Autoclude Model V Peristaltic Pump

• Dosing of chemicals in water treatment.
• Transfer of viscous or shear-sensitive fluids in laboratories.
• Metering of flavourings and additives in food processing.
• Handling of abrasive slurries in industrial applications.
• Dispensing of inks and coatings in printing.

Typical flow rate

For this class of peristaltic pump, flow rates typically range from a few millilitres per minute up to several litres per minute, depending on tubing size and motor speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type are single-phase electrical supplies, typically 230V, 50Hz, though DC motor options are also available for some models.

Pressure capability

Peristaltic pumps like the Model V typically operate at discharge pressures up to 2-3 bar, suitable for low to medium pressure applications.

Tubing material compatibility

The pump head is designed to accommodate various tubing materials, including Marprene, Silicone, Tygon, and Viton, allowing for compatibility with a wide range of fluids.

Control interface

Units typically feature basic analogue controls for speed adjustment, with some models offering digital displays or remote control options.

Footprint

The Model V is generally a compact benchtop unit, suitable for integration into existing systems or use in confined spaces.

• What types of fluids can a peristaltic pump handle?

  Peristaltic pumps are well-suited for handling a wide range of fluids, including corrosive chemicals, viscous slurries, shear-sensitive biological solutions, and abrasive materials, as the fluid only contacts the inside of the tubing.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used peristaltic pump?

• How accurate are peristaltic pumps for dosing applications?

• Can this pump run dry without damage?

• What should I check when buying a used Autoclude Model V pump?

Peristaltic pumps are valued in laboratory and pharmaceutical settings for their gentle, non-contact fluid handling, making them suitable for delicate samples and sterile applications. When buying used units, buyers typically prioritise checking tubing condition, motor functionality, and calibration history. Industry sentiment favours these pumps for their reliability, low maintenance requirements, and consistent flow rates. Common strengths include versatility across various fluid viscosities and compatibility with corrosive or shear-sensitive media. Prospective buyers should verify spare parts availability for specific models.
