component in contact with the pumped product, corrosive and abrasive wear is not a factor for the pump's rotor or body.

The SPX Corrosive Chemical pump is virtually maintenance-free with no expensive seals to replace, no check valves to clog and no rotors and stators to wear out. Advanced hose technology enables the SPX to generate tremendous suction lift and pump chemical products dependably over a long period of time. Fitted with the new Bioprene hose, the SPX pumps are capable of performing at pressures up to 50 psi and possess greater resistance to fatigue, stress and deterioration, cutting downtime and maximizing process efficiency. With its self-loading design, hose replacement is quick and easy, keeping maintenance to a minimum.

Every Watson-Marlow Bredel peristaltic pump is an inherent metering pump with repeatability at 99.5 percent. Many models include integral digital drives and displays in washdown enclosures. These self-priming pumps accommodate flow rates from 0.1 microliter to 350 gpm, and are extremely durable, withstanding pressures up to 232 psi. There are no internal universal joints, valves, dead corners, or glands to impede flow, and these pumps are reversible for back flushing lines. They can also run dry indefinitely without damage and provide up to a 30-foot suction lift.
