Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology 530 peristaltic cased pump

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group has introduced the 530 peristaltic cased pump, delivering flow rates from 0.0001 mL/min to 3.5 L/min, for metering and transfer applications such as addition of flavourings, finings and ferments. The pump offers easy operation and versatility coupled with high levels of accuracy.

Compliance to FDA 21CFR177.XXXX is available on all food and beverage tubing and to EC 1935/2004 on selected materials in the range.

The pump’s ability to provide repeatable accuracy helps to maintain a consistent process. Operating parameters can be checked to ensure product quality, while low maintenance promotes greater process uptime. IP66 protection options make it suitable for benchtop or rugged high-pressure washdown areas.

The pumps have the ability to check control parameters and maintain process consistency with visual status through a bright colour display with an intuitive menu structure. Three-level PIN protection assists with process safety and minimises the opportunity for mistakes.

The versatile range of process pumps offers four drive options, enabling users to choose from manual operation to fully automated control. To meet process requirements, the pumps can be fitted with either continuous tubing pumpheads or with LoadSure tube element pumpheads for secure process connection at pressures up to 7 bar.

With integrated PROFIBUS networking capabilities providing two-way, real-time communications, the range offers increased diagnostic capability and faster response. Depending on a user’s process needs, the pumps can feature LoadSure tube elements, which use LoadSure D-connectors and an easy-grip clutched rotor, for simple changeovers.
