Valveless piston pump promises accuracy
The new Series PF valveless piston pump is specifically designed to deliver accurate and reproducibile metering.
Its design virtually eliminates clogging and allows for consistent metering and dosing of even soft-solid containing fluids, the firm notes.
The pump features a reciprocating and rotating piston, which depending on the stroke volume and rotation speed, allows for smooth, accurate, and repeatable delivery. With flow rates to 1 l./min (0.26 gpm) and pressures to 6.89 bar (100 psi), the series PF promises to maintain accurate flow throughout the entire pressure range. The pump comes with a standard stepper motor, that when used with an electronic controller, offers easy programmability with reproducible results.
Pumps feature a small package size, numerous mounting options, and chemical compatibility.
