Larox unveils the LPP-M peristaltic pump for metering

The Larox LPP pump family has been expanded to include the LPP-M, which is designed for accurate metering. The LPP-M pumps have an exact flow per revolution irrespective of the pipeline pressure and have accurate metering throughout the whole flow range. Designed and manufactured for the industrial marketplace, the LPP-M pumps are manufactured using elastomers, making them perfect for pumping diverse slurries and metering a range of media in a variety of industry fields ranging from chemical, construction and mineral processes to food and beverage industries.

The LPP-M pumps are equipped with the same technical features of a typical peristaltic pump, including dry run capabilities and self priming, and they also provide exact flow per cycle. The LPP-M pumps are compact in design, have the highest maximum working pressure of any pump on the market and are equipped with Tube Failure Detection (TFD). This system is capable of detecting the presence of a large number of chemicals.

The LPP-M tube material selection includes two types of tubes: Norprene for chemicals and Tygothane for oils and fats. The correct mechanical design and material selection are essential for optimal tube life, and factory assembled PVDF adapter fittings allow easy tube changes.
