Versatile

This range is versatile and suitable for a wide range of specialist applications. The pumps are available in various sizes and speeds, various hose materials and the largest model can achieve flow rates up to 36m³/hr and pressures up to 15 bar. The largest model within our peristaltic pump range can transfer fluid viscosities up to 50,000 cp.

North Ridge Pumps reports that this mine now has a reliable and effective pump installed for its slurry process. Downtime and maintenance have been reduced significantly; consequently, they are saving thousands of pounds in maintenance costs.
