Kecol N7-VM Peristaltic pump

• Transferring shear-sensitive liquids and slurries in food processing.
• Dosing chemicals in water treatment and industrial processes.
• Handling abrasive or corrosive fluids in mining and chemical industries.
• Pumping viscous materials in pharmaceutical and cosmetic production.
• Metering delicate biological cultures in biotechnology applications.

Typical flow rate

Peristaltic pumps of this class typically offer variable flow rates, often ranging from a few litres per hour up to several cubic metres per hour, depending on tube diameter and drive speed.

Hose/Tube diameter

This unit is specified with a 2.5-inch diameter, which is common for medium to high flow applications within the peristaltic pump range.

Pressure capability

Units of this type commonly operate at pressures up to 15 bar, with some specialised models achieving higher.

Power supply

Industrial peristaltic pumps typically require a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK), though smaller units may be single-phase.

Frame material

The stainless steel frame indicates suitability for hygienic or corrosive environments, common in food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.

Variable speed drive

The inclusion of variable speed control is standard for precise flow regulation and adaptability to different process requirements.

Footprint

For a unit with a 2.5-inch hose, the footprint is typically compact for its capacity, designed for integration into existing lines.

• What types of fluids are best suited for a peristaltic pump?

  Peristaltic pumps are ideal for abrasive, corrosive, viscous, shear-sensitive, and high-solids content fluids, as the fluid only contacts the inside of the hose or tube.

• How does variable speed benefit operation?

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

• Is a stainless steel frame important?

• Can this pump handle solids?

• What should I check when buying a used peristaltic 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.
