Peristaltic pump for complex polymers

The Qdos 60 PU peristaltic pump, launched by Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions, offers precise and repeatable flows for many hard-to-handle fluids, including viscous flows and aliphatic hydrocarbons, at linear flow rates of up to 60 l/hr and pressures of up to 5 bar. The pump provides compatibility for complex polymers such as polyacrylamide (PAM) and other flocculants and coagulants used in wastewater treatment.

The pump is optimised for low-shear, gentle pumping to protect polymer chains and maintain product integrity. As with the Qdos 20 PU, it uses an aliphatic hydrocarbon-resistant tubing material, enhancing chemical compatibility in peristaltic pumps.

Peristaltic pumps have notable advantages over diaphragm pumps in PAM metering applications, including enhanced accuracy and reliability. There is no need for diaphragms, valves, or seals that risk clogging.
The design of Qdos pumps means the only part of the pump that ever requires replacing is the ReNu pumphead. It offers repeatable, accurate flow rates and lasts longer for tough applications in the field, and it takes less than a minute to replace the pumphead. www.wmfts.com
