Larox Flowsys Announces Launch of LPP80 Peristaltic Pump
Finland's Larox Flowsys has launched its new LPP80 peristaltic pump. "The purpose of the LPP80 product development was to meet demands for a high-volume pump designed for heavy industrial duties as required in most mineral processing and metallurgical applications, and the process has resulted in a peristaltic pump with exceptional performance and reliability," says Matti Riihimäki of Larox Flowsys Pump Products. "The LPP80 pumps incorporate an advanced design, which eliminates friction, maximizes hose lifetime and lowers energy consumption.
"The pumping action and eccentric rotation during the 360 degree operating cycle is generated by a roller mounted on a crankshaft. This roller together with the hose creates the peristaltic effect. Compared to conventional peristaltic pumps, the LPP80 pumps double the flow per hose compression."
Highly robust and reliable, these pumps can handle abrasive, corrosive, viscous or crystallising media and slurries with high solid content. The new LPP80 pump has a flow capacity of up to 40m3/h and a maximum operating pressure of 7.5 bar. Larox LPP peristaltic pumps are equipped with in-line pipe connections; an optional hose leak detection unit and a patented adjustment mechanism that senses hose wear when compression is readjusted. This helps to maximise hose lifetime and minimise the risk of over-compression. The adjustment mechanism is based directly on the compression force making readjustment easy.
