NORTH RIDGE PUMPS
Your Process – Revolutionised . Controlled . Simplified .
When it comes to the dosing , metering or transfer of aggressive chemicals or abrasive solid laden mixtures there is often only one logical choice – a peristaltic pump .
With innovations in pump technology being few and far between , operators have often been left to create their own control functions , integrate logic and separate custom control panels for pump control .
However , a new locally mounted integrated control function available on the range of peristaltic pumps supplied by North Ridge Pumps is helping to revolutionise pump operation .
Peristaltic Technology Peristaltic technology is well known for its ease of maintenance which can be readily undertaken by non-technical personnel with very little or no training . Its ruggedness due to the lack of internal seals and dry run making it practically bomb proof , and because of its slow working motion ensuring it is barely affected by abrasive , dry liquids which contain suspended solids .
The new control function available Integrated across the full peristaltic family of pumps , can be fitted on both new and existing peristaltic pumps of both low pressure roller or high pressure shoe design to enable the precise , linear and repeatable metering of gaseous , viscous , and shear-sensitive media containing particles up to 16bar .
Specifically It enables the following functions :
• Metering Method – Modes can be set to alter how the pump meters from amounts dosed over a set amount of time – ( timed metering ), to volume proportioning to meet a required concentration based on feedback from an external probe or sensor
Serving users ranging from small scale start-ups who don ’ t have the time , expertise or resource to set up and configure additional controls , to nationwide operators where the simplicity in design , operation and adjustment means that users are far more likely to demand their equipment , than opt for designs which may take significant time or expertise to maintain is revolutionising processes .
It is such a step change in control that in some areas of industry – it is being necessitated in particular by rental companies where monitoring , sampling or water treatment equipment may be required in an emergency or for short periods of time where extensive training or users with a PHD in pump operation & maintenance are not available . Users who need the pump to simply “ work ”, handle the abuse from onsite use and make fine adjustments quickly at the touch of a button .
