Products
Watson-Marlow Pumps
Watson‑Marlow cased pumps offer accurate, reliable chemical metering and transfer with no valves, no seals, and no product contact with moving parts. The 530, 630 and 730 ranges provide repeatable performance, gentle low‑shear pumping, and simple tube changes to minimise downtime. With IP31 and IP66 models, plus extensive industrial communication options including 4‑20 mA, RS232/485, PROFIBUS®, EtherNet/IP™ and PROFINET®, our pumps integrate easily into chemical plants. Ideal for corrosive, abrasive, viscous and off‑gassing fluids across dosing, batching and transfer applications.
Bredel Hose Pumps
Bredel hose pumps handle abrasive sludge, paste, and slurries at 100% volumetric accuracy. The heavy-duty peristaltic hose pumps are virtually maintenance-free as there are no impellers, liners or mechanical seals to replace, no check valves to clog, and no rotors or stators to wear out. Providing superior abrasive handling, Bredel pumps can handle flows to 475 gallons per minute (GPM) against pressures as high as 232 psi, with suction lift to 30 feet, and are dry running and reversible.
Qdos
Qdos pumps, including the Qdos H-FLO for higher flow rates up to 600 L/hr, can eliminate the need for ancillary equipment with flow rates from 0.1mL/min to 120 L/hr at pressures of up 9 bar. Qdos pumps have an accuracy of ±1% and repeatability of ±0.5%, and this accuracy results in reduced chemical costs and contributes to less emissions with fewer chemical deliveries. Qdos can reliably handle a wide range of chemicals, such as precipitants, flocculants or disinfectants.
