• No seals in contact with the medium pumped.
• No valves to clog.
• Inner surfaces are smooth and easy to clean.
• Fluid contacts only the tubing or tube material.
• Suction lift and priming up to 1.5m water column at sea level.
• Low shearing for handling the most shear sensitive of fluids like latex
or fire fighting foam.
• Capable of running dry and pumping fluids with high quantities of
entrained air, such as black liquor soap.
• High volumetric efficiency allows operation in metering or dosing
applications where high accuracy is required.
• Handle extremely viscous fluids.
• Tubing and tube materials are available that are suitable for food and
pharmaceutical use.
