Masterflex® Advantage

Application:
A dairy processor needs to pump 30% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at pressures up to 30 to 40 psi (2 to 2.7 bar) in an aseptic bottling system. The process engineer is considering the options of either a peristaltic tubing pump or a diaphragm pump.


Diaphragm Pump Disadvantages:

• H2O2 decomposes in contact with metal, releasing O2 gas
• Diaphragm pumps can have difficulty with the back pressure
• Maintenance time increases operating costs

Masterflex Advantages:

• H2O2 is compatible with Norprene tubing with minimal decomposition; pump has no other wetted parts.
• Flow is steady up to required back pressure.
• Tubing lasts up to three months and then takes only minutes to change, minimizing maintenance.
• IP66-rated L/S digital process drive is ideal for the dairy processing environment; 316 stainless steel housing is easy to clean and sanitize. Internal and external (remote) control options increase versatility of feed system.
