Peristaltic pumps are used in the field of water treatment whenever low pulsation dosing is required at low pressure. As compared to diaphragm dosing pumps, peristaltic pumps are characterized by insensitivity to vapor locks in the medium. Typical applications include the dosing of sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide and hydrochloric acid as well as the dosing of e.g. flocculants or cleaning agents.
The most important service part of a peristaltic pump is the pump hose. For this reason, the Lutz-Jesco peristaltic pump 2.8 l/hr is designed to maximise the service life of the hose and to ensure simple changing of the hose with a minimum of effort.
Spring-loaded rollers protect the hose against excessive pressure when the pressure line is clogged and act as an internal safety valve. The pressure rollers also give way to deposits inside the hose
The wetted materials are suitable for the standard chemicals used in water treatment: acids, alkalis and most of the disinfectants.
Wall mounting is implemented by clipping the pump on a profile rail. Serval pumps can be mounted on one profile rail. A version without housing can be delivered for installation in customer-specific devices
