Peristaltic pump delivers flow rate of 3180 l/hr

Paul Boughton

Verderflex has launched the Dura 35, the latest addition to the Verderflex Dura range of peristaltic hose pumps.

The Dura 35 delivers a maximum continuous flow rate of 3180 l/hr or 840 GPH at pressures up to 16Bar or 230PSI.

Weighing just 125kg and taking up to 70 per cent less floor space than similar pumps, the Dura 35 will free up vital working areas to replace more outdated technology.

Dura has fewer system components than other peristaltic pumps, reducing downtime with a novel drive configuration that requires much less space.

Running at a significantly lower operating temperature than equivalent pumps, hose life is improved by up to 40 per cent.

Designed so that the drive is mounted on a torque arm and totally isolated from the housing. There is an air gap between pump casing and gearbox which protects both the pump lubricant, inside casing and the drive's gearbox. They can 'never' cross contaminate and there is no need to remove the drive when servicing the pump.

A one piece taper lock flange connection speeds up hose changes and the universal slotted connection offers a one size fits all solution, meeting the requirements of ANSI, JIS and PN16, improving part availability.

Dura also offers health and safety benefits in the form of quieter action and drive configuration.

The Dura series consists of smaller hose pumps; the Dura10, Dura15 and Dura25, based on a long coupled design with close coupled advantages.

The bearing construction is 'sealed for life' and centrally absorbs the forces released in the pump. This results in quieter operation and a more durable pump and drive.

The drive shaft has been designed to reduce the loading on the gearbox and motor.
