AxFlow AB has announced the introduction of a new brand of pump, the realax peristaltic pumps. Available in France, UK, Poland, Italy, Denmark, Ireland, Austria, and now Sweden, realax peristaltic pumps reflect new thinking in peristaltic pump technology, giving end-users the widest selection of models available in the market. Employing both shoe and roller technologies the realax pump range comprises four series, namely the APY, ISI, IP and RP, and 24 models, giving capacity rates from 0.16ml/rev through to 20l/rev and pressures from 2 to15 bar. All four series are available ex-stock along with a comprehensive range of hoses.
The complete series of seal-less realax pumps have many common features, including: reversible rotation, corrosion and abrasion resistance, high dosing accuracy, dry running without damage and easy cleaning/low maintenance. All come with a gear motor with integrated inverter and extensive range of accessories.
The realax APY Series is the smallest of the pumps being a roller compression peristaltic pump developed for low volume, low pressure dosing applications. Weighing just 2,2kg without drive, the six models can be used for applications including sampling and dosing in the water and sewage treatment industry, together with dosing and metering ingredients and additives in food processing, chemical processing and general processing.
The five-model ISI and six-model IP Series are both roller compression pumps and offer users capacity rates from 0.023l/rev to 13l/rev at pressure between 2 and 8 bar. Both pumps will meet the requirement of the many pumping applications encountered in the paints/finishings and coatings industry, food production and where applications require sludges and slurries to be transferred.
The seven-model RP Series is very much the work-horse of the range, being a shoe compression pump operating at pressures up to 15 bar and capacity rates of between 0.3l/rev and 20l/rev. This pump is also designed for handling slurries, chemical products and foodstuffs.
AxFlow has had a high profile in the European peristaltic pump market for 35 years playing a major role in the success which this technology has enjoyed and establishing a wide industrial base.
