Larox Flowsys is launching the Larox LPP80 peristaltic pump. The purpose of the LPP80 product development was to meet demands for a high-volume pump designed for heavy industrial duties as required in mineral processing and metallurgical applications.

The result is a peristaltic pump with exceptional performance and reliability: friction is eliminated, hose life is improved, and energy consumption is reduced.

The Larox LPP pumps incorporate an innovative patented rolling design, which is claimed to be the first real change in the industry in over 30 years.

The roller is mounted on a crankshaft creating eccentric rotation during the 360-degree operating cycle. Compared with conventional peristaltic pumps, the LPP pumps are claimed to generate 100 per cent more flow per compression, which is a major benefit.

Highly robust and reliable, these pumps can handle abrasive, corrosive, viscous or crystallising media and slurries with high solid content. The new LPP80 pump has a flow capacity of up to 40 m3/h and a maximum operating pressure of 7.5 bar.

Larox LPP peristaltic pumps are equipped with in-line pipe connections; also available are an optional hose leak detection unit and a patented adjustment mechanism that senses hose wear when compression is readjusted. This helps to maximise hose lifetime and minimise the risk of over-compression. The compression adjustment is based on measuring the compression force making readjustment easy.
