Pumps ensure safer operation

The cost effective pump offers easier operation and greater versatility coupled with high levels of accuracy. Compliance to FDA 21CFR177.XXXX is available on all food and beverage tubing, and EC 1935/2004 on selected materials in the range. 

Food manufacturers demand many things from their process equipment and much of this is concerned with maintaining product integrity, as well as maximising uptime. The dosing and metering of colourings, flavourings and additives must be inherently accurate. 

With this in mind, the key to long-term success for food manufacturers is the 530 pump’s ability to provide repeatable accuracy, which in turn helps to maintain a consistent process. Furthermore, operating parameters can be checked at a glance to ensure product quality, while reliable and low maintenance promotes greater process uptime. IP66 protection options make it suitable for benchtop or rugged high-pressure wash-down areas.

With the new 530 models it is possible to quickly check control parameters and maintain process consistency with visual status through a bright colour display. In addition, an intuitive menu structure makes for confident and easy operator interaction.

Furthermore, the 530 pumps offer three-level PIN protection that assists with process safety and minimises the opportunity for costly mistakes.

Of equal importance in food and beverage applications is the tubing, where chemical compatibility together with good process stability is essential. Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology is the only company that manufactures cased pumps and peristaltic tubing as well as connectors, clamps, hoses and gaskets.
