At North Ridge Pumps , we ’ re not limited to choosing just one pump design .
For this project , we specified an FMP40 roller peristaltic pump close-coupled on a trolley with a 1.5Kw inverter suitable for use with a 230V single phase supply .
This set-up would be able to transfer the bio-based materials at a rate of 774 to 2735 litres per hour or 12.9 to 45 litres a minute . We made the pump connections from stainless steel so the unit was easy to clean . In addition , the reinforced textile inlay hose within the pump was made from natural rubber .
be feeding a mixing vessel a few metres off the ground and drawing from a small 200L drum . The pump needed to transfer as much as possible from this drum without drawing in air or creating shear forces in the mixture .

A heavy-duty pump where reliability is essential
FMP hose pumps are our biggest peristaltic pumps fitted with roller technology . These rugged units are fitted with reinforced hoses and rotors , heavily engineered integrated bearings , enlarged PU rollers plus our patented clamping system .
Thanks to its robust design and broad capacity range , peristaltic hose roller pumps like this are generally chosen for heavy duty industrial applications where the pump is a vital component in the whole process . Proven reliability is therefore paramount .
In addition , these pumps are easy and economical to maintain . This is because the hose is the only component that can wear , and the only component that is in contact with the fluid .
