AxFlow introduce peristaltic pump range
Company launch Realax, their first own-brand of pump
AxFlow have launched their first own-brand of pump, the Realax peristaltic pump.
The Realax peristaltic pump range reflects new thinking in peristaltic pump technology, giving end-users the widest selection of models available in the market. Employing both shoe and roller technologies the Realax pump range comprises four series - APY, ISI, IP and RP, and 24 models - giving capacity rates from 0.16ml/rev through to 20 litres/rev and pressures from 2 to15 bar.
The complete series of seal-less Realax pumps have many common features including: reversible rotation, corrosion and abrasion resistance, high dosing accuracy, dry running without damage and easy cleaning/low maintenance.
The pump is available in four versions: bare shaft, gear reducer (fixed speed), integrated inverter and mechanical variable speed. Accessories include: leakage detector, batch controller, vacuum equipment and discharge pulsation dampers.
Pump development programme
AxFlow have had a high profile in the European peristaltic pump market for 35 years and, as a result, have an excellent knowledge of the technology and the vast range of applications for which peristaltic pumps can be used.
Tony Peters, AxFlow’s managing director, commented: ‘For quite some time, our customers have demanded a peristaltic pump that operates efficiently at low pressures while continuing to give high levels of accuracy. Easier maintenance was another key issue. This new range of peristaltic pumps allows AxFlow to address the low pressure end of peristaltic pump applications.’
Apart from the development of a low-pressure, low-capacity pump, Realax addresses the issue of making maintenance easier by a redesign of the inspection window on the pump housing. This makes it easy for the operator to access the rotor and the hub, and easy to change the number of shims to accommodate pressure changes demanded by the application without removing the front cover of the pump case.
