3 fUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The APY Series is a positive displacement pump. The feed chemical is
conveyed by the rotor squeezing the tube in the direction of flow. No
valves are needed for this. This ensures gentle handling of the metered
media.
Maximum pressure on suction/inlet side is 0.5 bar (7 psi approx.)
The APY Series has been designed for safe and uncomplicated operation,
as well as straightforward maintenance.
The APY Series can be used for many different media. However, this pump
type is often the optimal solution for abrasive, shear-sensitive and viscous
media.
Typical areas of use include processes where only a low discharge pressure
is required (max. 2 bar).
