connected directly to the pump automatically adjusting the volume of chemicals for PH Correction .
• Operation – Start and Stop can be controlled remotely via external input such as a float switch on a tank , a control signal from process , or 4-20ma analogue control directly connected to the unit . If required accelerated maximum metering can be achieved by the pressing of a single button should an external sensor malfunction .
• Access & Control – Menu functions can have access limited by passcode , or functions hidden , with the unit accessed remotely . It can be controlled by industry leading process control systems such as PROFIBUS ®/ Profinet / CANbus as well as being IOT Capable .
• Built In User Interface – Eliminating the need for separate Human Interface ( HMI ), the locally attached display enables full control of the pump via intuitive touchscreen displaying current
flow , operating pressure , warnings in case of hose rupture , as well as stopping the pump prior to pump leakage . Should maintenance be required , it visually guides users on how to replace the hose .
Why choose a Peristaltic Metering Pump ? Peristaltic Metering pumps offer various advantages over other designs of pumps . Due to its simple hose design , it enables the precise metering of gaseous , viscous , and shear-sensitive media , containing particles with ease without the use of valves , or seals prone to blockage , leakage or wear .
It is ideal for liquids ranging from Acids such as Sulfuric acid , hydrogen peroxide , chlorine , sodium hypochlorite , flocculants , coagulants , polymers and other aggressive chemicals .
Reduced Engineering & External Accessories Using this type of pump can mean reduced engineering for process skids , and on site processes through elimination of external accessories .
It ensures non return or pressure loading valves are not required , the predictive flow can eliminate the requirement for an external flowmeter and given the user interface it can also remove the necessity of a control panel .
Should any problems arise on site , visits by expensive onsite engineers to remote or difficult to access locations can typically be avoided as the unit can be accessed & controlled remotely , with onsite personnel guided over the phone or via on screen prompts on how to undertake maintenance of the one wearing part .
