available in dual head designs

All pumps are carefully sized for the conditions of service.

Proper selection of a Ponndorf©Peristaltic Pump involves using the following application information:

- Pumpage chemistry for material compatibility
- Pumpage viscosity
- Pumpage temperature
- Pumpage solids (size, nature & concentration)
- Suction (flooded or amount of suction lift)
- Discharge pressure
- Connections (hose barb, threaded, flanged, dairy)
- Duty cycle (operating hrs./ day & days/week)
- Motor (power & enclosure requirements)

We can also furnish the pump on a portable cart, with instrumentation or a complete skid system.

Application example:

Process Requirements:
A leading manufacturer required a pump that could handle an extremely high viscosity product in a coating service that could not tolerate any pulsations.

Solution:
Specified a Ponndorf High pressure hose pump in a dual or twin configuration. Each head´s occlusion operated 180 degrees off from the other to smooth out pulsations. A viscosity correction was run and the pump´s motor and gear reducer sized to operate at a slow enough speed to insure the pump had sufficient time to draw in the highly viscous product.

Philosophy:

Properly size the pump system to insure long uninterrupted service. A smaller pump running at a relatively higher speed will be less expensive at first but will not provide reliability.
