Kecol N7-VM Peristaltic pump

• Transferring shear-sensitive products like yoghurts, creams, and fruit preparations.
• Accurate dosing of sauces, purees, and batters in food production lines.
• Handling viscous liquids and pastes, including those with particulates.
• Pumping abrasive slurries or corrosive chemicals where product containment is critical.

Typical capacity

For this class of peristaltic pump, flow rates commonly range from a few litres per minute up to approximately 20-30 litres per minute, depending on tube diameter and drive speed.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a variable speed drive.

Tube diameter

The stated 2.5-inch (approximately 63mm) diameter refers to the internal diameter of the peristaltic tube, which dictates flow rate and particle handling capability.

Materials of construction

The stainless steel frame is standard for food processing applications, with the pump head and tube materials varying based on product compatibility and hygiene requirements.

Footprint

Peristaltic pumps with a stainless frame are typically compact, designed for integration into existing lines or as standalone mobile units.

Control

Variable speed control is a common feature, allowing for precise adjustment of flow rate and dosing volume.

• What are the main advantages of a peristaltic pump for food processing?

  Peristaltic pumps offer gentle handling of shear-sensitive products, excellent dosing accuracy, and hygienic operation due to the product only contacting the inside of the tube, simplifying cleaning.

• What kind of products is a Kecol N7-VM suitable for?

• How is the flow rate controlled on this type of pump?

• What maintenance is typically required for a peristaltic pump?

• Can this pump handle abrasive products?

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.
