Peristaltic Pumps for Industrial Applications

Vector peristaltic pumps are available with hose sizes from ½" to 2½" to provide flow rates from 0.1 GPM to 50 GPM for transferring fluids at pressures up to 60 PSI. Vector peristaltic pumps are used to transfer viscous, pure or other non-lubricating "difficult to pump fluids" such as egg yokes, custards, cold crèmes and chemicals from a holding tank to a processing line. Vector pumps have excellent suction lift capabilities.

Wanner Engineering, the innovative company that brought you the Hydra-Cell™ pump, has added another product to their industrial pump line - The Vector Peristaltic Pump. When you use a Vector Pump, nothing comes into contact with the fluid except the hose material.  Since hoses can be changed quickly without coming into contact with the pumped fluid, they are often used to transfer solids laden waste water, chemical slurries and other volatile fluids in a safe, reliable manner. Vector pumps are an excellent alternative to air operated diaphragm pumps.  They do not require air, will not stall when run at low RPM's and operate equally well in both hot and cold weather. And just like the Hydra-Cell™, Vector pumps can be run dry!

Key Benefits

• Vector pumps use rollers to compress their hose, which extends hose life.
• They meter more accurately. They don’t lose fluid in suction piping when idle.
• They do not have the potential to foam fluids the way air operated diaphragm pumps do.
• Vectors can be run dry to ensure all fluid is transferred from inlet/discharge lines, minimizing product waste.  Also reduces the amount of cleaning fluid required to properly clean the inlet/discharge lines, decreasing disposal costs.
• Hose pumps can be used as a vacuum pump. They have been used to remove hazardous vapors.
• Hose pumps can be cleaned in-place. "Easier to maintain"
• Vector pumps handle fluids that have suspended solids with ease.  If solids were to settle-out during idle periods, it would not have a detrimental effect on the pumping action of Vector pumps.
